Figure 5-13 – Effects Loop Routing
The Effects Loop block is frequently used to insert the preamp section of a head or combo. The main output of the
Axe-Fx is then routed to the effect loop input of the real amp. See the diagram on p.
for more on “the four cable
method” of setting up the Axe-Fx II.
Alternate Use as an Auxiliary Output or Input
The
FX Loop
Block doubles as a means to provide an auxiliary output or Input. Feeding signal to the [FXL] block
routes signal directly to the
jacks. This is useful, for instance, to send a fully processed mix to the front-
of-house while simultaneously feeding a real power amp and speaker cabs. See the example on p.
details. Alternatively, you might use the INPUTS and not the OUTPUTS so the [FXL] block allows a second input
signal to be “injected” on to the Axe-Fx layout grid at any point. It is possible to process (discretely) up to four
channels of input in this way and have them mixed to a single pair of outputs.
The SEND page of the
FX Loop
is a standard Axe-Fx mixer. See page
on p. 177 for details. The FX LOOP’s
setting for
MAIN
is stored per scene (see
SCENES
on p. 169).
The
FX Loop
block has a
MIX
page with
LEVEL, BALANCE,
and
BYPASS MODE
parameters. See
on p.
for more information.
Each Axe-Fx II preset can use one
FX Loop
block.
