The modes of the AX100G

The AX100G is divided into three modes: Program mode, Effect

Select mode, and Phrase Trainer mode.

Program mode

In this mode you can select programs and use the AX100G for normal performance.

Use the foot switches (UP, DOWN) to select programs. Immediately after the power is turned on, the AX100G will al- ways be in this mode. With the factory settings, the User pro- grams contain the same programs as the Preset programs.

Effect Select mode

In this mode you can use the foot switches UP or DOWN to switch the drive amp channel*1, Modulation effect or Ambience effect on/off.

Programs cannot be selected in this mode. Use Program mode to select programs.

*1 The AX100G provides two (A and B) Drive (distortion) Amp Effects so that you can switch between settings such as backing and solo without having to change programs.

Phrase Trainer mode

This mode allows you to record a phrase from a CD or MD con- nected to the AUX IN jack, and play it back as a repeated loop that you can practice along with.

Since you can slow down the playback speed without affecting the pitch, this is a convenient way to learn or practice difficult phrases.

When you enter Phrase Trainer mode, the Modulation, Pedal, and Ambience effects will be turned off automatically.

In Program mode and Effect Select mode, you can use the various knobs to edit the effect, adjust noise reduction, adjust the program level, and change the program name.

Installing the batteries

1.Lightly press on arrow A of the battery case, and slide the lid upward in the direction of the arrow to open the case.

2.Insert four AA alkaline batteries (sold separately) as shown in the diagram. Be careful to observe the correct polarity (+ and -) of the batteries.

3.Close the lid of the battery case.

If you will not be using the unit for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to prevent them from leaking.

When the multi-display blinks "BATTERY," it is time to replace the batteries. Please install new batteries as soon as possible.
