■ Play mode
1. Let's play the AX1G
●Turn on the power
The AX1G does not have a power switch. The power
will be turned on when one of the following occurs.
• If you are using batteries, the power will be
turned on when you connect a mono phone
plug cable to the INPUT jack.
If you connect a stereo phone plug cable, the
power will not be turned on.
When the power is turned on, the AX1G will automatically be in Play mode.
The program selected at power-on will be the
program which had been selected when the
power was last turned off.
To maximize the battery life , disconnect the cable
from the INPUT jack when you are not using the
AX1G.
• If you are using the separately sold AC
adapter, the power will be turned on when y ou
connect the AC adapter to an AC outlet.
Before you turn off the power of the AX1G, turn
off the power of the other connected equipment.
●Adjusting the master level (overall volume)
The master level adjusts the final output v olume of the
AX1G. The master level setting is displayed in Play
mode in the lower right of the LCD.
• Use the VALUE [+] or [-] keys to adjust the
master level. If you continue holding a key,
the value will change rapidly.
Normally you will leave the master level at 30
(maximum). The output of the AX1G will be optimal when the master level is set at 30. If the output sound is distorted when the master level is
30 and you play with the AX1G bypassed, reduce the master level so that the sound does
not distort.

You can use the expression pedal to control volume,
wah, chorus effect, and delay time etc. in realtime.
Using the expression pedal, you can control 18 different MOD (modulation) type effects and 13 different AMB (ambiance) type effects. The volume can
also be controlled. You can select one of these for
use (refer to p.50 “Effect parameter list”).

SAMPL1: The recorded phrase will playback
when you press the pedal.
SAMPL2: The recorded phrase will playback
when you press the pedal, and will
playback in reverse when you return
the pedal.
SCRAT1: A scratch sound will playback when
you move the pedal. Pedal movement
alone will cause the scratch sound to
playback.
SCRAT2: A scratch sound will playback when you
move the pedal while playing your guitar. Pedal mo v ement alone will not produce playback.
The recorded sound will be cleared (erased)
when the program is changed, when the AX1G
is bypassed or muted, when the effect type is
changed or when the power is turned off.

●Calibrating (adjusting) the expression pedal
The operating range of the expression pedal can be
adjusted. If you find that the sensitivity of the expression pedal is not to your liking, you can perform this
adjustment so that the pedal operates ideally. You
should perform the adjustment described below if fully
advancing the pedal does not produce the maximum
effect, or conversely, if it is not possible to turn off the
effect fully.
When calibrating the pedal, use your hand to
operate the pedal. Accurate adjustment may
not be possible if you use your foot to operate
the pedal.
1 While simultaneously holding down the P A GE
[√] key and VALUE [-] key, turn on the power.
The LCD will indicate “PEDAL” f or approximately
one second, and then indicate “MIN”.
2 Slowly move the pedal back. When it stops,
take your hand off the pedal and press the
VALUE [+] key.
The LCD will change from “MIN” to “MAX”.
If you press the VALUE [-] key during the calibration operation, calibration will be halted. The
power-on display will appear, and you will be in
Play mode.

press slowly
3 Slowly move the pedal forward. When it stops,
take your hand off the pedal and press the
VALUE [+] key.
The LCD will display “COMPLT” for appro ximately
one second. Then the initial po wer-on screen will
appear, and you will be in Play mode.

press slowly
Play mode
LOOP1: The pedal will control the playback vol-
ume.
LOOP2: The pedal will control the length of the
loop. The loop will become shorter as you
return the pedal, and at the minimum
length the loop will not playback at all.
The recorded sound will be cleared (erased)
when the program is changed, when the AX1G
is bypassed or muted, when the effect type is
changed or when the power is turned off.
For SAMPL1/2, the recording time is 0.9 seconds for
hi-fi sound or 1.8 seconds for lo-fi sound. F or LOOP1/
2, the recording time is 0.26–1.8 seconds (in approximately 0.05 second steps). (☞ p.50, “Effect parameters”)
The effect type and recording time can be modified in
Edit mode. For details refer to p .15, “PEDAL (Expression Pedal)”.
After the calibration has been set, check the operation of the pedal at the MIN and MAX positions.
Check the operation by selecting an effect type
that has a clearly audible result, such as the effect type VOLUME, and verify that the MIN level
is produced for a value of 0.
If the calibration operation fails, the LCD will
indicate “ERROR”, and you will return to the
display before calibration (“MIN”). If repeated
attempts are unsuccessful, it is possible that
the AX1G has malfunctioned. Contact a Korg
service center or your dealer.
