AX5-Series EasyStart

The following procedures work for both the AX5G and AX5B effect pedals…

AAuuddiioo CCoonnnneeccttiioonnss aanndd TTuunniinngg

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.

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).
