What is a crossover

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, tricks and troubleshooting

No Global blocks

The Crossover block doesn't support Global blocks.

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 5 Minute Tones - Distorted Bass video tutorial.

FM3

There's no Crossover block in the FM3. Filters can be used to achieve something similar. Check out the [Factory presets|factory preset POLYFUZZ CROSSOVER]] on the FM3.

Flint tremolo
