1.Press the WRITE button. The name display indicates “*WRITE*”, and the BANK display and PROGRAM LED’s 1–4 will flash.

3.Press the WRITE button once again. The program will be saved, the name display will indicate “COMPLETE,” and you’ll return to Program Select mode.

!The newly-saved program writes over the previous contents of that bank/program. If you decide not to store your new program, press the EXIT button to cancel the procedure. Note that if you switch to a different program or turn off the power without storing the Program you edited, your changes will be lost.

Individual Mode

In this mode, you can individually turn each effect type on or off just as if you were using a collection of stomp boxes. You can select INDIVIDUAL mode from any program.

4.To exit INDIVIDUAL mode, press the BANK UP switch, and the green LED will go dark (not lit).

Expression Target Quick Assign

Here you can easily assign many effect parameters of the AX3000G to its expression pedal for real time live control! For example, you can assign the speed of a modulation effect, time of a delay, or mix of the reverb to the expression pedal. And of course, the expression pedal can also act as a volume pedal or wah pedal effect.

As an example, let’s assign the Pitch parameter of the PITCH SHIFTER to the expression pedal:

1.Use the Modulation MODEL SELECTOR to choose the PITCH SHIFTER.

2.Rotate VALUE KNOB 1 or use the </> buttons to select the “PITCH” parameter. (PITCH” will be indicated in the LCD)

3.In this state, press and hold the EXP/CTL button for one second, the name display will indicate “COMPLETE”.

That’s it! The PITCH parameter has now been assigned to the expression pedal, letting you control the amount of PITCH SHIFT.
