Global Parameters
The Global Parameters section, accessed by pressing the front panel
button, contains four pages of
menus that control sound settings across all presets and modes. Changes made in this area take effect
immediately without needing to be STORED. The settings for all global parameters are included in a backup of the
Axe-Fx II “SYSTEM” (See p.
). Default assignments for all system parameters are listed beginning on p.
Configuration Parameters
8.1
The Configuration page (“CONFIG”) of the GLOBAL menu contains parameters that affect all presets at once.
PARAMETER
Description
DEFAULT MODELING
VERSION
(LATEST/etc.)
(XL/XL+ ONLY!)
Selects which version of modeling to use when choosing a new amp
model or when loading presets made with previous firmware versions. You can override
this setting in any preset with the
MODELING VERSION
parameter in the Amp block.
FORCE DEFAULT
VERSION
(ON/OFF)
When set to “ON”, this forces all presets to load the selected
DEFAULT MODELING VERSION
(above), in effect overriding any per-preset overrides.
POWER AMP
MODELLING
(OFF/ON)
Enables or disables power amp simulation for all AMP blocks in all presets. This capability
is provided for cases when the Axe-Fx II is used with a guitar-oriented/tube power amp
that contributes significantly to tone and dynamics. Having these characteristics applied
twice to the sound—once in the Axe-Fx II and once in the real power amp—would result
in an over-processed tone. Preamp (gain, tone, etc.), Graphic EQ, and Mixer (Level,
Balance, etc.) sections of the AMP block continue to affect the sound.
CABINET MODELLING
(ACTIVE/BYPASSED)
This parameter enables or disables all CAB block processing in all presets. The CAB blocks
will not physically appear to be bypassed, but they will act exactly as if they have been
replaced by shunts. Use this when you are using the Axe-Fx II with an amp powering real
guitar speaker cabinets or the sound will be muffled, muddy, and boomy.
SPILLOVER
(OFF/DELAY/
REVERB/BOTH)
Allows delays and reverbs tails to ring out or “spill over” across preset changes. You can
select whether DELAY, REVERB, or BOTH effects will spill over. Setting this to OFF causes
effect tails to be “cleared” upon preset change. See section
on p.
for more.
REVERB MIX
(+/- 50%)
Allows you to boost or cut the MIX setting across all REVERB blocks in all presets at once.
Note that an offset applied here will NOT be reflected in the value shown in the EDIT
menu of the actual Reverb blocks. This capability is provided to compensate for the fact
that certain performance spaces may require more or less reverb “across the board.”
EFFECTS MIX
(+/- 50%)
This parameter allows you to boost or cut the setting of the MIX parameter of all blocks
for which the GLOBAL MIX parameter is set to “ON.” This switch must be enabled on a
per-block/per-preset basis and is available on the following block types:
Chorus
Delay
Flanger
Formant
Megatap Delay
Multi-Delay
Phaser
Pitch
Quad Chorus
Resonator
Reverb
Ring Mod
Rotary
Synth
Vocoder
This feature is provided so you can design presets with the built-in ability to compensate
for how different performance spaces may require more or less “wet” mix.
