Checking the effect blocks used by a program

Not every program uses all of the effect blocks. When you select a program, the effect block LED of each effect block that is used will light. The LEDs of effect blocks that are unused will be dark.

Bypass and mute

Bypass

If you press and hold the program switch of the currently selected program for 0.5 seconds, all effects will be bypassed. At this time, the program LED will blink, and the name display will indicate “BYPASS” for one second.

To defeat bypass, press the program switch whose LED is blinking, or press any other program switch.

Mute

If you press and hold the program switch of the currently selected program for one second and the sound of your guitar will be muted. At this time, the program LED will blink more rapidly, and the name display will indicate “MUTE” for one second.

To defeat mute, press the program switch whose LED is blinking, or press any other program switch.

Auto tuner

When the AX1000G is in bypass or mute condition, the tuner will operate automatically. If you mute the AX1000G you will be able to tune your instrument without producing sound. This is used for on stage tuning.

Changing the calibration setting

As necessary, you can adjust the calibration (the frequency of the standard A pitch) in the range of 438—445 Hz. (440 Hz is “standard”)

When the tuner is operating, use the MASTER/VALUE switches (, ) to adjust the setting. The calibration setting will appear in the MASTER/VALUE display.

When the power is turned off, the calibration setting you modify will be lost, and will automatically return to 440 Hz the next time the power is turned on.

Metronome

1.When you simultaneously press the RENAME and EXIT switches, the metronome will start. (The metronome icon will blink.)

2.Use value knob 4 to adjust the tempo (range 40— 208: shown in the MASTER/VALUE display).

3.Use value knob 5 to adjust the volume of the metronome sound (range 0—30: shown in the MASTER/VALUE display).

4.While the metronome is operating, simultaneously press the RENAME and EXIT switches to stop the metronome.

2. Playing the AX1000G

1.Tune your guitar approxi- mately so that the desired note name appears in the bank number display. The decimal point “.” at the lower right of the bank number display will light to indicate a sharp #.

If you switch programs or edit while the metronome is operating, it will no longer be possible to adjust the tempo or level. To re-adjust the tempo or level, you must first stop the metronome, and then start it once again.

2.Fine-tune your guitar so that only the center of the five value LED’s is lit (or so that only the center of the name display is shown).

Correct tuning

When the AX1000G is bypassed or muted, it will not be possible to adjust the tempo or level.

Expression pedal

You can use the expression pedal for realtime control of eleven types of effects in the pedal effect block.

If the program uses an effect in the pedal effect block, the pedal effect block LED will light. For the Hold Delay, Tap Tempo Delay, and Sample & Play pedal effects, the operation is different than for other effects (refer to p.21).
