Selecting a program
Press the UP or DOWN switches to increment or decrement the
programs in steps of one. When you do so, the multi-display

Selecting a bank
Although you can use the UP or DOWN switches to select pro-
grams across banks, you can also switch programs by bank.
1. Press and hold the PROG/FX SELECT switch for approxi-
mately one second until the number LED begins to blink.
2. Press either the UP or DOWN switch to increment or decre-
ment the bank.
3. Press the PROG/FX SELECT switch once again to finalize the
bank and make the number LED stop blinking.
Bank Hold (10’s HOLD)
By simultaneously pressing the TAP switch and EXIT switch,
you can prevent programs of other banks from being selected.
At this time, the decimal point (dot) at the lower right of the 10's
place in the number LED will light.
Press the UP or DOWN switches to select programs within the
current bank.
When you once again press the TAP switch and EXIT switch
simultaneously, the Bank Hold (10’S HOLD) function will be can-

Checking the effects used by a program
Some programs do not use all of the effects. When you select a
program, the LED beside each effect select switch will light to
indicate the effects that are being used. An effect that is turned
off can be edited (turned on) by pressing its select switch, and
when you press another select switch or the EXIT switch, the
LED will change from blinking to lit.
Bypass, Mute
By pressing the UP and DOWN switches simultaneously, you
can Bypass the AX100G so that no effects will be applied. (The
multi-display will indicate "
BYPASS " for two second.)
Alternatively, by pressing the UP and DOWN switches simulta-
neously and holding them for approximately one second, you
can Mute the AX100G completely so that no sound will be out-
put. (The multi-display will indicate "
MUTE " for two second.)
To defeat Bypass or Mute, press the UP or DOWN switch.
Auto tuner
When the AX100G is in bypass or mute condition, the tuner will
operate automatically. If you mute the AX100G you will be able
to tune your instrument without producing sound. This is used
for on stage tuning.
1. Tune your guitar so that the desired note
name appears in the number LED. The
decimal point “
. ” at the lower right of the
number LED will light to indicate a sharp .
2. The seven-point pedal indicator will show the difference be-
tween the pitch you play and the note name. Tune your in-
strument so that only the center LED is lit.

Changing the calibration setting
As necessary, you can adjust the calibration (the frequency of the
standard A pitch) in the range of 438—445 Hz. (440 Hz is “stan-
dard”)
When the tuner is operating, you can rotate value knob 1 to ad-
just the calibration. The calibration setting is shown in the multi-
display.
When the power is turned off, the calibration setting you modify
will be lost, and will automatically return to 440 Hz the next
time the power is turned on.
