Roger, The AFX mode button on the K3/K3S turns the previously-selected 'AFX Mode' On and Off. You select the desired mode via the "MENU > AFX MD" option; NOTE: it's the 'MENU' and not 'CONFIG' option. You should see choices of: delay 1 through delay 5, and bin. These are described in the manual, but the delay modes provide a "pseudo stereo" acoustic image with the 'image width' proportional to the delay #. I think the 'bin' option reverses the phase on one channel with respect to the other, which changes the 'mono' image to a more 'out of head' image. To experiment in real-time, engage your AFX button, and then evoke the 'MENU > AFX MD' option and try the various settings as you listen to the band. It's probably obvious, but the best way to hear and make use of this functionality is by wearing headphones or to a lesser degree by sitting in the 'sweet spot' between your external Left and Right speakers.
