Auto Volume Attack
The Auto Volume effect automatically Òramps upÓ the signal level. It
simulates the ÒbowedÓ playing technique in which the volume is turned
down at the beginning of each note so that the attack portion of the signal
is not heard, and then the volume is gradually raised.
Parameter Range Description
Auto-Volume Off, 01-99 Adjusts the rate of the ramping of volume.
Preamp Controls
TubeTone technology is what makes the AxSys so versatile, and allows it
to accurately recreate the classic tone of a variety of guitar amps.

you to overdrive the tubes in a typical guitar amp. The AxSys simulates
this phenomenon with astounding accuracy for each of its Preamp Types.

passes through the Preamp EQ. Three parameters are available, including:
PREAMP BASS , PREAMP MIDDLE and PREAMP TREBLE .
