Output Mixer
5.36
Every preset includes a fully programmable output mixer. This provides four pairs of controls for setting the output
level, balance for each of the four grid rows, and a master level adjustment control. To edit Output Mixer
parameters, press
and navigate all the way to the right to select the OUTPUT column at the right of the
grid, then press
.

LEVEL 1–4
– Think of these as input faders. Each is connected to one row of the grid as shown above.
BAL 1–4
– Each of these is connected to one row of the grid as shown above and determines the left-right
balance for the incoming signals. See
BALANCE
under
Common Mix Parameters
(below) for more information.
MAIN
– Sets the overall level of the main mix for the selected preset. Use this control to adjust the relative levels
of different presets, but be careful not to clip the main outputs.
This parameter can be adjusted via MIDI using the
VOL INCR/VOL DECR
The setting for
MAIN
is stored per scene (see SCENES on p.184)
Common Mix Parameters
5.37
Almost every block in the Axe-Fx II has a
MIX
page with parameters to determine how the output of that block
contributes to the overall preset signal. On some blocks, these controls appear on other pages. Take a moment to
familiarize yourself with these important controls and the differences between their settings.
MIX
– Determines the balance of wet and dry signals produced
at the block output. For basic purposes, setting the mix by ear is
generally the best way to achieve a desired result. 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 the dry
and the wet being at equal levels of attenuation (-6 db) in
comparison to their maximum output levels, as shown at right.
Note that the Delay block mix control uses a different mix law.
