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

2. Using the program UP and DOWN Switches, you can now scroll through and audition all 80 programs.

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.
