6 AxSys 212 User Manual
CHAPTER 2: THE GUIDED TOUR

Overview

This chapter is meant to provide a detailed guide in the setup and use of
the AxSys 212 Digital Guitar System.
Important Things To Know
There are two very important things you will learn about in this chapter:
¥Setting input levels. This is something uncommon with analog guitar
amplifiers. However, achieving the best possible tone relies heavily on
input level settings. See page 9 for more information.
¥Control Knobs. These are used to tweak your sound. Because the
AxSys 212 is programmable, itÕs common to recall a Sound which has
its Drive, Bass, Mid, etc., set differently than where the Control Knobs
are positioned. Instead of turning a knob and having it immediately
alter a setting, the Control Knob must first ÒcaptureÓ the ControlÕs
stored setting before it will change the setting. This may be surprising
at first, but there is a very good reason for it. See page 13 for more
information.

Unpacking

Along with this User Guide and your AxSys 212, you should find a
registration card, a warranty information sheet, a Preset Sounds chart, and
a power cable.
Registration Card
Please take time to fill this out and return it right now. This ensures that
you will be notified of all software and hardware upgrades and new
products as they become available.

Power Hookup

The AxSys works with the voltage of the country it is shipped to, and
comes with a line cord suitable for the destination to which the amp is
shipped.
With the AxSys off, plug the power cord into the AxSysÕ rear panel POWER
socket and into a source of AC power. ItÕs good practice to not turn on the
AxSys until all other cables are connected.
Line 6 cannot be responsible for problems caused by using the AxSys or any
associated equipment with improper AC wiring.
