Korg Ax3g

I’ve had this one for awhile now. I’ve mainly used it for direct recording and general practice with a small Marshall amp. I probably wouldn’t recommend this one for live stuff unless you spen the time needed to tweak the settings for ideal tones.

I saw some reviews complain about hum. This pedal has a a noise gate. The should learn how to use it.

This is an older amp modeling multi effects pedal. The built in presets aren’t very good. Given the fact the volumes any gain change drastically switching patches they should only be used as short cuts setting up your own patches.

Since it has 40 user patches I set mine up so I have 20 patches for single coil guitars and 20 for Humbuckers. This gave me the flexibility to switch guitars without having to retweak all the patches set for one guitar type. I use many instruments recording.

I also used the amp types as a template. I used A00 through A07 and used 10 amp set up for clean tones. Then i copied those 10 and reworked them for driven tones. After that I copied those 20 and tweaked them for humbucker pickups. I added various effects which worked with the various amp patches.

I should mention this pedal is very similar to the Vox Stomplab (which is also owned by Korg). Other than it being a bit mor modern an having expanded settings it’s very similar.

The Korg can achieve some excellent results for recording direct if you take the time to dial up ideal settings. You need to pay close attention to the various cabinet settings and capture the tones you get from a miced amp. You also have to judge the results within the context of a complete recording with multiple instruments in a mix. This unit solo is at best mediocre but a well recorded instrument is often mediocre so it’s a matter of keeper ng the results in proper perspective when judging how it fills the soundscape

Korg 40 preset and 40 configurable presets, tuner, amp modeling ... REMS technology Korg

UTILIZATION

Configuration very simple two pedal to raise or lower the presets. Manual configuration rather complicated, incomprehensible manual.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality is to go for a modest use, sounds correspond to what I want, including progressive rock, we can all emulate with this pedal, I use it with a guitar and an amp M50 LTD ROLAND CUBE 20X, brief a small config in price but not quality.

OVERALL OPINION

For over a year since I use it, it suits me perfectly, especially given the very low price and yet "made in japan".

What are the effects, or types of effects available?
The effects are freely programmable. one must understand the system changes 40 customizable programs.

Are they edited? Via an editor for Mac / PC?
It can not be programmed via a pc or mac, the prog is to do it manually (damage)

Is it a rack or rack-mount model?
This is a classic pedal and floor-to drive the foot

What technology is used? (Analog, digital, tube ...)
I can not answer the question because I did not answer.

What is the connection? (Audio / MIDI)
I do not know.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is simple?
you must take the hand. For my part, I did very little used. and very little personal.

The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
I do not have much use

Editing sounds and effects is easy?
see the first response

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough?
I think it depends on the effects. for the most part they are quite satisfactory

OVERALL OPINION

How long you use it?
since 2010

Did you tried many other models before buying it?
not

What is so special that you love the most, least?
most: the price
the least: for me its too

How would you rate the quality / price?
it seems to be good

With experience, you do again this choice?
I do not think because I do not exploit it as best he can

full range of effects is available and ditable
it's numrique

UTILIZATION

edit effects is not simple, I need to record ac

SOUND QUALITY

distos the simulation and amp hum, quite cold and synthetic
modulation effects are not too bad (delay and flanger / chorus above)
So I use it mostly for clean sounds, or it can sound out drinking

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two years but I bought many pedals "uniform effect"
also it seems to me that this is not true bypass ...
last default, this supper I pdalier to consume a lot, in fact my harley benton powerplant junior can not give it enough juice I have the inscription "low" that often appears on the korg, it therefore needs a transformer ddi.
Its big advantage is its price, I would have given a better grade if silent ditable via a PC
