The Crossover block is a simulation of an electronic crossover. A crossover splits the audio signal into frequency ranges, to be processed or amplified separately.

Tips and tricks

Bi-amping

Some bass/guitar players split their signal in highs and lows, and send them through different amplifiers. This can be accomplished with the Crossover block. The factory preset "Plexi Bi-Amp" (Axe-Fx series only) demonstrates this. Or check Leon Todd’s tutorial.

FM3

There's no Crossover block in the FM3. Filters can be used to achieve something similar. Check out the FM3 factory preset "Polyfuzz Crossover".

"The Flint Tremolo Done Right" thread discusses the use of the Crossover block to create a Flint simulation.
