What is a crossover
The Crossover block is a simulation of an electronic crossover. A crossover splits the audio signal into frequency ranges, to be processed or amplified separately.

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.
Flint tremolo
This thread discusses the use of the Crossover block to create a Flint simulation.
