AX3-Series EasyStart
Note: The following procedures work for all 3 of the AX3-Series effect units!
Audio Connections and Tuning
1. With four AA batteries installed, or the optional adaptor connected to the Power Supply Input, connect your guitar/bass to the INPUT jack on the rear panel.
2. Set the Function Selector knob to “PROGRAM” and lower the MASTER output level of the AX3 using the Value Knob.
3. Connect your headphones, mixer, or amplifier to the OUTPUT jack on the rear panel; then use the Value Knob to raise the MASTER level, increasing the volume.
4. Tune up! Step on the Program Up and Down Switches simultaneously to activate Bypass mode; the auto-chromatic tuner will be active (if both switches are held for approx. 1 second, Mute mode will be activated). Pluck a string; the Program/Value Display will indicate the note name, and the Program Switch LEDs will indicate whether the note is sharp or flat. When both lights are lit simultaneously , the string is in tune.
5. Return to the previous mode by stepping on either of the Program switches.
Restoring the Factory Preset Programs
1. While holding down both Program UP and DOWN Switches and the CANCEL Button, connect the power adaptor (or if using batteries, power up by plugging a cable into the input jack). The Program/Value Display will indicate “rL” and the Program Switch LEDs will blink. Release the button and switches.
2. Press the WRITE Button once (“Ld” will display). The factory programs will be loaded into the user area (01~40). When loading is completed, the Program/Value Display will indicate “CP” briefly, and program number 01 will be recalled.
Note: If you reload the preset programs, all previously stored custom programs will be overwritten! Note: Never turn off the power while this operation is in progress!
Selecting and listening to the AX3’s Programs
The AX3 pedals provide 80 program locations; 8 banks with 10 programs in each (8x10=80). Programs 01 - 40 are User locations that can be customized and saved. Programs 41 - 80 are factory preset, and can be modified but cannot

be overwritten.
Tip: To jump from bank to bank (as opposed to scro lling t hrough each individual program), use the
Cancel and Write buttons.
Tweak the AX3’s Programs
Each of the AX3’s 80 programs can be modified to your liking. This includes chaning effects types as well as effect parameters.
1. Set the Function Selector knob to the effect type you wish to edit (i.e. PRE FX, DRIVE/AMP, MOD, DELAY/REV, etc.)
2. Use the Write (“UP”) & Cancel (“DOWN”) Buttons to scroll through the various effect choices. (Press UP & DOWN buttons simultaneously to turn FX type off).
Note: The effect chart printed on the face of your AX3 will be indispensable in locating and identifying the
various available effect choices. There is also a more detailed chart in the back of the included manual.
3. Use the Value Knob to adjust the FX’s main parameter.
4. To fine tune the sub-parameters (not applicable to LEVEL, NR, CAB, MIC & BODY, TONE, and NOTCH), set the Function Knob to the corresponding effect type “PARAM” position (the next position moving clockwise on the knob). Choose the desired parameter with the Write (“UP”) & Cancel (“DOWN”) Buttons and use the Value Knob to adjust the parameter value.

)
can be used to indicate the saved effect/ parameter settings of the currently selected program. Simply put, when the Original Value Indicator is lit, the previously saved effect/parameter setting has been selected.
1. Select MOD with the Function Knob.
2. Use the Write (“UP”) & Cancel (“DOWN”) Buttons to select “F2” (CL Flange). Then use the Value Knob to adjust the CL Flange effect’s Main parameter (SPEED).
3. Turn the Function Knob clockwise one position to PARAM. Use the Write (“UP”) & Cancel (“DOWN”) Buttons to select “P2” (DEPTH). Use the Value Knob to adjust the level of the DEPTH parameter.
Note: In this mode, if you press the Program Up (Value) switch , the current parameter value will be
displayed. If you press the Program Down (Type/Param) switch, it will display to the currently selected FX type/parameter.
Saving a Program
You’ve tweaked and turned some knobs, and you like the changes that you’ve made – now to save your program:
1. Set the Function Knob to the “WRITE” position, and press WRITE (“UP”) Button. A User program number will blink in the Program/Value Display.
2. Use the Program Up and Down Switches or Value Knob to select the destination program number (1 - 40)
3. Press the WRITE (“UP”) Button once again, and your program will be stored in the specified location (“CP” will display briefly indicating the process is complete).
Amp/Line Setting (AX3G only)
The AX3G’s output may be optimized to suit specific monitoring sources via the Amp/Line setting. Amp/Line settings can be made under the P5 parameter of the Drive/Amp (Note; the amp line setting is only applicable to Amp models {i.e. A0, A1, A2, A3, etc.} and will not be found on Drive models {i.e. D0, D1, D2, D3, etc.}). Select “A1” if you connect the AX3’s output to the input of a clean-sounding open back c ombo. Select “A2” if you connect the AX3’s output to the input of an open back combo with stronger mid-range content. Select “A3” if you connect the AX3’s output into a sealed back cabinet such as an amp stack. Select “Ln” if you connect the AX 3’s output into a line input such as a mixer, recorder, headphones or any other full range monitoring source.
