Mixer block

The information on this page supplements the official manuals.

Mixer: supported by which products?

• Axe-Fx II: yes.
• AX8: no.
• FX8: no.

Mixer types: preset and block

The grid output block on the Axe-Fx II, AX8 and FX8 contains a mixer. It has a level control which controls the overall volume of the preset. Its setting can be different for each preset scene. Vol Incr and Vol Decr adjust this level.

There's also a dedicated Mixer effect block, which can be bypassed.

Mixer and X/Y switching

The Mixer block in the Axe-Fx II XL and XL+ supports X/Y switching.

Mixer in the first column

A Mixer block in the first column on the grid operates differently. Only Gain and Balance for the first row are functional, the others are ignored.

Using Mixer for routing

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).
