Example Presets on the Grid
4.2.5
Four sample presets are shown below as visualized in Axe-Edit, the companion software editor to the Axe-Fx II.
Review the diagrams to get a sense of how presets are constructed and how they appear on the grid.
EXAMPLE 1: Simple Amp Tone –
In this extremely simple preset, an AMP and a CAB are combined for a straight-
ahead tone. Shunts and connectors (which appear in Axe-Edit almost as one continuous cable), connect the INPUT
to the AMP, the AMP to the CAB, and the CAB to the OUTPUT.

EXAMPLE 2: Long Pedal Chain –
Here, effects are strung together to create a giant virtual rig. Compressor, Volume,
Wah, Whammy, Tremolo, Overdrive, Phaser, and Flanger are all connected to an AMP/CAB combination, followed
by Delay and Reverb. As you can see, the Axe-Fx II supports a great number of simultaneous effects; this preset
uses just a portion of the unit’s total CPU power, leaving considerable room for more effects on other rows.
