Working It: WAY IMPORTANT INFO ON SETTING LEVELS

WORKING IT
OK, so let’s take a few minutes and get down to business with the AX2 together, and
see how it all works.
WAY IMPORTANT INFO ON SETTING LEVELS
I KNOW – WE’VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE. BUT IT IS PROBABLY THE MOST
IMPORTANT SETTING ON THE AX2, SO WE'RE JUST GONNA TALK ABOUT IT AGAIN.
In order to get the best tone, it is imperative that you set the input level properly!
1. Turn the GUITAR, AUX and MASTER knobs on the left side of the front
panel to 0.
2. On your guitar, select the loudest pickup.
If your guitar has a humbucking pickup, use it. Otherwise, try the pickup closest to the
bridge.
3. Turn your guitar’s volume and tone controls to max.
4. Strum your guitar as loudly as possible.
5. Slowly turn up the GUITAR input level.
Continue strumming loudly while turning up this knob (it’s a good time to have three
hands) until the CLIP light flashes just a little when your guitar is at its loudest.
6. Back off on the GUITAR input knob a notch so the clip never lights.
This will back off the level to prevent any undesirable clipping while you play. You
never want to consistently light up the clip light, since that will mess with your sound.
An occasional little flash every once in a while is OK.
7. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the AUX input if you’re going to use it.
