AX3000G EasyStart

Cable and Guitar Connections

1.Use audio cables to connect the L/MONO and R OUTPUT jacks to a mixer/recorder. For headphones, plug into the PHONES jack. When connecting to a mono device i.e. guitar amp, use the L/MONO output only.

2.After making audio output and AC connections, connect your guitar to the INPUT jack on the rear panel.

3.Raise the MASTER level to adjust the volume as you play.

Output Connection settings

The AX3000G offers a variety of different output connection settings. To ensure that you take full advantage of the AX3000G’s amazing tone, make the proper AMP/LINE setting. Note: The AMP/LINE settings include three different amp settings and one line setting.

1.For connection to headphones or powered monitors, press the AMP/LINE button, then use the /buttons or rotate VALUE KNOB 1 to select LINE.

2.For connection to a guitar amplifier, press the AMP/LINE button, then use the /buttons or rotate VALUE KNOB 1 to choose from three different types of guitar amps selections:

AP1: Choose this setting if you’re connected to a clean-sounding amp such as an open-backed US-manufactured combo amp.

AP2: Choose this setting if you’re connected to an amp with a distinctive sounding Mid-range such as a UK- manufactured open-back combo Amp.

AP3: Choose this setting if you’re connected to a stack with a closed-back 4 x12 cabinet(s).

Tuning

When you power-on the AX3000G and make the connection settings above, you’ll be in “Program Select” mode. You can then choose to tune your guitar in one of two ways:

To tune audibly:

1.Press and hold down the currently selected PROGRAM SELECT switch (1, 2, 3, or 4) for about half a second - all effects will be bypassed, and the PROGRAM LED will blink. The name display will indicate “BYPASS” for one second, and the Auto Chromatic Tuner will now be activated. Use either the LCD display or expression pedal led’s to tune your guitar.

2.When you’ve finished tuning, press the flashing PROGRAM SELECT switch to return to Program mode. (Note; pressing another PROGRAM SELECT switch will select a different program and return you to Program Mode.)

To activate Mute and tune silently:

1.Press and hold down the currently selected PROGRAM SELECT switch (1, 2, 3, or 4) for about 1.5 seconds; the output will be muted. The program LED will blink rapidly and the name display will show “MUTE” for one second. The Auto Chromatic Tuner will now be activated; use either the LCD display or expression pedal led’s to tune your guitar.

2.When you’ve finished tuning, press the flashing PROGRAM SELECT switch to return to Program mode. (Note; pressing another PROGRAM SELECT switch will select a different program and return you to Program Mode.)

Selecting and listening to the AX3000G’s Preset Programs

The AX3000G has 96 program locations in 24 banks, with 4 programs in each bank. The BANK UP/DOWN switches allow you to select a bank, the PROGRAM SELECT switches allow you choose one of four programs within a given bank.

Once you find a sound that you like, you can use the knobs and selectors in the amp/effects section to tweak your tone easily. Note: All of the AX3000G programs are rewritable.

To select a Program:

1.Make sure that the AX3000G is in PROGRAM SELECT mode (automatically selected on power-up).
