AXE-FX MODE makes using the MFC-101 easier and more intuitive. Axe-Fx mode rides on top of PRESET, SONG, or

SET mode to provide a number of benefits when using the MFC-101 with an Axe-Fx II, Ultra, or Standard.

 Axe-Fx preset names are displayed dynamically as they load—no need for data entry or import!

 Instant Access Switch Axe-Fx Functions can be set simply by selecting from a list.

 Instant Access Switch LEDs show the effects in the current Axe-Fx preset when it is loaded:

GREEN: Present & Active; RED: Present & Bypassed

 The TAP TEMPO footswitch LED flashes the current Axe-Fx tempo.

 The TUNER footswitch displays the Axe-Fx tuner in the MFC-101 display.

 Preset footswitches can also send general use MIDI commands for controlling bigger rigs.

 Individual IA Switches can be set up with general use MIDI commands instead of Axe-Fx functions.
