Foot Control: EFFECT ON/OFF MODE
8•6
DRIVE/BOOST
Depending on when you buy your Floor Board, you may find that the Drive/Boost
switch is just labeled Drive
instead. What gives? Well, on the AX2’s predecessor, the
AxSys 212, this switch just turned the Drive on and off. Seemed like a good idea at
the time, but after a while, a number of our AxSys 212 users pointed out that it sure
would be better if it added some Drive to give their signal a boost instead of just taking
all the Drive away. Quick to recognize a good idea when it comes along, we jumped on
that suggestion when it came time to craft the AX2 – and here it is. The idea is that
you can use this for a “lead boost” when you want to get a bit of extra edge and jump
out over the band, or a “rhythm cut” when you want to drop your volume back a bit –
like when you switch from lead to rhythm parts. With Drive/Boost off, you’re getting
the regular, no boost, Drive setup. Kick in Drive/Boost, and you’re getting extra,
boosted Drive. By the way, this extra Drive boost is always available, even if you’ve
already got the Drive knob crammed up to max. Thus, finally, you can get everything
turned up louder than everything else.
EQ
The EQ on/off switch will switch the AX2’s Graphic EQ on and off.
TREM/CHORUS
The Trem/Chorus on/off switch lets you kick your tremolo and pitch mangling effects
(it says chorus, but it’s really chorus, flanger, phaser, vibrato, freq mod, or rotary
speaker) on and off. Light on, effect on Light off, effect off.
DELAY
The Delay on/off switch turns your Delay effects on – light on. Or off – light off.
REVERB
Bet you can guess this one already. Light on – reverb-o-rama. Light off – no stinkin’
reverb.
