1 INTRODUCTION
Each of the two local Expression jacks of the Axe-Fx III allows you to connect one expression pedal or one
external footswitch. A connected pedal or switch can change effect parameters, or operate any of a long list of
global functions. Many factory presets are ready for use with one or more pedals.
TO CONNECT & CALIBRATE AN EXPRESSION PEDAL...
Expression pedals for the Axe-Fx III should have a linear resistance taper and must have a maximum resistance in
the range of 10–100kΩ. Expression pedals must be used with Tip-Ring-Sleeve (TRS) cables!
Connect your expression pedal to the desired jack with a TRS cable, then follow these instructions to calibrate:
Page to the Pedal page of the I/O menu under SETUP.
Ensure that Pedal Type is set to “CONTINUOUS”.
Navigate to the Calibrate Pedal function and press the
ENTER
button.
Follow the on-screen instructions to perform calibration.
TO CONNECT A SWITCH...
Follow the instructions above and simply set Type to “MOMENTARY” or “LATCHING” based on what you’re
connecting. (If you’re not sure, check with the switch manufacturer or try both settings to see which works better.)
Calibration is not required. You can use a normal guitar cable (TS) for switches. Only ONE switch can be used at
each pf the pedal jacks.
THE EV-SERIES EXPRESSION PEDAL
The Fractal Audio Systems EV series of expression pedals are perfect for use with all Fractal Audio Systems
products. The EV-1 is a full-sized expression pedal. The EV-2 is a compact version. These pedals feature rugged
cast metal casings, a high quality 100kΩ potentiometer, and built-in analog volume pedal capability. Learn more at

WHAT IS TRS?
“TRS” stands for TIP-RING-SLEEVE and describes the
configuration of a 1/4" end plug or jack with three contacts. Normal guitar cables
are “TS” (Tip-Sleeve) since they lack the “ring” used as a third contact. Expression
pedals require TRS cables because voltage is transmitted to them on one contact
(the tip), and returned on another (the ring), allowing the host device to sense pedal
position. The third contact (sleeve) is connected to ground.
This section is for pedals connected to the local “Expression” jacks of the Axe-Fx III.
