The LEVEL control controls the output level of the block. The mixed signal is increased or
decreased according to this control. The proper way to set the level is to bypass the effect using the
EFF BYP
button and compare the levels. Adjust the level until the volume is the same with the
effect active. You may desire some boost with a particular effect active (distortion for example) so
you can also increase the level to achieve this.
The
BAL control controls the balance of the output signals. Every effect in the Axe-Fx has stereo
outputs. With the control at 12:00 the signal is equal in both the left and right channels. The
BAL
control allows you to adjust the relative volumes of the left and right channels.
The
BYPASS mode controls the operation of the effect when the block is bypassed. Effects may
contain any or all of the following modes depending upon the effect type:
• MIX = 0% : In this mode the MIX control is effectively turned to 0 and the LEVEL control to
0 dB. The block is effectively the same as a shunt in this case.
• MUTE FX OUT : In this mode the wet signal is muted and the dry signal is preserved at the
level set by the MIX and LEVEL controls.
• MUTE OUT : In this mode the output of the block is shut off (both wet and dry muted).
• MUTE FX IN : In this mode the effects input of the block is muted and the dry signal is
preserved at the level set by the MIX and LEVEL controls. Only the Reverb, Delay and Pitch
blocks have this mode. This allows the effect to continue after the effect has been bypassed.
This mode can be used, for example, to allow a delay to continue after the block is bypassed
without abruptly cutting off.
• MUTE IN : In this mode the input of the block is muted. You can use this mode to bypass an
effect but still have the effect sound continue, i.e. the delay repeats continue to sound.
For effects like Chorus, Flanger, etc.
MIX = 0% is the most effective mode when used in a series
configuration. Use the Level control to balance the effect volume between normal and bypassed
states.
For effects like Delay and Reverb, the
MUTE FX OUT, MUTE FX IN and MUTE IN modes may be
more effective as the dry level is unaltered allowing the effect to be turned on or off without
changing the direct signal level.
For non-mixable effects such as equalization (Graphic EQ, Wah), distortion (Amplifier) and
Cabinet Emulation the bypass mode is one of two states:
• THRU : In this mode bypassing the effect effectively turns the effect into a shunt.
• MUTE : Mutes the output of the effect.
