AX5B Owner’s manual
Introduction
Main features
❑ Detailed and powerful modeling sounds delivered by Korg’s
modeling technology.
❑ 58 types of modeling effect variation are built in, and you can use up
to six different effects (including noise reduction) and volume pedal
simultaneously.
❑ You can edit all of the parameters for each effect in the four effect
categories (pre-effect, drive/amp, modulation, delay/reverb).
❑ Use these modeling effects to create your own sounds and store
them in internal memory as one of 40 user programs. In addition, 40
more programs are provided as presets for immediate use. (p.54
“Preset program chart”)
❑ The AX5B provides an expression pedal that lets you control not
only wah and volume but also many effect parameters, giving you
enormous possibilities for live performance.
❑ The Quick Assign function lets you easily assign a parameter to the
expression pedal with one touch.
❑ The delay sound is preserved when you switch between programs
that have the same delay type and TIME parameter [P1] setting. Simi-
larly, the reverb is preserved when switching between programs that
have the same reverb type.
❑ A built-in auto chromatic tuner lets you tune while bypassed or muted.

1. Function selector
The operation of the up/down buttons and value knob will depend on the
mode that’s chosen by this selector. You’re in Program mode when this se-
lector is at the [PROGRAM] position, Write mode when at the [WRITE] posi-
tion, and Edit mode when at the [PRE FX]–[DELAY/REV-PARAM] positions.
2. Program/Value display
In Edit mode, this display indicates the effect type (F0–F9, d0–d5, A0–
A9, LE, nr, Cb), the parameter (P1–P4) or its setting (value).
In Write mode or Program mode, the display indicates the program num-
ber. When BYPASS/MUTE is active, the display indicates the name of
the note you’re tuning.
3. [
▲(WRITE)], [▼(CANCEL)] buttons
In Effect mode, use these buttons to switch effect types or parameters.
By pressing the two buttons simultaneously, you can turn each effect
on/off. In Write mode, use these buttons to write a program.
In Program mode, you can press these buttons to increment or decre-
ment the program number in steps of 10. When you’re using the tuner,
use these buttons to adjust the calibration setting.
