How are you using X and Y settings?

[Roland]

Background: Ultra user about to embark on configuring a II. I would search past threads, but "x y" is too short for search engine validation.

I'm wondering how to use the x and y settings. Ideas so far are:
1. To compare before and after sounds when tinkering with settings
2. Rhythm and solo
3. Setting for different guitars within the same patch

How do you use x and y?

I use amp X/Y like a channel switch but most of my use of X/Y is to run scenes.

 

[Si.]

I use it to switch amp settings on a solo scene.

 

[Adinfinitum]

I use it for adding boost and bright settings or for a quick change between "same amp, different gain settings"

 

[vinceh]

I use x for strat/tele's and y for lespaul's (a little less gain, little more bass roll-off)

 

[jlynnb1]

depends. sometimes for a totally different flavor of the same effect type. sometimes it's for slightly different settings of that effect.

I only use X/Y for amps - and its a psudo channel switch for low and high gain settings with different EQs/levels.

I should really use them for A/Bing before and after tweeked amp tones, but I havent dont that yet.

I only use it with scenes

How do you set up the Mfc to access X and Y

 

[symphx]

I attach a real simple few dollar pedal to the pedal switch in back, its just an old latch pedal I had, set it to toggle, somewhere in the axe menu.

 

[jlynnb1]

any switch on the mfc can control x/y. set it up like you would any IA switch
