Mixer instances: preset and block output

Each preset has an output section which 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. The commands Vol Incr and Vol Decr adjust this level.

There's also a separate Mixer effect block on the Axe-Fx II.

Mixer block 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 other settings are ignored.

Mixer 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
