You can also create new patches from scratch and give them your own idiosyncratic names.Īll this is well and good, but the AX1G’s main attraction is its sample-and-loop feature, which offers a range of powerful functions. What’s more, all the patches can easily be edited via bank of convenient buttons. The factory patches use as many as seven effects at one time, and many of them make good use of the rocker pedal for controlling effect depth, pitch/volume changes and wah sounds. Alongside Korg’s powerful distortions are some dynamic clean tones and surprisingly organic, gloopy-analog effects, like tremolo and chorusing. The AX1G serves up all the essential effects (including a number of great patches from other Korg products, including the Pandora processor) as well as several sounds not commonly found in other budget floor units, like ring modulation and a cabinet resonator for direct recording. Most notably, the AX1G has a large expression pedal-an impressive feature on a budget unit-that allows various parameters to be controlled in real time. Two footswitches let you scroll up and down through the patches, and a backlit LCD screen provides information on patches and edit parameters. The basis of the AX1G is a compact floor unit containing 69 effects organized into three banks of 30 editable patches. That may sound like a pretty hefty promise, but by combining a budget floor-effects unit with sample and looping features, Korg have a well-built virtual jamming budding that also offers exciting applications for studio and live performance. There are lots of good sounds in the thing.As bedroom woodshedders know, too much solo practice can make Johnny a pretty dull guitarist, while there are any number of muli-effects modules that can spice up your tone, Korg’s AX1G can actually improve your sound as well as inspire your chops and tighten your timing. Take a nice reverb and tube overdrive and tweak it waaaaaaay back. Don't laugh just go try one and don't get jaded by the overblown presets that come in the thing.

The internal drummer that it has is a bit hokey but I actually have fun with it when I m practicing. I have about 10 patches (5 clean and 5 dirty) and I love the thing. The programming is very simple and the tuner works well. I use it with my Pro Junior for reverbs, compression, trems, delays and I like the Tube Screamer OD's and the Vox style OD's.

I tried a RP50 and found it to be a great pedal. I have pedals on my real pedal board that cost $250 each. I resisted buying a Digitech RP50 because at a price of $59.00, I thought that it had to be a teeny bopper hunk of junk. I think that this is why MF.com is giving them away. The instructions that you get for editing are very scant and I found the thing to be harder to work with than a ZOOM pedal.

They have a book that is about 1/16' thick and it covers 5 languages.
