What is the Plex Delay

The Multi Delay block in the Axe-Fx II, AX8 and FX8 is split into the Multitap Delay, Ten-Tap Delay and Plex Delay blocks.

The Plex Delay block (Axe-Fx III exclusive) provides up to 8 delay lines in a feedback arrangement for ethereal “shimmer” effects. It provides these effect types:

  • Plex Delay — Delays
  • Plex Detune — Detuned delays
  • Plex Shift — Pitch-shifted delays
  • Plex Verb — Large, ethereal reverb sounds. This type is also simple to use with no time, tempo, level or pan parameters required. For best results turn the Diffusion Mix up when using this type.

More information in the Owner's Manual.

Camilo Velandia's demonstrates the Plex Delay
