8 BLOCKS GUIDE
COMMON MIX/LEVEL PARAMETERS
Almost every block in the Axe-Fx III has a Mix page with parameters that determine how that block contributes to
the preset. All Mix pages use one or more of the following standard parameters. Different blocks have different
Mix page parameters because they require different approaches. You may need to change more than one
parameter setting to achieve a desired result.
Mix
– Determines the balance of wet and dry signals. In most cases, setting the
mix by ear is best.
With the exception of a few blocks that use a constant power algorithm, Mix
controls the dB levels of wet and dry signals in an inverse linear relationship. A
mix setting of 50% results in both wet and dry being at -6 db in comparison to
their maximum output levels. A diagram (right) illustrates this "mix law".
Note: See “The Delay Block” for details on how its Mix control works differently.
Level
– As you would expect, this controls the overall output level of the block.
Balance
– Every block outputs both left and right signals. As you adjust to the left or right, the opposite channel
gets quieter. Both the wet and the dry are affected.
Bypass
– Blocks have a dedicated Bypass parameter for the purpose of allowing Modifier control.
Bypass Mode
– This setting determines what happens when the block is bypassed. The different options are
detailed below. Not every option is available in every block.

MUTE OUT – When the block is bypassed, all audio is totally silenced at the
outputs. Effect tails are silenced immediately, but the input is still “listening”
so tails may be heard when you engage the effect.
MUTE – When the block is bypassed, both wet and dry are totally silenced.
THRU – When bypassed, the block is completely disengaged. None of its parameters
have any effect on the sound; it behaves exactly as if it were a shunt.
MUTE FX IN – When the block is bypassed, the inputs to the effect are
muted, and the dry level is unaffected. This allows effect “tails” to ring.
LEVEL and BALANCE affect the dry even when the block is bypassed. Use
this for time-based effects in series when you want spillover.
MUTE FX OUT – When the block is bypassed, the outputs of the effect are
muted, and the dry level is unaffected. The effect is always “listening” so
tails are heard already when you engage, but are silenced when you bypass.
LEVEL and BALANCE affect the dry even when the block is bypassed.
MUTE IN –When the block is bypassed, its inputs are muted. This silences
both wet and dry but allows effect tails to ring out or spillover. Use this for
time-based effects in parallel.
