Ok, I just got my Axe FX II today. Thanks for all your responses! I just want to verify what "Reset ALL paramerts" means. I got this from the wiki page, is this what I should do, exactly as it is listed?
Follow these instructions to "clean" the hardware and restore its initial state.
Axe-Fx II Mark I/II:
- Delete all presets: Download the "empty bank" sysex file. Launch Fractal-Bot, load the file and send it. The Bot will ask to which bank it should send the file. Just select one bank and repeat it for the other ones.
- The system data area of the Axe-Fx II contains all user cabs, configuration information and global blocks data. Cleaning it will delete it all. This is accomplished by downloading the clean system data file (see below). Launch Fractal-Bot, load the file and send it. The Bot will display a warning. Confirm, wait and it's done. Now restart the Axe-Fx II! After powering up all parameters in I/O, Global etc. will be reset to their default values, user cabs 1-50 will be empty and global blocks data is gone. Note that this method does not clear user cab slots 51-100.
- Download clean system data file for firmware 11 and later.
- Uploading the clean system file does not clear user cabs 51-100. This has to be done separately. Download the file listed below. Launch Fractal-Bot, load the file and send it. The Bot will ask to which slot it should send the empty IR. Type "51" (or Current if you have selected the cab slot on the unit itself) and send it. You have to repeat it for every slot. Note that when you select an user cab slot on the Axe-Fx after sending the empty IR to it, the Axe-Fx will still display the user cab name afterwards. You have to restart the Axe-Fx II to make the names disappear.
- Download the "empty cab" sysex file
- Then load the factory presets again.
