MIRRORING
Mirroring is a special setting that forces two or more daisy-chained FC units to remain perfectly
in sync. They show the same layouts, with all the same switches and switch states. Any change
to any mirrored unit is reflected instantly on the other mirrored unit(s). The usual scenario for
mirroring involves an artist on stage with a tech offstage who helps with switching.
To mirror one FC to another:
Change to the Devices page of the FC Controllers menu under SETUP.
Select the row for the FC unit that you want to mirror, then select the desired unit to mirror using the D knob.
A note on pedals and switches: Connected expression pedals and switches are NOT mirrored,
since pedal jacks are named explicitly in modiers or controller assignments. For example,
“External 1” on your Axe-Fx might be set to “FC#1 PEDAL #1”. A preset using External 1
then will ONLY respond to that specic pedal and not the pedal 1 jack on a mirrored FC.
Fortunately, different presets, effects, or parameters can be assigned as desired to individual
pedal or switch jacks, so in one song, you might operate a wah, while during a different
song, your tech could do it for you offstage while you fly through the air on wires.
Any unit(s) can mirror any other unit(s), so be careful not to create a circular mirror
(1 mirrors 2, 2 mirrors 1). This will cause one or both FC units to
behave unpredictably until the problem is corrected.
