All user reviews for the Korg Ax1500g

All t dja said the technical specifications.

UTILIZATION

Gnrale configuration is somewhat complex even if I never had the opportunity to compare it with other pedals. It is hard to rtrograder bank (press 2 switches at the same time be somewhat difficult, especially CONCERE) and the interface is so-so (I prfre widely int breakers my pdalier peavez).
The edition is not too complex, however, and is pretty fast if you want an effect prcis.
The manual is not one of the best but he correctly explains the functions of the prinipales AX 1500 G, a good point: some technical terms are explained well trs.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are really dcevants, some are correct but most are of same quality chapter in a long time Galise from the sound and work the intensity of the effect (I think notement reverb, trs synthetic, and the chorus that sounds somewhat vritable).
sounds are too vamp too hot, and when trying to have a warmer sound you leave trs poor (poor quality bass and low medium), I confirm that more high power is the quality of acute dteriore.
I played with a Jackson Dinky DKMG (EMG-HZ) and I put it in effects loop on a Peavey Bandit 112 with clear sound and distortion when it is well satisfied with me RULES more than the effects of the pedals. Thus, I find no big distortion on it, at least none that can rival that of my peavey (though not among the best in its class).
This finding is the same when the pedals are branch SERIES (breath and parasites within: the signal to noise ratio is rather mdiocre).

OVERALL OPINION

It is indeed true that on paper this PDAL Submitted a report quality price just standard, but personally I'm breaking my head trying to find the sound I like and I do find it (I play every style of music, and I play in groups), it will do more than two years since I bought and I have never used in CONCERE (notement causes of usability problem).
If you had this purchase again, I do not do it again, and I m'achterai plutt a Line 6 pedals that Boss or to have them heard in dja throw more (line 6 POD and Boss EC 2B, Boss CE-1 et seq etc ...).
Finally I have a wha wha pedals, crybaby is increuvable and whose effect is inconparable
with wha wha or self of AX1500G.
short, even do a little more expensive: korg ingnieurs home (with all due respect I have for you) it is unfortunately necessary to review your copy!

CHARACTERISTICS have the dj t ennonces ...

High accuracy: if you read around the net advice as how the multi-effect is worse than the effects spars, well knowing that the loss caused by the number of connecting a pedalboard (twice each end) and a source of great loss of quality. in other words if you just utiliss distortion and wha-wha is advantageous because the effects are better but otherwise a good multi sachs effect and as effective as a group effect ( and certainly easier to use).

that's why Dave Murray, whose guitarist is rpution longer uses a multi purpose!

UTILIZATION

The configuration is very simple (a small APRS adaptation time) and arrive to find a good sound quickly. you can easily edit and save an effect to the position desired. so it is simple to position effects depending on the setlist of a concert. for example, Bank 1 = 1,3,6 and 7 songs.

The transition from a bank because the other is simple. but downgraded to be a rvele vritable gym when you're barefoot. the buttons are well spaced (one not support two at a time) and use well thought out.

SOUND QUALITY

Yes! The effects are effective as long as you plug it into an amp correct (I have a head mg100hdfx and a jackson DK2 SK). On a guitar amp "normal" is not without function room (no need to simulate what is the relement) but it becomes essential for a direct connection to a mixer (and if the amp simulation n is not intgre in direct box) it avoids the need to return to his amp with a microphone. if the sound seems too synthetic, but it is a problem that has nothing do with the MODEL of the pedal. (I have the Tenai prciser certainly appears here as unknown function) and the ones they surment dja seen at concerts, some return to the enclosure with a condenser microphone and the other not.

I like all the effects but I do not use them all because the pedal is versatile and can rev to have corresponding sounds accsa has many styles DIFFERENT

OVERALL OPINION

 - How long have you been using it? 
  It's been 6 years that I've had it and I'm not tired 

- What is so special that you like most and least?
Metal box
A start button would have been welcome

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
No, it was bought on a whim the day before Christmas and I had little time to try it because the store was full and the seller a bit overwhelmed. I did not really try when buying

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Very good value for money

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
yes and no, because I still think that a group, appear weak distos
As against the studio for the price, it is nickel

See below. I would add that there an effect that can make a loop. Too bad it is not longer than 8 seconds. But this has to be MRIT l. Otherwise it is a complete multi effect trs. The pedals to change the channel is very practical to switch to lead by example.

UTILIZATION

The config is pretty simple. The big problem of this pdalier is that the pedals are too close together. Every time you have to press with the tip of the foot for not crashing. Live is a trs boring unless you're the kind remain static. The other is black li is that the pedals to change the other bank is ct, which is similar: if it is pressed in the middle of a song without gaffe (and happened to me sometimes that I talk about it) is the sea .. ! In addition to the beginners I had not made that blunder could return to rear by pressing both buttons at the same time. I went around to return to the good program. Imagine in the middle of a song! Another little common cares most pdaliers, when playing the collection's outdoor day, we see nothing, neither step nor Lumire. To grant, and well ... forget the pedals Then if we change the program without gaffe I just said not galre to find the right one.
So for me, which made some of these concerts inconvnients forced me to change pdalier.

SOUND QUALITY

Trs sounds are correct. The high volume loadings tend be a bit garish. Therefore a lot to play with the knobs. The wah is okay but no more.

OVERALL OPINION

I kept it 2-3 years. I changed for something more suited the scne, more functional, with warmer tones. Otherwise, it's still a good pdalier. I liked the small loop and the possibility to change the channel. C'tait for me two strengths that are not found often in pdaliers this range. Its size allows it to be no problem will integrate into a suitcase effects. Today it has become affordable trs, and it's more forcment INTERESTED than buying full of pedals.

11 types of distortion including a metal very nasty if you know the rule (I get the same gains with my peavey bandit 112 with a distal ring especially good for metal ...
Other styles are not to be outdone ... I found on the net patches "pre-conceived" and I get the blues sounds or sounds to santana more than convincing for a pedalboard without lamps: sharp modeling!
11 types of speakers can be simulated and the placement of a virtual microphone from the speakers can also be set: I think it is very effective and realistic!
effects are not left out: paser chorus and other effects are present and classical sounds all natural!
other more specific effects are proving very interesting ...
the reverbs are in turn much better than my zoom 4040 ... (not to say there is a chasm between the two: the korg being well above!
on the other hand not much matter connections: an input, 2 output, an input for an external drive to record a phrase for the replay as fast ...
the worst part is that there is no switch! it must unplug to turn it off!
but these are very small default speeds forget!
Note finally a metronome very practical and always at hand to work well square!
Finally, it should also say that the case is metal and is very pretty and seems very solid! but I did not even try on stage but it should work without problems!!
ps: the point at least 10 is for connection

UTILIZATION

It took me that very little time to learn to use it!
All is done with the knobs and values appear on the screen!
you click the button and presto modulation you set with the knobs; hop ambience and you click you set with the same knobs ...
plus it can use 2 settings (amp drive + enclosure) for a single patch that can switch between rhythmic sound to a solo with the same effect using the rack as a footswitch
the manual is very clear and you will find everything that you did not understand it without opening ...

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality is impeccable and I believe that it will become a standart guitar multi-effects!
no breath (or he can lower it with a setting for this purpose
My favorite effect is the pitch shifter: we can settle this one with the limit: 4 seconds in time, 2 seconds of feedback pitch to + 12 and you play the note an octave repeat, repeat itself at the octave and so on: with good distortion and power chord really straighten you get almost a synth sound that sounds natural yet!
Note also the octave that sounds awfully good: it looks Quon plays with a bass!

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it for Christmas and I following more than happy! it is a very good investment that I do not regret
Zoom 4040 can go to r'habiller even if the section gave equalizer, connected in a loop his formidable! and that the connection was much larger!
I pay 2400 francs or 366 euros but you can find a little cheaper: in other brands for the same things he should at least give 2000 balls again! (I think brands like digitech ...)
value for money is excellent!
I do not separate it on!

This is a digital multi-effects pedal that is a relatively well-liked pedal. This pedal is cool because you can edit it on your computer by downloading updates. There are 48 different effects, including delay, reverb, chorus, phaser, flanger, and distortion (many kinds). There is also a chromatic tuner and a metronome built in. There are 2 channels that can be set to different settings, making for easy switching back and forth. This device is not MIDI capable and is not rackable. There is also an "expression pedal" that can control various aspects of the effects you use.

UTILIZATION

The editing of this pedal is easy in some ways. For instance, the 2 simultaneous channel feature makes it easy to set up settings that can be switched during songs. However, doing all the programming necessary for this to work is kind of a chore. It seems to take me forever to find the sounds that I want (if I find them at all). It also doesn't let you kick up various combinations and permutations of your effects the way a fully stocked pedalboard would. I think that the convenience of having all these effects is great if you have none of them already, however I doubt I'd ever want to replace a ton of pedals with this, sadly.

SOUND QUALITY

I would love it if I could find a multi-effects pedal such as this that I was happy with, but I always get frustrated with the digital effects. My biggest complaint is almost always the digital distortion. It always ends up sounding like the cheap 80s Joe Satriana/Steve Vai stuff that I hate. Beyond that, considering that nothing sounds strong enough until you put the delay on it, that's kind of annoying. It'd be less so if the delay didn't also sound really bad. I spent a lot of time trying to find the right sounds with this pedal but I ended up realizing that I was probably expecting too much out of it. Since I want the analog sound, I might as well stick to analog pedals, until they can honestly come up with something in pedal form that sounds good I won't be messing with digital.

OVERALL OPINION

The best thing about this pedal is certainly the convenience of having all these effects. Including the tuner and a metronome is a pretty cool idea as well, however, this doesn't make up for the general lack of quality sound effects. I really wish that I hadn't bought this, which is why I sold it promptly, though I couldn't get nearly what I paid for it. I would say unless you are a fan of digital distortions and idolize Steve Vai, don't get this pedal.
