3. Press the Program Up or Program Down switch to select a program.
The program/value display shows the number of the program you selected.
Expression pedal
Each program specifies the expression pedal’s control target (volume,
wah, or an effect parameter). When you move the pedal up or down
while performing, the sound of the program will change accordingly.
By pressing the pedal setting switch, you can change the target con-
trolled by the expression pedal. Each time you press the switch, the con-
trol target will change in the order of VOLUME
➜ WAH ➜ FX PARAM ➜
VOLUME ..., and the LED for the target being controlled will light or blink.
VOLUME (LED=orange): The pedal will operate as a volume pedal.
WAH (LED=red): The pedal will operate as a wah pedal. In this
case, [PRE FX] will be assigned as a pedal wah.
FX PARAM (LED=green): The pedal will control the effect parameter
specified by that particular program.
For a program that assigns the expression pedal’s control target as WAH or
FX PARAM, advancing the pedal forward will turn off the effect being con-
trolled by the pedal, and the expression pedal LED will change from lit to
blinking. Once again advance the pedal forward, and the effect being con-
trolled will turn on; the expression pedal LED will change from blinking to lit.
If the expression pedal’s control target is VOLUME, the position of the
volume pedal will control the volume of the selected program.
In the case of WAH or FX PARAM, the sound of the program will not change
until you actually operate the expression pedal after switching programs.

VOLUME PEDAL is available if the expression pedal’s control target is
set to VOLUME.
Edit mode is when the function selector is in one of the [PRE FX]–[DE-
LAY/REV PARAM] positions.
You can change the effect type for each category ([PRE FX], [DRIVE/
AMP], [LEVEL/NR/CAB/PEDAL], [MOD], [DELAY/REV]), and edit the
parameters to create your sound.
Selecting effects and adjusting the main parameters
[PRE FX], [DRIVE/AMP], [MOD], [DELAY/REV]
To select the effect you want to use in each of the categories [PRE FX],
[DRIVE/AMP], [MOD], and [DELAY/REV], set the function selector to
the appropriate position and use the [
▲ ] or [ ▼ ] buttons.
The program/value display will indicate a value of F0–F9 (in the case of DRIVE/
AMP, d0–d5 or A0–A9), and the LED in the upper part of the program down
pedal will light (or blink), indicating that the effect type is being shown.
The effect list printed on the panel tells you the effect type that is selected.
By turning the value knob you can adjust the main (most important)
parameter for the currently selected effect. At this time, the program/
value display will indicate the value of the parameter, and the LED in the
upper part of the program up pedal will light (or blink) to indicate that the
parameter value is being displayed.
To turn an effect on/off, press both the [ ▲ ] and [ ▼ ] buttons simultaneously.
When an effect is on the effect type is shown, and when an effect is off
the display indicates “
”.
■ Quick guide
When you select an effect, the AX5B automatically sets the parameters
of that effect to their most effective values. In other words, you can cre-
ate great sounds just by choosing an effect for each of the categories
PRE FX, DRIVE/AMP, MOD, and DELAY/REV, without having to make
detailed parameter settings.
By adjusting the main parameters, you can tweak your sound to what
you have in mind.
