5 FOOTSWITCH FUNCTIONS
UTILITY: TUNER
Engages the tuner. The tuner display is shown both on the Axe-Fx III and the FC Controller.
To disengage the tuner, activate the switch again. Changing the layout will also disengage the tuner.
€
The LED ring is bright while the Tuner is engaged and dim when it is off.
The Mini-Display can show the function (“Tuner”) or your choice of custom label.
UTILITY: TAP TEMPO
This footswitch serves the same function as the Tempo button on the Front Panel of the
Axe-Fx III. NOTE: By default, the tempo averages across ten taps, but you can set it to use
only two taps with an option found under .
The Tap tempo switch is unique in that it registers timing based on the switch
down, even when a Hold function is assigned to the same footswitch.
€
The LED ring flashes the current tempo.
The Mini-Display can show the function (“Tap Tempo”) or your choice of custom label.
UTILITY: AMP LEVEL AND SAVE
IMPORTANT! All unsaved changes such as altered effect parameters or bypass
states will be stored when Set Amp Volume and Save is triggered!
This function similar to one found in the MIDI Remote menu of the Axe-Fx III. It provides a
convenient way to permanently increase or decrease the level of the Amp block(s) in the current
preset. Each time the switch is activated, the level of the current Channel for the designated
amp block(s) is increased or decreased by a set amount, and the preset is saved.
Target Amp Block(s) – Designates whether to adjust Amp 1, Amp 2, or both Amp blocks.
Increment/Decrement – Sets the amount of the change in dB from -2 to +2.
€
The LED is bright while the switch is active and dim when it is not.
The Mini-Display can show the function “Amp # +1dB” or your choice of custom label.
UTILITY: REVEAL HOLD
While active, this function causes the Mini LCDs for all footswitches to show their Hold functions instead
of their Tap functions. Remember that you can also see the Hold function for any switch simply by
pressing it, but with this Reveal function you can see the entire controller at once without any risk.
The Mini-Display can show the function (“Hold Funcs”) or your choice of custom label.
€
The LED ring is bright while the switch is active and dim when it is not.
NOTE: Reveal Hold is unique in that it works as a Hold function whether
you assign it to Tap or Hold. It should therefore NOT be assigned as a Tap
function so as to avoid interference with any other Hold function.
