What is ?
(Resonant structure and Electronic circuit Modeling System) is KORG's proprietary
sound modeling technology which precisely reproduces the complex character and nature of
both acoustic and electric instruments as well as electronic circuits in real world environments.
emulates a wide variety of sound generation characteristics including instrument
bodies, speakers & cabinets, acoustic fields, microphones, vacuum tubes, transistors, etc.
MODELING AND THE AX1000G
Most of the models in the AX1000G closely replicate the sounds produced by classic effects,
speaker cabinets and amplifiers. While we have chosen not to include the specific names of the
companies and their products, you will quickly recognize them if you are familiar with the
originals. If you aren’t, you will still thoroughly enjoy the sounds the AX1000G produces. In either
case, you will be amazed at the quality and variety of effects offered as well as the easy to navigate
user interface.
Printing conventions in this manual
marks a point of caution.

The modes of the AX1000G
The AX1000G has three modes: Play mode, Individual mode, and Phrase Trainer mode.
Play mode is the mode in which you can select a program and play it. You can select from a total
of 80 programs that use high-quality effect models: 40 preset programs, and 40 user programs that
allow you to freely edit the settings to create your very own sounds. When the power is first
turned on, you will always be in this mode.
With the factory settings, the user programs contain the same data as the preset programs.
Individual mode is a mode in which you can use the foot switches (the program switches and
pedal switch) to individually turn each effect block on/off as you play. It is not possible to switch
programs in this mode. Use Play mode to select a programs.
Phrase Trainer mode is a mode in which you can record a phrase from a CD or MD player
connected to the AUX IN jack, and play it back as a loop. You can practice by playing along with
the repeating loop. Since you can fix the pitch and slow down the playback speed, this is conve-
nient for learning or practicing phrases that you have difficulty discerning.
When you enter this mode, the MODULATION, PEDAL, and AMBIENCE effect blocks will
automatically be turned off.

sound will change correspondingly.
If Volume is selected in the PEDAL effect block, it will not
be possible to turn the expression pedal on/off. It will
remain on (the pedal LED will be lit).
The on/off status of the expression pedal is not
memorized by each program.
Do not apply excessive force to the expression pedal.
Before operating the expression pedal, verify the amount
of force that is required to make the pedal LED light and
to apply the effect.
Individual mode
In this mode you can press the program switches or
the pedal switch to turn each individual effect block
on/off while you play.
As in Play mode, you can edit the settings, use the
metronome, and write a program.
In this mode it is not possible to switch programs or to
select bypass or mute.
Entering Individual mode
In Play mode press and hold the Bank switch for one
second, and you will enter Individual mode. The name
display will indicate “-INDIV-,” and the bank number
display will indicate “ .”
When you enter Individual mode, the program LED’s
will indicate the on/off status of each effect block
(synchronized with the effect block LED’s).
DRIVE-AMP corresponds to program switch (LED) 1,
CABINET to 2, MODULATION to 3, AMBIENCE to
4, and PEDAL to the expression pedal (pedal LED).
Each time you press a program switch, it will cycle on

Editing effects
Rotate the effect select knob of the effect block that you
wish to edit, or press the corresponding effect block
select switch. The effect block LED will begin blinking,
indicating that it has been selected for editing.
Use the effect select knob, effect block select switch,
and value knobs to edit the settings.
If you wish to save the edited effect, perform the
“Program write” operation. If you fail to do this, the effect
program will revert to its original settings when you turn
off the power or select a different program.
As an example, we will explain how to edit the TUBE
OD (Tube Overdrive) effect of the DRIVE-AMP block.
1. If the name display indicated “TUBE OD” when
you pressed the effect block select switch, simply
continue. If not, turn the DRIVE-AMP effect select
knob to the TUBE OD position. If the effect select
knob was already located at TUBE OD, first select a
different effect model, and then turn the knob back
to TUBE OD.
2. The effect block LED will begin blinking, indicating
that it has been selected for editing. (The name
display will indicate the model name as “TUBE
OD.”) If you selected a programmed effect, the
ORIG icon will light.
3. The five value LED’s will light, and the corresponding value knobs will be assigned to DRIVE,
LEVEL, TREBLE, MIDDLE, and BASS respectively, and will function as knobs that adjust the
value of each parameter. (Refer to p.16, “Effect
parameters.”)
4. Rotate the knobs and the sound will change. The
name display will indicate the name of the
parameter assigned to that knob, and the MASTER/VALUE display will indicate the value. At this
time, the ORIG icon will light when the position of
the knob matches the original value — i.e., the
value before you began editing.

If you do not wish to use the DRIVE-AMP effect block,
press the DRIVE-AMP effect block select switch until
the LED goes dark. The DRIVE-AMP effect block is
now bypassed, and the name display will indicate “OFF-.”
For some effects, it is not possible to simultaneously use
the MODULATION and PEDAL effect blocks, or the
PEDAL and AMBIENCE effect blocks. If you attempt to
turn on both effect blocks in such a combination, the
block that had been turned on will automatically be
turned off.
Quick Editing for the DRIVE-AMP effect block
In the default state of each mode, the DRIVE-AMP
effect block parameters used by the selected program
are assigned to the value knobs (except when the effect
is off).
By rotating the respective value knobs, you will enter
Edit mode (the effect block LED will blink); the name
display will indicate the parameter name, the MASTER/VALUE display will show the value, and the
sound will change.
If you wish to change an effect that is in use, use the
effect select knobs to select the desired effect.
It is not possible to edit when other functions are
assigned to the value knobs, when the AX1000G is
bypassed, muted, or recording in Phrase Trainer mode.

Noise reduction
Instead of value knobs 1 and 2, you can also use the
cursor switches to select a parameter and use the
MASTER/VALUE switches (▲,▼) to adjust the value
of the parameter.
It is not possible to turn noise reduction off.
Depending on the guitar that you use, raising the noise
reduction setting too high may cause the sound to be cut
off at low levels.
The volume of each program will change depending on
the guitar that you use. Adjust the program level for your
guitar.
If you wish to save the noise reduction and program level
settings that you edited, you must perform the “Program

Adjusting the expression pedal
(Calibration)
If you find the expression pedal difficult to use,
perform this procedure so that the pedal will function
optimally. For example if the effect does not reach
maximum when the pedal is advanced all the way, or
does not reach minimum when the pedal is returned
all the way, use the following procedure to make the
appropriate adjustments.
When making adjustments, use your hand to move the
pedal. Accurate calibration may not be possible if you use
your foot to operate the pedal.
1. Turn on the power while simultaneously holding
down the EXIT switch and the PEDAL effect block
select switch.The name display will show “PEDAL”
for approximately one second, and will then
indicate “MIN.”
2. Slowly return the pedal to the full back position.
When it stops, release your hand and press the
WRITE key.The name display will change from
“MIN” to “MAX.”
If you decide to halt the adjustment procedure, press the
EXIT switch. The power-on display will appear, and you
will enter Play mode.
3. Slowly advance the pedal. When it stops, release
your hand and press the WRITE key.
Restoring the user programs to
the factory settings (Reload)
1. Turn on the power while simultaneously holding
down the EXIT switch and the bank switch. The
name display will indicate “RELOAD?”
If you press the EXIT switch, the reload operation will not
occur; the power-on display will appear, and you will
enter Play mode.
2. Press the WRITE switch. The name display will
change to “RELOAD,” and the reload operation
will begin. When the reload operation is completed,
the display will indicate “COMPLT” for approximately one second. Then the power-on display will
appear, and you will enter Play mode.
Never turn off the power during the reload operation.
When you perform the reload operation, all user
programs will be rewritten. Master level, metronome, and
input level settings will also be initialized.
2. Press slowly
The LCD display will indicate “COMPLT” for
approximately one second. Then the power-on display
will appear, and you will enter Play mode.
After the adjustment procedure has been completed,
verify the operation of the pedal.
Select an effect that will make it easy to verify the
adjustment. For example, set the pedal effect block to
the VOLUME effect, set the value to 0, and check the
MIN level when the pedal is returned all the way.
If you make a mistake during the calibration procedure,
the LCD will indicate “ERROR,” and you will return to the
screen before the adjustment (the “MIN” display). If the
“ERROR” display appears for repeated attempts, a
malfunction may have occurred. In this case, please
contact your dealer.

REVERSE to x1—x8, returning the pedal will cause the
sound to playback in reverse at the specified speed. If
you set REVERSE to OFF, the sound will only playback
forward. With a setting of LP1 or LP2, advancing the
pedal will playback the sound as a repeating loop. When
you return the pedal and then advance the pedal again,
playback will begin from the beginning.
Recording will not begin unless you play your guitar
louder than the threshold.
The recording sound will be erased when you enter
