AX5-Series EasyStart
The following procedures work for both the AX5G and AX5B effect pedals…

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 AX5 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.

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: To cancel this operation when the program value display reads “rL” press the Cancel button instead of the Write
button.
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!

The AX5 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.
1. Set the Function Selector knob to “PROGRAM”.
2. Using the program UP and DOWN Switches, you can now scroll through and audition all 80 programs.
Tip: To jump from bank to bank (as opposed to scrolling through each individual program), use the Cancel and Write
buttons.

Each of the AX5’s 80 programs can be modified to your liking. This includes chaining 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).

AX3-Series EasyStart
Note: The effect chart printed on the face of your AX5G and B 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.
Note: A list of effect parameters can be found in the aforementioned effect chart in the rear of the manual. This will be
very helpful in determining which parameter is being adjusted.
Tip: The Original Value Indicator (small dot in the lower right corner of the Program/Value Display) can be used to

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

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)

The AX5G’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 AX5’s output
to the input of a clean-sounding open back c ombo. Select “A2” if you connect the AX5’s output to the input of an open back
combo with stronger mid-range content. Select “A3” if you connect the AX5’s output into a sealed back cabinet such as an
amp stack. Select “Ln” if you connect the AX 5’s output into a line input such as a mixer, recorder, headphones or any other
full range monitoring source.
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.
press the Program Down (Type/Param) switch, it will display to the currently selected FX type/parameter.

The AX5’s expression pedal can be set to control volume, wah, and many effects parameter like the speed of the
tremolo or depth of a reverb. Assigning an effect parameter to the expression pedal using the quick assign
feature is easy:
1. First choose an effect type by turning the Function Selector to the appropriate effect section. Let’s choose Delay/REV.
2. Use the Write (“UP”) & Cancel (“DOWN”) Buttons to select an effect. In this case, let’s go with F4 (PP delay).
3. Turn the Function Knob clockwise one position to PARAM. Use the Write (“UP”) & Cancel (“DOWN”) Buttons to select “P2”
(Feedback).
Note: You should notice that the Program Down Switch led is blinking. This is the indication that you can assign this
particular parameter (Feedback) to the expression pedal. You can’t use the expression pedal to control a parameter
for which the Program Up or Program Down switches do not blink.
4. Hold down the Assign button for about 1 se cond. The display will read “CP”. You have now successfully assigned the Feedback of the PP
Delay to the expression pedal.
