Essential App Concepts

This section outlines several key concepts that will help you understand how the OX app
interacts with the OX hardware so you can get the most benefit from your OX system.
Similarly, reviewing the
recommended to help you get the most from the app.
OX's Remote Control
The OX app is simply a wireless remote control interface to the completely self-contained
OX hardware unit. The app literally has no controls or settings of its own — EVERY
control and setting you see in the app is an exact mirror of OX's current internal state.
The app controls OX's digital functions. The app cannot control or store OX's SPEAKER
VOLUME knob value because the reactive load and attenuation circuitry is pure analog.
Note: OX signal processing — Dynamic Speaker/Room Modeling, mic mixing, EQ,
master effects, and everything else — is performed in the OX hardware, not the app.
Everything Is Stored In OX
All OX data is stored within the OX hardware. Stored data includes all user Rig presets,
Rig Sets, effect presets, assignments, networking, and system settings. OX data is not
stored within the OX app or the Mac/iPad file system.
Tip: The OX app can be safely deleted — or all Mac/iPad data removed (via reformat,
reset, etc.) — and user data will remain intact in the OX hardware.
Current State Is Retained
When OX is powered off, the current state of all OX settings and data is retained. When
OX is powered on again, OX will be in the same state as when it was powered off. This
includes all Wi-Fi networking and system settings, as well as RIG knob assignments.
This feature allows you to set OX the way you want with the app, and OX will sound the
same later without the app, even if OX was powered down.
For example, you can assign your favorite Rigs to the RIG knob, and access those Rigs
later — even if you power off OX and/or don't have the OX app with you.
Tip: If a Rig was modified but not yet saved when OX is powered off then on again,
the Rig LED is amber, indicating the Rig is still in the same modified state that it
was in before powering off.
Accessing Factory Rigs
OX includes 100 carefully-crafted factory Rig presets for instant album-quality guitar
tones. The factory Rigs can be used as-is, or as starting points when creating custom
Rigs. Factory Rig presets are loaded in the same way as user Rig presets.
