How Do I…: CLEAN MY AX2?
9•4
MIDI
If you're one of those computer-enabled types, you can use MIDI to save and recall
AX2 setups that you or others have crafted. If you have a keyboard/sequencer that will
record MIDI System Exclusive information or a computer with a MIDI interface and
sequencing or MIDI librarian software, you can use the Transfer Sounds feature to
backup your AX2’s memory, with a choice of transferring an individual channel, the
edit buffer, or a bulk dump (all of the memory at once) over the MIDI connection. You
can even find some handy software utilities for this on the Line 6 Web site, at the
AxSys 212 or AX2 Patch Exchange. Now we’re not going to go into the intricacies of
getting your whole MIDI system set up here, but here’s the basics. Connect the MIDI
Out of the AX2 to the sequencer or computer. Tell the sequencer or librarian to
receive a Sysex dump. Select the Aux/MIDI Edit Row and use the Transfer Sounds
knob to select which sound or type of dump you want to save. Press SAVE. That's it.
See the Tweaky Stuff chapter for more details about the individual types of dump. To
restore the sounds to the AX2, you just send them back to the amp and it will
automatically recognize the type of dump and save the channels back to the places
they came from (in other words, if you dumped out channel U01C, dumping it back in
will put it back in channel U01C).
CLEAN MY AX2?
Disconnect the power cord, then use a damp cloth to clean the AX2’s metal and
plastic parts. For heavy dirt, use a non-abrasive household cleaner such as Formula 409
or Fantastik. DON’T SPRAY CLEANER DIRECTLY ONTO THE FRONT OF THE
AX2 AS IT MAY DAMAGE THE LUBRICANTS USED INSIDE THE SWITCHES
AND CONTROLS! Spray cleaner onto a cloth, then use the cloth to clean the AX2.
You may also want to consider purchasing a dust cover to keep the AX2 bright and
shiny for when guests come over.
