AMP MODELS
You select the Amp Model you want to use on the AMP MODELS row (fourth from
the top). You Amp Model choices are covered in the Modeled Amps chapter of this
User Guide, and also listed in the Amp Models Option List ( ).
The thing to note here is that the Bass, Mid and Treble here are just duplicates of the
ones on the MAIN Row. We put them in both places for convenience. The Bright
Switch lets you switch in or out a fixed amount of high end boost, and the Amp Model
Out Level does just what it says – sets the output volume of the Amp Model into the
effects processing of the AX2. The Bright Switch, by the way, is only available for
those Amp Models that emulate guitar amplifiers that had bright switches. You can
refer to the Tweaky Stuff section of this User Guide for the details on that.
GRAPHIC EQ
A graphic EQ is a set of bandpass filters used for general tonal shaping. As the Signal
Flow diagram ( ) on your AX2 shows you, the Graphic EQ is applied to your signal
after the TubeTone amp processing, and before most other effects. You control the
Graphic EQ from its very own Edit Row, creatively named the GRAPHIC EQ Edit
Row (fifth row from the top). As the Edit Row shows you, the 6 bands in the Graphic
EQ of the AX2 are set at 80Hz, 240Hz, 750Hz, 2200Hz, and 6600Hz. Each of these
may be set between – 19 and +19 dB, to give you a cut or boost for that frequency.
WATCH YOUR LEVEL! - When setting your Graphic EQ, try cutting the bands you
want less of, rather than boosting the bands you want more of. This will give you the
same results, but without potentially clipping the EQ. If you do get clipping, turn
down the Amp Model Out Level, and things should be cool.
There is also a Presence control, for extra high frequency boosting (0-99). The
Presence is not available (shows “– – –” in the display) with these Amp Models:
2.1 & 2.2 Amp Models modeled after the Fender Champ & Tweed Deluxe
4.1 & 4.2 Modeled after the Fender Blackface Deluxe & Twin
