A modifiable parameter can be assigned to a Control Switch (CS) instead of an internal or external controller. This applies to the AX8 and Axe-Fx III only. The CS can be controlled with a switch on the AX8 or FC controller.
 
 
 
This allows controlling a function like Input Boost in the Amp block directly with an onboard switch.
 
 
 
The state of the Control Switch is saved per scene.
 
 
 
'''AX8''' – The AX8 has two Control Switches, which can be assigned globally or per-preset like any other footswitch block from the main Footswitch (“FS”) page.
 
 
 
To set up a Control Switch footswitch:
 
# On the Footswitch (“FS”) page, use the NAV and A knobs to assign CS1 or CS2 to footswitch 1 – 8.
 
# Add a modifier to the desired effect parameter, setting “CTRL SW1” or "CTRL SW2” as the source.
 
# Adjust the modifier to work as desired.
 
 
 
To set initial values for a Control Switch:
 
# From the main FOOTSWITCH (“FS”) page of the AX8, page right to the CONFIG page.
 
# Select the CONTROLLERS option and press <ENTER>.
 
# Page to the CONTROL SWITCH (“CTRL SW”) page.
 
# Set the initial value of each switch for each scene to either “ON” or “OFF”.

'''Axe-Fx III''' – There are 6 Control Switches available.
 
 
 
The Control Switch can operate as a latching or momentary switch.
 
 
 
The state of a CS is stored per scene: On, Off, or LAST. "Last" (default) leaves the switch state unchanged when you change to a scene with this setting. The "per scene" settings can be accessed from the CS PER SCENE page in the Controllers menu.
 
 
 
Control Switches can be made part of a mutually exclusive group. This means that engaging one will bypass the others.
 
 
 
On the Axe-Fx III, Control Switches also let you transmit MIDI at will by pressing the switch, in conjunction with an FC-6 or FC-12. This doesn't depend on a preset change or scene change. Up to 4 MIDI commands (PC or CC) can be transmitted.
