    Lots of good things, then, as in Jacques Martin I'll put 10.

    USE

    Usage is extremely simple, the combination of the footswitches, pushbuttons and potentiometers well placs makes extremely intuitive machine!

    Small bmols:
    -there is only one footswitch to change the effect bank, so to return prcdente the bank, you need a raliser dlicate maneuver with legs by pressing two footswitches both ... ce'st take a shot.

    -I RALIS after a year (!) That the expression pedal had a push button on / off the end of the race. I have taken time to see him because you have to push hard (all my body weight) ... but by removing a small rubber under the pedal has become more ais!

    -L'cran, Illegible in the sun and on stage when the lightings are red, but it is the lot of most multi-effects with display.

    -The Manual 3-4 pages is very clear.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The effects are very nice, varis, and some presets are the evocative name dmentiels, I think especially one that does not rebuke the sound of U2 but modlise with incredible efficiency the clear sound of Metallica.

    Distos are a bit soft compared to the Digitech and Boss distos, but I find warmest.

    The amp simulations are only simulations but to play directly to the headphone they perfectly fulfill their role.

    The pitch shifter is so so with a time of excessive latency.

    The loop programmer is a rgal for music crtion.

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    I've since its release, the era c'tait the best quality-price ratio.
    I like its simplicity and its quality-price ratio.

    Multi effects pedal guitar for large format, all digital, an expression pedal (not exceptional but can become familiar with the wah-type effects and volume), edited on the machine but not on the same computer. the shell is sturdy metal, and everything is powered by 9v supplied. Jack in, jack out, and roll youth!

    UTILIZATION

    The config is pretty simple, as on most multi effects. However it is difficult to move, live, from one program to another in time, kings of programming, or set that never changes, welcome! The programming buttons are small and can be difficult to engage for large fingers and not gifted, I think switching the tuner (which is not the most accurate in the world) …

The programming buttons are small and can be difficult to engage for large fingers and not gifted, I think switching the tuner (which is not the most accurate in the world) live it may actually be the sport!

    SOUND QUALITY

    Modulation effects as often in digital are quite successful, distos however are not really top and cabinet simulations. all spatial effects are quite well done. The wah is not terrible, and the few progressive volume. In short, a beautiful toy box to discover the world of effects, but to go further I prefer the personal effects chains.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for almost 10 years, it gave me when I bought my amp so I will not complain, but to where I am today I do not even would buy a multi effects (except type analog carl martin). I tried a bunch of multi effects and effects, when you give it, the value for money is always good :)

    Ultimately correct for beginners only, or possibly the player Room result.

    UTILIZATION

    Config simple manual very well done, but almost useless when you have a little taste of multis.
    Editing effects can not be simpler.

    I use it plugged into the effects loop of my mixer with preamp on each channel, power steering apmli then to a 2x12 cab hp "
    Used with an LP? a STRAT, a PRS, no problem, I have the sounds I want.
    Although the corrections made with the settings of the mix (equalize, mix gain effects, etc ...) are not bad on the final result.
    Directly into an amp, Mesa, Marshall, it's different, but nit-picking on the settings you reach Multi stuff not bad at all!

    Uh...well...If it were free it would be better. But other than that, there is nothing I don't like.

    Top quality.

    I couldn't function without it at this point. My studio has evolved around this unit.

    I purchased this from the Academy of Music in Brisbane, Australia for $499 (down from $699 because another store was selling them for that price). The main motivation behind the purchase was that I was becoming bored with the limitations of my Korg Toneworks AX1G which I'd had for three years, and I felt it was time to upgrade the rig.

    This unit offers a much greater tonal variety than what it's little brother offers, although I guess that's what you get for double the price.

    This unit offers a much greater tonal variety than what it's little brother offers, although I guess that's what you get for double the price. Most of the distortions have plenty of guts, the clean sounds are excellent, and the acoustic simulator, while not spectacular, does a near enough job. Where the distortions and clean sounds on the AX1G are thin and fizzy, the AX1500G's sounds are thick, strong and robust and depending on your use of EQ settings can offer a good tonal spread.

    The knobs and dials setup is much more user friendly than the push button style of the AX1G, and the LED screen is fairly easy to read, day or night, except when there's a light directly over the top of the unit. This however only becomes a problem when operating the tuner because the glare limits your ability to see what's showing on the screen. I've found I can overcome this by shadowing the unit with my foot.

    In addition, the expression pedal has plenty of weight to it, so it offers some resistance on the travel, unlike the AX1G, which is made of lightweight plastic and can be operated with your big toe.

    I've got to wonder if Korg will ever master a decent overdrive. One of the few similarities between the AX1G and its bigger brother is pathetic overdrive, unless it is used in exactly the right applications. If you're hoping the Tube OD on the AX1500G can deliver an early Malmsteen-like power crunch, you will be disappointed - that's something best left to the stronger distortions on the unit, such as the Classic Distortion or the British Stack.

    I have found, however, that when the drive is kept to 1 or 2, the Tube OD effect does a very good job of giving a little extra bite to a more-or-less clean sound (something in the style of Hank Marvin et al).

    A fault that I've read in other reviews of the AX1500G is the limited range on the expression pedal. I'm afraid I have to agree. This doesn't really bother me since I almost never use the expression pedal for anything except volume swells, and it does this well enough. There is someone on the net who operates a user-support forum website who has provided instructions for a modification to extend the travel of the pedal, and hence, improve the range on the pedal.

    The bank-down set-up is a bit ugly. To go down a bank necessitates hitting two buttons simultaneously, and it doesn't always come off as you'd like. The same guy who offers the mod for the expression pedal also has a mod for adding a button exclusively for the bank down action.

    To put it simply, solid as a rock. The thing is almost entirely hard metal casing, and packs about 2 kilos of weight. Once when I was in a bad mood and kicked the thing across the room, probably doing more damage to my toes than to the unit. I've read stories of people driving their cars over these things by accident and not doing a scrap of damage. I believe them.

    This is a top intermediate unit. The sounds available are far better than those offered by some of the smaller, cheaper units, but it comes at a far better price than similar offerings from competitors such Zoom, Boss or Digitech.

    Purchased at Guitar Center, purchased it because of the flexibility of the effects, and the quality of both the effects and the construction of the unit. Paid $299.99.

    This multi-effects pedal is an all-around great pedal. The construction is solid metal unlike the flimsy plastic BOSS ME-33, and the cosmetic appearance (as unimportant as that is in the long run) is far better as well, in my opinion. Having never owned an REAL amp, I can't give an educated opinion on the amp modeling characteristics, except to say that I can't complain about how it sounds.

Having never owned an REAL amp, I can't give an educated opinion on the amp modeling characteristics, except to say that I can't complain about how it sounds. The Vintage 4x12 cabinet is my favorite sound. The drive effects are somewhat satisfactory for me, but only in terms of the overdrive effect. It has a nice warm but still crunchy overdrive. The distortion effect doesn't really have a "mellow" option on it. It's either very distorted, or it's off. Maybe that has something to do with my Nashville Power Tele (hot-rod pickups), and that's my guess. I ended up buying a BOSS CS-3 compression pedal, because although the Korg pedal has a compression effect in the drive slot, you have to choose between that OR one of the OD/DS effects. I like to have compression WITH the OD effects, and this caused me to need to buy another pedal. The chorus effects are very nice in my opinion. I love the classic chorus, as well as the flange. I don't really care for the phaser as it seems to sound too "fake" to me.

    The wah leaves a little to be desired, I think. Although it's modeled after the Vox wah, it just sounds like a cheap imitation. I'll probably end up buying the actual Vox, or maybe a Crybaby sometime in the future.

    The reverb effects are great. My favorite thing about the pedal however, is the fact that you can choose between two difference channels for each effect preset. This is great in that channel "A" can be a more mellow rhythm in the verse of a song and channel "B" can be louder and give you that boost you need in the chorus.

    My only dislikes are the fact that you can't choose compression along with a distortion or overdrive effect and then the quality of the distortion effects. Also, the acoustic simulator sounds incredibly pathetic to me. I've tried using all of the pickup combinations on my Fender Power Tele (three pickup with five switcheable positions - AND a Fishman Power Bridge - tele bridge with piezo pickups on the saddles that gives the guitar it's own acoustic tone) and nothing can make it sound even remotely like a real acoustic to me.

    The pedals are a little on the small side and I've had several instances where I hit the wrong one because they're small and placed close together. That's not a REAL big issue to me, but if I had designed the pedal, I would have tried to remedy the problem.

    The construction is great. It's a solid metal chassis and I think would be very hard to damage.

    Overall, it's a very quality pedal and a great buy for someone who can't afford to buy individual stomp boxes. If buying individual stomp boxes isn't a problem for your budget, then go that route instead. It'll be worth it. If you have a 2 or 3 channel amp, then definitely buy individual stomp boxes. Otherwise, this pedal is a great purchase (especially for someone who runs the signal straight to the sound board and doesn't use an amp.

    I work for a music retailer, so I got a screaming deal. This item usually goes for about $299.99. I bought this because I needed multi-effects for live performance, and couldn't afford to buy individual stomp boxes at $100 a pop. This pedal has been worth every penny.

    Just about everything. The body is metal which gives it enough weight that it doesn't move around under foot. The effects are grouped into banks (16 preset/16 user) with 3 sounds per bank (total of 48 preset/48 user). Now here's where it gets good.

The effects are grouped into banks (16 preset/16 user) with 3 sounds per bank (total of 48 preset/48 user). Now here's where it gets good. The three sounds in each bank are diverse, usually a clear, distortion, and chorus/flange. Also, each sound has an A/B channel. The B channel activates the drive on the effect, so you really have 6 sounds, all without switching banks. This is very important for me, because I use this for live performing. I need to be able to quickly add drive, and effects without a hitch. This pedal is great for that.

    You can also switch banks while still playing the sound you were on. This is not available on Zoom and Digitech pedals. Usually, as you scroll, the sound changes. Now you can get a sound, and play away while you scroll and get your next bank ready. Also, the sound change is very fast. No noticiable delay when you tap into a new sound.

    The knobs at the top allow of quick changes for drivers, cabinets, modulation, and pedal. This is useful, because I have presets that I like to use, but the pedal does wah or something, and I want volume control. No problem. Get the sound, turn the knob to volume, and play away. This pedal is a live musicians best friend.

    I haven't played much with the user programs, but for studio musicians, listen up, this could make a big difference. Most pedals say they have user settings. You spend an hour setting it up, getting just like you want it. But if you unplug the unit, all of that is lost. MOST PEDALS DO NOT SAVE YOUR CHANGES!! The AX1500G does. All the work you put into it is saved.

    Last, the tuner is very good. Even better than my Boss tuner. (Really, I'm not kidding.)

    1. The Buttons are small and there are five of them. I have small feet, but I play in Doc's, so I was hitting two buttons alot. I had to learn to turn my foot on its side to make sure I hit the button I was going for. I could see how someone with size 11's might have even more of a problem.

    2. Scrolling down through the banks requires hitting two buttons simultaneously. The problem is one of the buttons also access the 3 sound in a bank, which is usually a very loud distortion. This means clicking in a new, abrasive sound by accident. I try to just scroll up whenever possible.



    Great metal body, nice solid expression pedal. Chicken head knobs and dials are tight, no problem of accidentally moving them. The foot buttons are plastic, but they should hold up, especially under my light weight.

    I have done alot of research, and here is your comparisson shopping list. These are internet prices, not in store, but you could get these prices at a store if you bargin.

    Pedals in the same price range:
    Digitech GNX1 $299 Digitech GNX2 $399
    Digitech RP2000 $299 Roland ME33 $240
    Digitech RP300 $199 Korg AX100G $250
    Digitech RP200 $149 Boss GT6 $400
    Digitech GENESIS3 $299

    I feel all digitech products are overpriced. They use too much plastic, and I have seen more than one crap out during a band's set. The GNX2 is nice, but not as useful in a live situation. The ME33 and AX100G are nice, but for $50 bucks more, you get way more pedal in the AX1500G.

    The only pedal I played that was a step up from the AX1500G was the Boss GT6. As far as ease of use, Korg wins, but the GT6 more sounds and more control over programming.

    I'm sure I've left alot of stuff out, but here's the real point of this rant. As a live musician, I look for ease of use, variety, and dependability. In a gig situation, this pedal has out performed rack mounts, and higher priced Boss pedals. For $300 bucks you'll get a workhorse that will make you proud.

    I bought the unit earlier this year from The Music Store, Bexleyheath, England. I paid £200 for it on the spur of the moment after a couple of minutes of trying the presets.

    What I like about the unit is the scope of effects available. Preamp models, Cabinet Sims, Modulation FX, Ambience Settings and an Expresion Pedal make it a Jack of all trades. It is ideal for recording or just Jamming and includes a useful Phrase Trainer and sample and play fuction. As far as I'm concerned I only really use the Metal distortions, Acoustic sim and Wah Wah functions but there's some good medium gain stuff in there too as well as some more off the wall FX.

    Some of sounds can sound a little rough around the edges and the patch change buttons are rather close together.

    Silver metal outer casing with various black plastic switches and pots to control and alter effect parameters. Expresion pedal on the far right hand side and a red LCD display center/right.

    Overall this is very good value for money. Any of the problems mentioned are overthrown by the quality of the preamp section. I would say the unit is a good buy for anyone who uses alot of high gain distortion but likes additional effects on hand.

    I use it on a blackstar lamp ht5r and I buy to offset the lack of hight-distortion amplifier gain! on this config, it works with the fire of God, however you must hack a minimum. Otherwise, I quickly moved my way, the clean is cold at will, even the amp did not correct the default (to tell you I n''utilise a dozen of his factory that j 'I completely changed), the effects for the 3 / 4 are not convincing, because too poorly done, such as different modeling amp is catastrophic. Vice is pushed a certain stompbox, ring mod, pitch bend ... And what about the pedal is even worse in the ulis wah is ... pfff I find no words so it's bad (imprecise, and the curve is random)! Another default is the murmur reccurence on some distortion, notament on my ultra light this is! I tried on my old marshall mg is it reduces the problem! therefore focus on the pedal a modeling amp! And yes that is the problem of digital effects ...

    its modern metal: 8 / 10, clean / rock for use other than metal: 5 / 10

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for about 6 months, and for the utility and the price I bought it I am completely satisfied.

    But the worry is that versatility is poor since oriented sounds too modern, modern metal fans will love! For the rest go your way there are more versatile multi-effects from Boss!

    ultimately saw its rating current argus is a Excellent quality / price ratio for digital effects, if you want a multi-oriented "modern style" is that you need is undeniable!

    overall rating 8 / 10 for those who seek only the big sound (my case)! otherwise 5 / 10 for the rest jazz, blues, rock ... the past can still retro funk

    - 11 types of amp modlisation
    - 11 types of modulation (chorus, octave, delay ...)

    making five sections to build a cumulative effect
    For each type of effect, the knobs are a function diffrent in rglages.

    Two compositions are due to effects pedals each of the three plants. In fact, we construct a sound, it is attributed a pedals. THE FIRST pedals then uses switch A / B, as on an amp, and you can change the type of distortion and amp, but other effects remain the same.
    Your checks each bank of six sounds, use the pedals to climb dernire, and type 2 dernires simultanment on the pedals to get (a, it is not very s practice).

    SOUND QUALITY

    In my case, what I like in a sound is its dynamics. For example, I like the lights rponse amps with a sound that good when I attack pte, or gentle enough, when I nuance.
    For example, I have no cd of the POD mode, which I find a tiny (but hey, must sell ...).
    So if you want to build disto sounds that sound in headphones, or in a studio to make models, with little or volume to please the neighbors, then live the multi effects.
    If you want to find the big sound, it takes BIG stuff, with a head amp pushed to its limits and volume. Frankly, there's no picture, try you will see.
    Regarding the quality of the AX1500G effects, the distortion is trsralistes the rverb trs good, the weird effect (talkbox, octave, etc. ..) are odd, the wah, blah.
    All effects produce little breath, and follow the sound of your guitar. Finally, some very useful accessories: a tuner a quality mtronome, the possibility to record 16 seconds of play

    OVERALL OPINION

    For a year I use (home, or RPET), I think I made a good choice.
    Other alternatives were offered me (the price of little importance):
    - WG6 (Boss): too big, too complicated too synthetic
    - The GNX (digitech) plastoc, 2 times more expensive, breath, and no better quality effects
    - Zoom GFX8: quality effects in a little less distortion (breath), but it is an alternative INTERESTED, especially if you have a PC (you can shape your sounds with).
    Ratio Q / P excellent, and if I buy something today, I choose the same referrer.

    The effects available are IMPCABLES! I even try on a crappy little amp of 10 watts and sounded good! It is also the fact that we can btancher it to perform its stro (enregisterment of 16 seconds in "loop").

    UTILIZATION

    Fconfigure trs simple. For those who really conaissent it super easy for others with a little trial and error is still very rapidemnt get the sound you want!
    The manual is clear and trs easy to understand in an excellent french.
    The 48-pr Intgr programs are great and they can be put to our taste alterations

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 3 weeks and never a second olny I regret my purchase.
    Excellent quqlit price! (Still you need to know to shop)
    After my purchase if I am a Rasht modulator because it would break I would buy one like that!

Seulhic, we can not combine the effects of a modeling and effects pedal. But the rest of the hardware trsbon considering the price.

    UTILIZATION

    The AX1500G is extremely easy to handle, even for beginners. There are no potentiometers which we do not know the function, the grip is spontaneous, settings, instinctive. The manual and estsimple prcis. It goes straight to the point without unnecessary stuff ourselves about.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Overall, the effects appear to be effective, even if an effect like the "ring modulation" remains a mystery to me. (O then have to put yourself playing Primus <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt="mrgreen" /> ) I use the pedal on a Fender US, and the sound quality is excellent, especially with the simulation "acoustic" is a marvel. effects are well plutt ralistes, most "Russian" I think both delay effects that are fairly provided.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I used a lot of time and then got into the pedals because I knew what sound I prcisement voulais.En short, it's a good pedal, with a quality value for rev price. It is trs versatile, you can leave all the sounds with a!
    For beginners, if you do not know exactly the sound you want, it's really the IDAL, the quality is correct trs, and the effects and ambiences to collect the modlisations shovel ...

    I remake that choice without hsitation!
    I started with a, and has really helped me to explore many different sounds.

    - Metronome (jusq'à 208 bpm)
    - Technology REMS (the backbone of KORG!)

    I'm not 10 for two reasons:
    - No MIDI interface connectors
    - The absence of the power button (on / off). TFW is con but the beast when you turn on and off the field arm when it is unplugged.

    UTILIZATION

    Operation is very simple! have a clear, concise, no knobs in bulk (see BOSS), the effects are easily adjustable, and if necessary information, the manual is thick but you can find all the answers.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The effects are efficient technology (REMS), the distos very realistic (especially the US Hi-Gain announcing the Apocalypse once properly adjusted => mesa correct), the amp simulations are royal (small crush on the BLACK PANEL 2x12 ;-)), the modulations are terrible (mention the odd effect of the year for the Filtron that gives the impression of hearing a pack of ducks) the effects pedal are nice (the UVibe meet JIMI fans of the god), the Wah is (obviously) not the ultimate weapon, but it makes a lot so far and reverbs (11 anyway) are classes. The acoustic simulator is not too bad and the compressor provides a good clear sound.
    Note the presence of a setting Reductor Noise (Rule sensitivity and parasites) hyper-efficient.

    My favorite effects: US Hi-Gain, dist Classic, Metal, Classic Flanger, Vox Wah, Mod Delay
    The effect I like least is the Ring Mod (too zarb)

    I use the Korg Ax-1500G with an Ibanez RGT42 (Di Marzio PAF Pro and tonezone) and a marshall VS100R

    OVERALL OPINION

    - I use this beast for 3 months and it is a treat

    - Simplicity and reality are its sound two major assets

    - Defects .... ben .... uh .... hardly! Lack the power button and MIDI

    - I started with a zoom 707 II, and I wanted to see above. Then I tried the BOSS GT6 (that of my counterpart in the group) and it based on the opinions of the site AF and finally trying the Korg store was clear: I must have!

    - The rapprt quality / price is preposterous! 370 euros the unit; While it is not very big and not very complex, but it was in the belly! compared with the GT6 (650 euros) and the digitech (600-700) is a matter of approximately 24 carats

    - .... If I had to make another choice .... GUESS!

    Easier for many configs, it must not exist apart the ME-50 (but it does not simulate hp amps or so ...)
    in an hour we realized how everything works

    Ah: the foot!
    j've shit the seller to test the pedals at the same time to check the quality of effects: bah ca and makes as well as a special pedales.mention the wah, which makes it really good compared to other multi-effects, and the metal casing of the machine gives no apprehension, we can let off steam on it.
    I used the one with Fat Start and a fender performer 1000, and bah ca me the boost and all the neighbors moved one by one.
    and for fans of grunge, the config to factory "grungy" is perfect!

    OVERALL OPINION

    14h continuously since yesterday I'm on it, and few things I dislike, if n is too present some echoes in the configs of plant
    j had tried a dozen pedals, I-50, zoom 707, yamaha magic stomp, the POD and the X-Vamp before taking the AX1500G and bah there was no final verdict in the picture, sound, possibiltsd plyvalence use and the machine m were largely Penh for the Beast, and the report quality price imbattable.je got the 250 euros.
    my experience is too short, but I think I made the right choice.

    Not much more to add. I therefore résumé:
    - Amp simulations
    - Simulations of HP
    - Modulations (flanger, phaser, chorus) and effects (autowha, Wiltron ...)
    - The 'moods' (delay, reverb ...)
    - The switch to travel in banks
    - An expression pedals
    You can not shuffled any effects (eg not possible to have a phaser with a flanger and a chorus ... well I know it's not pwr) and you can not choose the order of effects (which seems normal for a multi that price)

    The sound of mtronome is pretty bad ... Why is the pace of the box AX100G??

    Finally, why must we choose between a compressor and an amp simulator?? I have both AIM me

    Finally, why must we choose between a compressor and an amp simulator?? I have both AIM me

    UTILIZATION

    Very easy to use, even if some default. Do not worry if the list is long. The same note will still be good but I think t have all the qualities cited, I will not dwell.
    Because quality does not much mentioned, I say:
    - The possibility to switch to 'individual': Once a sound can be activated at the push of the pedals to enable or disable select the effect (reverb, chorus The Dlay ...). It is very practical.
    - The pdalier is sufficiently heavy is not moving from the ground.

    And here is the default:
    - Pedals a bit small ... sometimes you press 2 once (it's rare when even trs)
    - To set up banks, you have to press a but pedals to go down, you have to press 2 once. Not practical ... All the times we missed his stroke and that risk of error of her ...
    - As used to the Vamp, I'm used to potentiomtres endless ... They have the Korg Butes: If you change the value of the paramtre knob, no longer remembers the original value, which is not the case with an endless since knob can see (thanks to the LED's Vamp) what is the value.

    The rest is efficient trs

    SOUND QUALITY

    The quality is correct trs. I have trs sounds good metal. For other amp simulator, with Vamp, I find a bit bland ... but still good when even trs.

    For cons, the simultaneous 'acoustic', I find shit! And what she blows!

    For wha pedals, I find that the varieties of sounds are not large enough.

    Using the Korg with a Variax, I can have a large variety of sounds.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Well, has been a month since I have it. I am both happy and.
    A CT less than 250, I have a robust multi-effects pedals with ... Good sound, good effects, easy to use ... All the previous ones qualitsdcrites opinion.

    But he also default, as the principal for me the lack of nuances in the whawha pedals.

    However, do not forget the price. And the level of quality is to go.

    So for résumé:
    9 / 10 if no other stuff and if we do not do too much wha
    7 / 10 in my case.

    So I but 8 / 10
