How Do I…: SAVE A CHANNEL?

HOW DO I…
SAVE A CHANNEL?
Press SAVE once, and the display starts to flash. Press it a second time and you’ve
saved the current amp-and-effects setup to the chosen memory location. You didn't
choose a memory location? Well then, you'll save to either; a) the User bank
equivalent of the factory Preset patch you were working with (i.e. pressing SAVE from
P04C defaults to saving the edited channel to U04C), or b) you'll write over the User
bank location you were working on (i.e. U04C saves to U04C). You can save to a
different location by using the BANK UP/DOWN and CHANNEL A, B, C, D
buttons to select a location while the display is flashing before you press SAVE that
second time. If you decide that you don't want to save at all, you can bail out by
pressing any of the Row Select buttons (the six little unlabeled black buttons) before
you press Save the second time.
WARNING: ONCE YOU DO PRESS SAVE THE SECOND TIME, YOU'VE DONE IT, BUB.
THAT MEMORY LOCATION IS OVERWRITTEN WITH WHATEVER YOU JUST SAVED.
TURN AN EFFECT ON OR OFF?
You can either go to the Effects On/Off row and use the knobs to turn an effect on or
off, use the optional Floor Board foot controller (assuming you've got one, and if you
haven’t, why not?), or you can just select the Edit Row for the effect you’re concerned
with and adjust a knob to turn a level down or up. If you want to save that setup with
the effect off (presumably so you can then turn the effect on again in the middle of a
song and make the audience go ‘Wow, how did they do that?’), just turn it off from the
Floor Board or Effect On/Off row before saving the channel to memory. When you
turn on the effect, the AX2 will bring it back with the settings you had made for the
effect before turning it off (as opposed to some ‘blank’ effect setting).
