MGR/Anonymous « Korg AX100G »
Published on 07/31/01 at 15:00i paid $150 for this multi-effects processor at a sam ash music store near my house. i bought it because i needed something to compliment the new guitar i had bought. i figured i would save some money and still get value by going with korg.
when i first purchased it i enjoyed the wide range of amp models. i also enjoyed the edit function, sample mode, and expression pedal.
all the amp models and effects have a weird echo noise that comes out of the amp...the effects sound muffled in a way, and you are forced to turn up your volume to compete with it. while there are numerous effects that can be useful, many are pointless. ringman serves no function at all, and many of the amp models sound very similar. the manual is also very complicated, and the edit function takes a long looong time to perfect. switching between effects also becomes a problem when going from clean to distortion, and volume controls become a hassle while some distortions are softer than others, and some cleans are louder than others.
its made of some sort of plastic, it seems to be durable but who knows? i would have been much more comfortable with a metal, so i dont feel like im gonna break it when i use it.
bottom line, buy a single pedal that does what you want or go with a top name like BOSS for a multi-effects pedal. i definitely didnt find this pedal to be worth 200 dollars (unit price), and i would probably spend a max of 50 for it.
