I've been thinking a lot about rig redundancy lately, and have a specific Axe FX 3 functionality question: can the Axe be configured to output a continuous tone from any output that will remain continuous through scene and preset changes?
The Radial SW8 switching unit would allow easily switching between the outputs of two Axe FX 3 units, with the option to do so automatically when it stops receiving a reference tone (i.e. when the primary unit fails). The Axe 3 is more than capable of making the right tone, and it'd be easy to configure a synth block tone output on a spare output for every preset/scene in a live set. Unfortunately, changing presets interrupts the tone briefly, which I believe would trigger the failover (haven't tested since I don't have the Radial at the moment).
Is there any way to configure a continuous tone for a use case like this that will be durable across preset/scene changes? It'd be amazing to have a way to make a pair of Axe 3s instantly auto-redundant without anyone even needing to hit a button to switch. Thanks!
