FC-12: SHORT TUTORIAL
For the FC-6 Tutorial see p.44.
The following tutorial will be easier to follow if you have reviewed the previous sections of this manual. At a
minimum, see “The Master Layout Menu” on p. 11 and “Factory Default Layouts” on p. 14.
A CLOSER LOOK
Factory default Layouts 7 and 8 were created as examples of how Layouts and Functions can work to control the
Axe-Fx III during a live performance.
is intended to provide an easy way to select presets and scenes on the FC-12. Four
switches in the upper row (green rings) allow you to select presets. Four switches in the lower (red rings) load
scenes 1 through 4 for the current preset. Both Preset and Scene footswitches are set to show the “Destination”,
which is to say, the name of the Preset or Scene which will be loaded when the switch is activated.
The two right-most switches step to the next or previous group of four presets.
(We didn’t use Bank Switches because “LAYOUT 1: PRESETS” requires a bank size of 10, but we DID set the LED
ring colors to look like a Bank select switches.)
The top left switch switches to Layout 8 and has the custom label “<EFFECTS>”.
The lower left switch is Tap Tempo, with a Hold function to access the Tuner.
The Hold function of the lower right switch is set to “Reveal Hold”, which shows the Hold functions of
switches in this layout.
contains 10 classic “Instant Access” switches set up as Compressor 1, Pan/Tremolo 1,
Phaser 1, Drive 1, Chorus 1, Flanger 1, Delay 1, Plex Delay 1, Rotary 1, and Reverb 1. All of these have their Hold
function set to toggle between Channels A and B. (This emulates the classic “Press and Hold for XY” found on
some of our other products.)
The lower right switch toggles Amp 1 between Channels A and B. The press and Hold function of this switch is
set to “Reveal Hold”, as on layout 7.
The upper left switch returns to Layout 7 and has the custom label “<MAIN>”.
