What is it

The Multiplexer block (Mux) in the Axe-Fx III is a routing and switching (crossfading) tool. It allows on-the-fly switching between rows on the grid (as long as you have them connected), Inputs 1-4 (Input blocks on the grid aren't required) and USB. Or you can use its Bypass to switch between just two things.

No gap is heard when switching sources.

Only one input can be active at a time. For multiple inputs, use the Mixer block.

A modifier can be attached to the Input Select switch.
