Working It: EDITING & SAVING CHANNELS

store, press the COMPARE ( ) button, and now you can use the ( ) BANK UP/
DOWN and ( ) CHANNEL Select buttons to audition any of the channel
memories in the User bank. Once you find one you can live without, press COMPARE
again to get out of Compare mode, and then press the SAVE ( ) button to commit
your channel creation to memory at that spot.
NOT SAVING YOURSELF
Say you make some changes to a channel’s setup (so that E is showing again), and you
don’t save before changing to another channel – what happens? The setup is forgotten.
So, the moral of the story is, if you really like it and want to have it again later, you’d
better save it.
You’ll notice, by the way, that any time you save a sound, you have to save it to a User
channel location, and not a Preset one. That’s because the Presets are ‘hard-wired’
permanent memories, designed as a standard tone reference that’s always handy at
your fingertips. The User memories, on the other hand, are the re-writable part of the
AX2 memory, where you can store the sounds you create.
By the way, just ‘cause you're turning your AX2 off doesn’t mean it loses an edit that
you might be in the middle of. If you edit a Channel and then pull the plug, the AX2
will remember what was happening before the power went down, even if you don't.
Keeps you from having to save every time you’ve got to interrupt the important work
of guitar playing with some unimportant work like a job or school.
In review: once a Channel has been edited, remember:
1 An “edited” Channel differs from its original, “saved” version.
2 If a new Channel is selected before storing the edits you’ve been making,
the edits will be lost.
3 Saving a Channel into a User location means you can recall it later.
