4 LAYOUTS & SWITCHES
FACTORY DEFAULT LAYOUTS
Factory default settings for the FC include various pre-dened layouts: one for
selecting presets, one for changing scenes, one for the looper, and so on.
The following pages detail the factory default layouts for the FC-6 and FC-12.
The Axe-Fx III has so many capabilities, and there are so many different categories of player (bedroom, small
stage, touring professional, session player, etc) that there really is no such thing as an ideal layout—no “one-size-
ts-all” solution. We have therefore provided a set of layouts to demonstrate the very basic capabilities of the FC.
This gives beginners an easy way to select presets, change scenes, toggle effects, operate the looper and
more. Those who desire to make changes will nd it is very easy to create the perfect custom controller.
Here are a few things to know about the default layouts:
FC-6 and FC-12 have different default layouts. Be sure to follow the instructions under
“Congure the Axe-Fx III” on p. 5, especially if you are using an FC-6.
The Factory default layouts are designed to be simple.
The idea was that they should require almost no explanation, so someone using
the FC for the rst time could easily understand its broad capabilities.
Changing between the default layouts relies almost entirely on the Master Layout Menu (see p.11).
Except as noted, the default layouts do not have Hold functions.
Remember, you can change any switch on any layout to do anything you want. See
Section 5: Footswitch Functions for a complete guide to all functions.
Before either of the “Per-Preset” layouts will work, you’ll need to add custom switch
denitions to your presets. See “Per-Preset Functions” on p. 34
Layouts 7 and 8 are supported with simple tutorials on p. 44 and p. 46.
