Is it normal that in a preset with Chorus Mix set to 3% if I change the chorus type the mix jump to 50% and stay there if i turn back to the original Chorus type?
The same with Phaser
(Quantum 8.2, Mark II, last Axe edit version)
 
That's normal. Many Chorus, Phaser, and Flanger pedals have their wet dry mix fixed at around 50%, so that's what's used most by default in the Axe II. The Delay and Reverb blocks on the other hand, preserve your Mix settings when changing effect types. For those, the wet signal is a separate layer in the sound so the Mix controls how much of that layer you hear. With Delay and Reverb, the wet signal sounds pretty much the same at any Mix setting. It's just louder or softer relative to the dry. With Chorus, Phaser, and Flanger on the other hand, the wet signal by itself sounds like pitch bend vibrato. It's only when it's mixed with the dry do you get the swirling or sweeping sound (unless feedback is used). Generally 50% mix (equal wet and dry levels) is what gives you the deepest effect.
