Well, for the purpose, look at the site of Korg, roughly:
- 10 types of distortion
- 11 types of amp modlisation
- 11 types of modulation (chorus, octave, delay ...)
- 11 effects pedals (wah, talk box, volume, etc ...)
- 11 ambience effects (reverb, echo)
making five sections to build a cumulative effect
For each type of effect, the knobs are a function diffrent in rglages.
Connections: between one guitar, two outputs (left and right), an auxiliary input (CD player, etc.) The pdalier is quite small (easy to transport), and solidly built.

UTILIZATION

It is a strong point of this pdalier: the simplicity of rglage. No need to memorize a manual pais (one of Korg's not pais, and well done) there are all forgotten when it is needed, the everything is intuitive, and it's like bike, once we understand, has naturally falls.
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.
