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 FM3 factory preset: Polyfuzz Crossover.
