Korg AX3000G ToneWorks Multi Effects Processor Pedal

Korg's legendary REMS technology delivers new amp, cabinet and effects models
The Korg AX3000G packs 72 types of amp models and effect sounds delivered by Korg's world-acclaimed "REMS" modeling technology. In addition to true-to-life reproductions of a wide array of vintage and modern guitar amps and cabinets, REMS also provides standard effects such as chorus, delay and reverb, all in gorgeous detail. These guitar effects transcend the stereotypical concept of effects, and open up completely new vistas of sound for the electric guitar.

There are synth effects that model a guitar synthesizer available on the Korg AX3000G, along with completely new effects such as the Filtron that goes far beyond the conventional auto-wah. You can use the Acoustic effect to transform the sound of your electric guitar into that of an electro-acoustic, or the Pickup Modeling effect to transform the tonal character of your pickups without switching guitars. The AX3000G also provides send/return jacks that make it easy for you to connect your favorite effect unit. There is even a digital output (S/P DIF optical) jack so you can digitally record your playing without losing any of the amazing sound produced by REMS.

Expression pedal and control switch for even greater expressive power
In addition to using the AX3000G's expression pedal in standard ways, such as to control volume or wah, you can freely assign the pedal to a variety of effect parameters for unrivaled expressive control. For example, if you assign the "MANUAL" parameter of a flanger to the pedal, you can use the pedal to control the sweep, creating a highly distinctive sound. On the other hand, by assigning the pedal to control the delay time of the "ECHO PLUS" effect (which models the sound of a tape echo), you can use the pedal to control delay time. There is virtually no limit to the new sounds you can create using the expression pedal on this powerful guitar effects processor. The pedal can also control the reverberation time of a reverb effect, the modulation speed of a chorus, flanger, or phaser, and much more!

The AX3000G also provides a control switch that can be a great asset during a live performance. For example, you can use it to switch each effect block (such as the pre-effect and insert effect) on or off, to set effect parameters such as the tap tempo of a delay in real time, to switch the speed of a rotary speaker effect, or to control the Expression Step Sequencer (ESS). The possibilities are endless!

Expression Step Sequencer for a new realm of control
The Expression Step Sequencer (ESS) automatically controls most effect parameters in a fixed or random step function. You can assign up to eight steps of guitar effect parameter values in the step sequencer, and specify one of seven ways in which the sequencer will play back these steps: Forward, Backward, Alternate 1/2, Random, Forward (one-shot), and Alternate 1/2 (one-shot). This lets you create sounds with complex movements that were unachievable in a guitar effects processor until now.

For example, use the ESS with a pitch shifter effect to specify the pitch shift amount of each step and produce sounds that are reminiscent of a synthesizer's arpeggiator. You can also use the ESS with a wah effect and create wah sounds that move in stepwise fashion. Of course, there is also a Smooth setting that lets you produce a continuous change between steps. Feel free to vary the ESS speed in real time with the ESS expression pedal or a control switch, while eight large-diameter LEDs give you a clear visual indication of the total number of steps in the sequence as well as the location of the step that is currently in use.
