Main features ❑ Detailed and powerful modeling sounds delivered by Korg’s modeling technology. ❑ 58 types of modeling effect variation are built in, and you can use up to six different effects (including noise reduction) and volume pedal simultaneously. ❑ You can edit all of the parameters for each effect in the four effect categories (pre-effect, drive/amp, modulation, delay/reverb). ❑ Use these modeling effects to create your own sounds and store them in internal memory as one of 40 user programs. In addition, 40 more programs are provided as presets for immediate use. (p.54 “Preset program chart”) ❑ The AX5G provides an expression pedal that lets you control not only wah and volume but also many effect parameters, giving you enormous possibilities for live performance. ❑ The Quick Assign function lets you easily assign a parameter to the expression pedal with one touch. ❑ The delay sound is preserved when you switch between programs that have the same delay type and TIME parameter [P1] setting. Similarly, the reverb is preserved when switching between programs that have the same reverb type. ❑ A built-in auto chromatic tuner lets you tune while bypassed or muted.

Front and rear panel This section explains the switches and connectors on the AX5G’s front and rear panels.

1. Function selector The operation of the up/down buttons and value knob will depend on the mode that’s chosen by this selector. You’re in Program mode when this selector is at the [PROGRAM] position, Write mode when at the [WRITE] position, and Edit mode when at the [PRE FX]–[DELAY/REV-PARAM] positions.

If you’ve connected the AX5G to a guitar amp, set the master volume to 50(Maximum value).

3. Press the Program Up or Program Down switch to select a program. The program/value display shows the number of the program you selected.

Expression pedal Each program specifies the expression pedal’s control target (volume, wah, or an effect parameter). When you move the pedal up or down while performing, the sound of the program will change accordingly. By pressing the pedal setting switch, you can change the target controlled by the expression pedal. Each time you press the switch, the control target will change in the order of VOLUME ➜ WAH ➜ FX PARAM ➜ VOLUME ..., and the LED for the target being controlled will light or blink. VOLUME (LED=orange): The pedal will operate as a volume pedal. WAH (LED=red):

The pedal will operate as a wah pedal. In this case, [PRE FX] will be assigned as a pedal wah.

FX PARAM (LED=green): The pedal will control the effect parameter specified by that particular program. For a program that assigns the expression pedal’s control target as WAH or FX PARAM, advancing the pedal forward will turn off the effect being controlled by the pedal, and the expression pedal LED will change from lit to blinking. Once again advance the pedal forward, and the effect being controlled will turn on; the expression pedal LED will change from blinking to lit. If the expression pedal’s control target is VOLUME, the position of the volume pedal will control the volume of the selected program. In the case of WAH or FX PARAM, the sound of the program will not change until you actually operate the expression pedal after switching programs.

VOLUME PEDAL is available if the expression pedal’s control target is set to VOLUME.

Edit mode is when the function selector is in one of the [PRE FX]–[DELAY/REV PARAM] positions. You can change the effect type for each category ([PRE FX], [DRIVE/ AMP], [LEVEL/NR/CAB/PEDAL], [MOD], [DELAY/REV]), and edit the parameters to create your sound.

Selecting effects and adjusting the main parameters [PRE FX], [DRIVE/AMP], [MOD], [DELAY/REV] To select the effect you want to use in each of the categories [PRE FX], [DRIVE/AMP], [MOD], and [DELAY/REV], set the function selector to the appropriate position and use the [▲] or [▼] buttons. The program/value display will indicate a value of F0–F9 (in the case of DRIVE/ AMP, d0–d7 or A0–A7), and the LED in the upper part of the program down pedal will light (or blink), indicating that the effect type is being shown. The effect list printed on the panel tells you the effect type that is selected.

By turning the value knob you can adjust the main (most important) parameter for the currently selected effect. At this time, the program/ value display will indicate the value of the parameter, and the LED in the upper part of the program up pedal will light (or blink) to indicate that the parameter value is being displayed. To turn an effect on/off, press both the [▲] and [▼] buttons simultaneously. When an effect is on the effect type is shown, and when an effect is off ”. the display indicates “

Creating your sound (Edit mode) Signal flow

PRE FX DRIVE/AMP CABINET DELAY / REVERB MOD VOLUME PEDAL NR

When you select an effect, the AX5G automatically sets the parameters of that effect to their most effective values. In other words, you can create great sounds just by choosing an effect for each of the categories PRE FX, DRIVE/AMP, MOD, and DELAY/REV, without having to make detailed parameter settings. By adjusting the main parameters, you can tweak your sound to what you have in mind.

AX5G Owner’s manual Selecting and adjusting sub-parameters [PRE FX-PARAM], [DRIVE/AMP-PARAM], [MOD-PARAM], [DELAY/ REV-PARAM] Here’s how to edit the sub-parameters of the effect you’ve selected for each of the [PRE FX], [DRIVE/AMP], [MOD], and [DELAY/REV] categories. When you press the [▲] or [▼] buttons, the program/value display will indicate a value of P1–P5, and the LED in the upper part of the program down pedal will light (or blink) to indicate that the parameter type is being displayed. For the sub-parameters that correspond to P1–P5, refer to p.50 “Parameter List”.

Now you can use the value dial to edit the sound by adjusting the various sub-parameters. At this time, the program/value display will indicate the parameter value, and the LED in the upper part of the program up pedal will light to indicate that the parameter value is being displayed. If the effect is turned off, the program/value display will indicate “ ” when you set the function selector to a [PARAM] position for that category. If you want to edit the parameters of that effect, simultaneously press both the [▲] and [▼] buttons to turn the effect on.

■ Quick guide To select an effect and edit it to your taste, you should first adjust the main parameters, and then adjust sub-parameter P1. In most cases, you’ll be able to get the sound you want by adjusting these two parameters.

[LEVEL/NR/CAB/PEDAL] Set the function selector to this position when you want to adjust the program level, noise reduction, or cabinet modeling. Then press the [s] or [t] buttons to cycle the display through “ ”(program level), “ ” ”(cabinet), and “ ”, “ ”(Expression pedal (NR sensitivity), “ target range). Use the value knob to adjust each parameter. : Use the value knob to adjust the program level (0.0–10). A setting of 5.0 is the standard value. Some effect settings may cause clipping. If this occurs, lower the program level. : Adjust the noise reduction sensitivity (0.0–10) so that you don’t hear noise (hiss) when you’re not playing your guitar.

Depending on the guitar you’re using, notes may be cut off if you raise the noise reduction value excessively. Adjust this so notes ring out naturally.

: Select the type (C0–C9) of cabinet modeling. You can’t edit the cabinet model if the drive/amp model is off. In this ”. case, the LED will indicate “ Cabinet modeling is associated with the drive/amp model. It works only if the drive/amp model is turned on. When you change the drive/ amp model type, the most suitable cabinet model is selected automatically. Cabinet modeling is associated with the drive/amp model. It works only if the drive/amp model is turned on. When you change the drive/ amp model type, the most suitable model is selected automatically.

: Specify the value of the parameter when the expression pedal is fully returned toward yourself. : Specify the value of the parameter when the expression pedal is fully advanced away from yourself.

Effect/parameter type and parameter value display When you press the Program Down switch in Edit mode, the program/ value display will indicate the effect type or parameter type (F0–F9, d0– d7, A0–A7, P1–P5). When you press the Program Up switch, the program/value display will indicate the parameter value. This gives you a convenient way to check the current settings.

Expression pedal settings Make the program/value display show the effect parameter (F0–F9, d0– d7, A0–A7, P1–P5). Make sure that the LED of the program up pedal or program down pedal is blinking, and then hold down the pedal setting switch for about one second. You can’t use the expression pedal to control a parameter for which the program up pedal or program down pedal does not blink.

The program/value display will briefly indicate “ ”(Complete), and you’ll be able to use the expression pedal to control the effect parameter.

If the expression pedal’s control target is FX PARAM, changing the category of the effect controlled by the pedal will reset the pedal control target to the most useful parameter of the selected effect. (p.50 “Parameter List”) If you set the expression pedal’s control target to FX PARAM, the corresponding effect will automatically be turned On. If, in this state, you operate the pedal or press the pedal setting switch once to select VOLUME without editing the setting, the effect will automatically be turned Off again. However, if you did operate the pedal or edit the setting, the effect will remain On even if you press the pedal setting switch once again to select VOLUME as the target. If the expression pedal’s control target is WAH, you can turn the function select knob to [PRE FX] (the display will indicate “ ”) or [PRE FXPARAM] and edit the WAH parameters. When the expression pedal’s control target is WAH, changing the [PRE FX] effect type will switch the expression pedal’s control target to VOLUME.

Saving a program (Write mode) Here’s how to save (write) a sound that you’ve created. If you switch to a different program in Program mode or turn off the power without writing your settings into memory, the changes you made will be lost.

1. Set the function selector to [WRITE]. 2. Press the [▲(WRITE)] button. The program number will blink. 3. Use the value knob or the program up/down switches to select the program in which you want to save your settings.

4. Press the [▲(WRITE)] button once again. The program will be saved, and the program/value display will indicate “

”(Complete) briefly.

The newly saved program will overwrite (i.e., replace) the existing settings, so that the previous program in that location will be lost. If you decide not to save the new program, press the [CANCEL] button to cancel the operation.

Checking the values saved in a program (Original Value) In Edit mode, the original value LED in the program/value display indicates the parameter value that is saved in the program. When you use the knob or switches to modify the value of a parameter, the Original Value LED will light when that value matches the value that’s already been saved in the program (i.e., the original value).

The original value LED won’t light in Program mode.

Bypass and Mute Bypass (which turns off all effects including noise reduction) and Mute (which mutes the AX5Gs output) are convenient functions for use while you’re adjusting your guitar amp, tuning during a live performance, or switching guitars. Here’s how to use Bypass or Mute.

Bypassing the AX5G Simultaneously press the Program Up and Program Down switches; all effects will be bypassed. At this time, the program/value display will indicate “ ”.

Muting the AX5G Simultaneously press and hold down the Program Up and Program Down switches for about one second and the output will be muted. At this time, the program/value display will indicate “ ”. When bypassed or muted, the Auto Chromatic Tuner will be active. To cancel the bypass or mute function, press the Program Up or Program Down switch (this will not change the program). At this time the value knob will operate as the master volume.

AX5G Owner’s manual Adjusting the pedal sensitivity
