The Effects

Ring Modulator (Ultra Only)
The Ring Modulator is a double-sideband modulator that can be used to create harmonically
unrelated tones from the input. The Ring Modulator differs from the classic effect in that the
frequency can be controlled by the pitch of the input.
Parameters
FREQ -
Sets the frequency of the oscillator.
FMULT -
Sets the frequency multiplier for the oscillator. The actual oscillator frequency is the
FREQ
value times the
FMULT
value.
TRACK -
When this is set to ON, the frequency of the oscillator tracks the input pitch. The actual
frequency is then the pitch times the
FMULT
value.
LOCUT -
Sets the cutoff frequency of a lowpass filter on the output.
Stereo Enhancer
The Stereo Enhancer is used to increase the apparent stereo separation between the left and right
outputs. When used judiciously it can make a stereo track appear “fuller” and “wider”.
The Enhancer block also contains individual left and right pan controls. These controls allow you
to adjust the placement of the left and right output signals in the stereo field. You can use these
controls to turn a stereo signal into two mono outputs (set both to 0.0), or reduce the stereo
separation or as general stereo manipulation tools.
WIDTH -
Sets the phase difference between the left and right channels. Adjust until the desired
effect is achieved. Certain frequencies may cancel each other at various settings, experiment with
this to achieve the desired enhancement and frequency response.
INVERT -
Allows inversion of the left or right channel (or both) if desired. Use in conjunction with
the width control to adjust frequency and apparent widening.
PANL -
Controls the panning of the left output signal.
PANR -
Controls the panning of the right output signal.
BAL -
Sometimes the effect will cause a shift in the apparent localization of the instrument. The
balance control may be used to compensate for this.
Effects Loop / Aux. Out
The Axe-Fx has a fully routable effects loop which allows you to use outboard processors anywhere
in the signal chain. The effects loop can also be used as an auxiliary output for live stage monitoring
through an amplifier and cabinet or as a general purpose output. To use the effects loop as an
