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.
4.
Use the Value Knob to adjust the FX’s main parameter.
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:
Tip:
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.
The Original Value Indicator (small dot in the lower right corner of the Program/Value Display) 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.
Example (all AX5 models)
1.
2.
Select MOD with the Function Knob.
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.
3.
Use the Program Up and Down Switches or Value Knob to select the destination program number (1 - 40)
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 (AX5G only)
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 combo. 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 AX5’s output into a line input such as a mixer, recorder, headphones or any other
full range monitoring source.

Quick Assign - Assigning a specific effect parameter to the Expression Pedal
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.
2.
First choose an effect type by turning the Function Selector to the appropriate effect section. Let’s choose Delay/REV.
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 second. The display will read “CP”. You have now successfully assigned the Feedback of the PP
Delay to the expression pedal.
Assigning the Expression Pedal to Volume, Wah, or FX Param
To switch the expression pedal between control of Volume, Wah, or FX Param, just press the pedal setting switch (Assign
button) to scroll though the 3 choices: Volume, Wah, and FX PARAM.
Note:
Each time you press this button the control target will change in this order. Vol, Wah, FX PARAM.
The LED will light as follows:
Orange for Volume
Red for Wah
Green for FX PARAM
