Check the Recovery steps on page 93 of the manual.

RECOVERY
PROBLEMS DURING/AFTER FIRMWARE UPDATE
The Axe-Fx III has a built-in recovery system known as the “Emergency Boot Loader” to protect you against
mishaps during firmware update. To boot from the emergency boot loader:
1. Power down the unit and wait five seconds.
2. Power on holding both PAGE LEFT and PAGE RIGHT buttons until the Emergency Utility page appears.
3. Update as normal using Fractal-Bot.

PROBLEMS WITH A SINGLE PRESET
If your Axe-Fx III will not boot normally, the problem may just be the current preset. You can force the unit to load
an empty initialized preset as follows:
4. Power down the unit and wait five seconds.
5. Power on holding HOME until the boot-up progress bar first appears.
The Axe-Fx III will boot with an empty initialized preset in location “000”. You can STORE this to any other location
to overwrite a problematic preset.

PROBLEMS WITH GLOBAL SETTINGS OR PARAMETERS
In the very unlikely event that a problematic system parameter prevents the Axe-Fx III from booting normally, you
may use the following procedure to recover:
1. Power down the unit and wait five seconds.
2. Power on holding EDIT until the boot-up progress bar first appears.
3. Enter SETUP, open the Utilities menu, and page to Reset.
4. Execute Reset System Parameters as indicated on-screen (Push-knob A followed by ENTER).
WARNING! Do NOT accidentally perform CLEAR ALL PRESETS!!!
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to execute. Press HOME when finished.
You can in fact hold both HOME and EDIT at once to reset the current preset and prevent the loading of
global settings and parameters.
