The handful you will use most, plus the gestures that are not printed on the chassis.
the one thing
Footswitches: none on the modeler—an MFC-101 connects over a network cable. Learn to store a preset first: changing preset with the edited indicator lit loses the edit, with no prompt.

Every control on the Axe-Fx II, and what each press, hold and turn does.

VALUE knob
The large central encoder—presets from the recall screen, values everywhere else.
- Turn, on the recall screen
- Selects a preset.
- Turn, while editing

store, or lose it
Changing anything lights an edited indicator. Change preset with that lit and your work is gone—there is no confirmation and no undo.
Press STORE before you change preset.
Save before you change preset. An unsaved edit is lost on the switch.
