FC-6 Performance Layout Tutorial (Continued)
TRY EZ EDIT
Let’s use EZ edit to modify one of the switches on Layout 8 (“PERFORM 2”).
1. On the Axe-Fx III, press HOME and enter the Setup menu (push knob E).
2. Use the NAV knob (A) or buttons to select the FC Controllers menu and press ENTER.
3. If it isn’t already shown, use the PAGE buttons to select the “EZ” tab.
4. Tap any switch on the FC. At the top of the screen, a small image of the FC-6 shows which switch you tapped.
A text message to the left of the image indicates that we are using “FC#1 of 1”. The message also shows the
unit type (FC-6 in this case).
5. You should be on Layout 8: PERFORM 2. If not, use the Layout parameter at the top of EZ page to load it now.
6. Let’s change the Chorus switch to control the Phaser instead. Tap the switch now on the FC-6.
7. Notice the current settings under TAP FUNCTION:
 Category: Effect
 Function: Bypass
 Effect: Chorus 1
8. Navigate to the “Effect” parameter and use the C or VALUE knob to change “Chorus 1” to “Phaser 1”.
You never need to save changes in the FC Controllers menu; they take effect immediately.
9.  The Hold function of this switch changes the effect Channel. Let’s also make sure that
it targets “Phaser 1”. Nav down and notice the current settings under HOLD FUNCTION:
 Category: Effect
 Function: Chan Toggle
 Effect: Chorus 1
 Primary Channel: A
 Secondary Channel: B
10. Navigate to the “Effect” parameter and use the C or VALUE knob to change “Chorus 1” to “Phaser 1”.
11. Now let’s test the modied switch. Remember: to prevent mishaps and accidental navigation, the switches on
the FC don’t work while the EZ page is on screen. Press EXIT to leave the FC Controllers menu.
You never need to save changes in the FC Controllers menu; they take effect immediately.
12. Select factory Preset 023 “Friedman BE-100” which contains a Phaser block dialed in for channels A and B.
Tap the new Phase 1 footswitch and the effect will be engaged or bypassed. Hold the switch and Phaser 1
will toggle from Channel A to B or vice versa.
This concludes the short tutorial. You can use what you’ve learned here to
modify any switch in any layout to perform any function.
