1.
With four AA batteries installed, or the optional adaptor connected to the Power Supply Input, connect your guitar/bass to the INPUT
jack on the rear panel.
2.
Set the Function Selector knob to “PROGRAM” and lower the MASTER output level of the AX5 using the Value Knob.
3.
Connect your headphones, mixer, or amplifier to the OUTPUT jack on the rear panel; then use the Value Knob to raise the MASTER
level, increasing the volume.
4.
Tune up! Step on the Program Up and Down Switches simultaneously to activate Bypass mode; the auto-chromatic tuner will be active
(if both switches are held for approx. 1 second, Mute mode will be activated). Pluck a string; the Program/Value Display will indicate
the note name, and the Program Switch LEDs will indicate whether the note is sharp or flat. When both lights are lit simultaneously, the
string is in tune.
5.
Return to the previous mode by stepping on either of the Program switches.

1.
While holding down both Program UP and DOWN Switches and the CANCEL Button, connect the power adaptor (or if using batteries,
power up by plugging a cable into the input jack). The Program/Value Display will indicate “rL” and the Program Switch LEDs will
blink. Release the button and switches.
2.
Press the WRITE Button once (“Ld” will display). The factory programs will be loaded into the user area (01~40). When loading is
completed, the Program/Value Display will indicate “CP” briefly, and program number 01 will be recalled.
Note:
To cancel this operation when the program value display reads “rL” press the Cancel button instead of the Write
button.
Note:
If you reload the preset programs, all previously stored custom programs will be overwritten!
Note:
Never turn off the power while this operation is in progress!

The AX5 pedals provide 80 program locations; 8 banks with 10 programs in each (8x10=80). Programs 01 - 40
are User locations that can be customized and saved. Programs 41 - 80 are factory preset, and can be modified
but cannot be overwritten.
1.
Set the Function Selector knob to “PROGRAM”.
2.
Using the program UP and DOWN Switches, you can now scroll through and audition all 80 programs.
Tip:
To jump from bank to bank (as opposed to scrolling through each individual program), use the Cancel and Write
buttons.

Each of the AX5’s 80 programs can be modified to your liking. This includes chaining effects types as well as
effect parameters.

Set the Function Selector knob to the effect type you wish to edit (i.e. PRE FX, DRIVE/AMP, MOD, DELAY/REV, etc.)
2.
Use the Write (“UP”) & Cancel (“DOWN”) Buttons to scroll through the various effect choices. (Press UP & DOWN buttons
simultaneously to turn FX type off).
