8 AxSys 212 User Manual
Stereo Line Out
If you want to connect the AxSysÕ output to another amp, or into a mixing
board, connect a stereo TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) cable to the HEADPHONE /
STEREO LINE OUT jack on the rear panel. This jack provides a stereo line
level output. If you want to use the STEREO LINE OUT without the internal
speakers playing as well, disconnect the speakers.
When you connect a cable to the HEADPHONE/STEREO LINE OUT jack , the
AxSys automatically enables its Speaker Emulator which simulates the frequency
response of the speakers and the cabinet. However, if you leave the AxSysÕ internal
speakers connected while using the HEADPHONE/ STEREO LINE OUT jack , the
speakers will sound noticeably darker.
TIP If you want to turn off the automatic Speaker Emulator when you
use the HEADPHONE/STEREO LINE OUT jack, hold down the Row
Select button labeled GRAPHIC EQ and TREMOLO/CAB while turning on
the amp (we chose that button because it corresponds to the
Cabinet parameters, which makes it easier to remember). The
display will temporarily flash HPn and OFF to indicate that the
Headphone Speaker Emulator has been temporarily disabled. To
enable it again, turn the amp on again without holding any buttons.

Powering Up

Once all connections are made, turn down the MASTER volume and power
up the AxSys 212 with the POWER switch located on the AxSys rear panel
over the power cord.
The display should look something like this:
P01
This means that Preset Sound Bank 01 is selected.
After power-up, the AxSys will recall the Sound that was selected before it
was last turned off. The display will indicate the current:
¥ Mode: Preset, User or Edited
¥ Sound Bank: 01 through 32
...and one of the four SOUND LEDs () will be lit to indicate the current:
¥ Sound: A, B, C or D
