Exporting or backing up global blocks

  • When backing up a preset with global blocks, you also always need to backup the System data too, to be able to restore the stored data.

Global blocks and modifier parameters and controller settings

  • Modifier settings are not saved within global blocks. The same goes for controllers settings. You can use Recall Effect on the Axe-Fx II in the Axe-Fx II to copy controller settings from one preset to another, or use the editor.

Global control of Bypass state

  • The state (On/Off) of a Global block is saved per preset. This means you can set Global Block #1 Off in one preset, and On in another.
  • If you want global control of the bypass state of an effect block, here's a solution:
    1. Attach the Bypass parameter of the effect block to an External controller.
    2. In the I/O menu, switch the External controller between 0% or 100% to change the effect's Bypass state. Or assign a switch on your foot controller to the MIDI CC of the External Controller to switch the block.
    3. This works with global and non-global blocks, and across all presets with the same effect block.

Preset noise gate and preset input level as global blocks

  • The Noise Gate in the GTE/IN menu, including the Level control on that page, can be linked to a global block.

Unlinking global blocks

  • You can unlink a global block in the following ways:
    • Within the global block menu.
    • By using STRIP ALL GLOBAL DATA in Utility.
    • By pressing Enter while in the Recall menu on the Axe-Fx II.
    • By using Axe-Edit or Fractal-Bot.
