version and the new edited version). If the original Sound resides in the
Preset Bank, you must store it somewhere in the User Bank (which means
you will be replacing an existing Sound with this edited Sound). It is a
good idea to go through all the Sounds in the user Bank and write down
which Sound memory locations you feel you can sacrifice for your own
edited Sounds.
If you edit a Sound and turn off the amp the AxSys retains its memory.
This means that if you edit a Sound and turn off the AxSys before storing
it, it will still be there when you turn it back on again.
Parameters
A parameter is the most basic element of a Sound. There are many
parameters that make up a Sound. The six most common are the Main
controls: Drive, Bass, Mid, Treble, Gain and Delay/Reverb.
Above the Control Knobs you will see a matrix listing the other 56
parameters that make up a Sound. These can be accessed by pressing any
of the Row Select buttons, found on the left side of the parameter matrix,
and changed using the six Control Knobs.
Several of the effects (such as Distortion Box, Delay, Tremolo/Chorus,
etc.) can be turned on and off from the bottom most Edit Row of the
Parameter Matrix (See FX On/Off on page 35). You can still edit an effectÕs
parameters while that effect is turned off, but the display will flash the
word OFF twice after you change a parameter to let you know itÕs off.

GUITAR AUX MASTER
CLIP CLIP
Three input controls are located in the lower left section of the front panel.
They are not programmable, which means their settings are not stored in
each Sound. In other words, you can Òset it and forget itÓ.
Guitar Input Level
This level should be set properly to avoid clipping, while providing the
best signal-to-noise ratio. Clipping occurs when the input signal becomes
too loud (or ÒhotÓ) and overdrives the input. When clipping occurs, the
