Mixer

In the Output block

Each preset has an output mixer. The Axe-Fx III has an output mixer in every output block. The mixer controls the overall output level of the preset. Its setting can be different for each preset scene. The MIDI-controlled commands VOL INCR and VOL DECR adjust this level.

More information in the Owner's Manual.

As a separate block

The Axe-Fx II and III provide dedicated Mixer blocks, which can be used to route and adjust the signal on the grid.

More information in the Owner's Manual.

In the first column

A Mixer block in the first column on the grid of an Axe-Fx operates differently. Only Gain and Balance for the first row are functional, the other settings are ignored.

As a routing tool

Attach an external controller (switch) to the Mixer for routing purposes.

Example: operating the pedal or switch can enable one row (effect) and bypass another. This lets you use a single pedal to operate as a Wah (Wah block) or a Whammy (Pitch block). More examples.
