    Default to Per-preset layout at startup

    No, choosing presets does not load specific Layouts. As mentioned you can choose what Layout appears on turning on the device, but not as you change presets afterwards. You can however use Overrides on that preset’s foot switches to always load different things on a specific Layout.

    FM3 Edit Selecting Scene 1

    So just the foot switch stays on Scene 7? It’s because you changed to the View that shows Scene 7 and changing presets does not change to another View. Scene 7 isn’t Selected. you can see that on the main screen of the unit. Scene 1 is.. Your switches are just showing the Scene 7 switch. A...

    Programming Scenes

    ahh i missed it was AX8. you have 2 channels X and Y. so that's the "two amps". you can add a Filter block later in the chain set to the type of Null and increase the level for your boost. have it turn on and off in different scenes or with its own switch for a level boost. i like to also roll...

    Preset Ignore?

    presets are all separated. Scene Ignore works because the Scenes "know" what they have to work with. the next preset could have radically different blocks, routing, etc. and the ignore might break the next preset when it loads. the idea is say preset 1 delay is off currently, and when you go...

    FM3 Firmware Version 8.00 beta 1

    zoom mode (zoom out) on the grid is already a feature and the best way to see all block at once. it's small because there are 4 rows and many columns. a different unit with less blocks possible can represent the blocks bigger. i can't imagine looking at the screen to find text in some column...

    FM3 Firmware Version 8.00 beta 1

    from the Axe3 Release Notes: Added “Kill Dry” control to Delay, Multitap Delay, Pitch, Plex and Reverb blocks. When set to ON the dry signal is muted.

    Wish Is it possible Axe edit never rest on a bypassed block?

    the highlighted block is whatever position was last selected. i assume you mean after changing presets. it could be left on a block that in the next preset is bypassed. what if jumping to the next Engaged block is not the one you want? it's the same thing to me. you have to select the block...

    Adjusting Output Block Level

    all 4 amp channels could need different types of adjusting if they suddenly don't have the correct level during rehearsal. using the Output block would not solve this because level up for one amp could mean another is way too loud. that's why the Amp Level parameter appears in the Preset Level...

    [not possible] Okay, I'll say it... a second Amp block!

    with all the people sharing presets for Axe3 and FM9, the ones i see never use 2 amps at the same time and rarely have 2 amp blocks. of course the features of the higher end units are wished for in the lower priced units, but i'm not sure that's deterring a large amount of customers.

    Adjusting Output Block Level

    hmm, the current options allow you 1 or 2 dB, and your suggestion of 0.5 seems more "fine tuning" than that. how is the Scene Level not working out? and i agree that the Amp level is the best place to adjust presets and scenes for overall volume.
