2. Playing the AX100G
Phrase Trainer mode
In this mode, you can record a phrase from an audio device (CD
or MD) connected to the AUX IN jack, and play it back repeat-
edly as a loop. Then you can practice a phrase on your guitar
while playing to the repeating phrase.
Since you can slow down the playback speed without affecting
the pitch, this is a convenient way to learn or practice phrases
from recordings that are difficult to play.
In Phrase Trainer mode, the expression pedal will automatically
function as the volume control of your guitar.
When you enter this mode, the Modulation, Pedal, and Ambi-
ence effects will automatically be turned off. (When you exit
Phrase Trainer mode, the previous settings will be restored.)
