Korg AX1000G

This unit was very easy to figure out. You almost don't need a manual, which by the way is laid out kinda weird.
I like being able to actually turn knobs (I'm funny that way) and they are all there labeled in plain English. my biggest gripes and a crucial ones I belive ,are this... The "program switches" are super sensitive and if you don't hit them just right there is a slight delay when switching tones. This I believe is due to the button traveling to far when hit hard. To remedy this I have placed thick weather stripping in front of the buttons to take the impact of my over zealous stomping.
my other grip is the lack of a dedicated bank down button. instead you have to push on program 4 while you use the up bank button. that is just a little annoying. Over all pretty cool though.

I use the ax1000g in a few set-ups. In all cases I play a Stratocaster through it. Mostly I play it through a Pevey classic 50 head and a fender bandmaster 2x12 cab. At home through a Vibrolux and at work(when I get the chance)through headphones or computer speakers. The amp and speaker modeling work fairly well. Through all the unit sounds great. most of the effects sound wonderful though I think some of the distortions are redundant. I also wish the wah had an adjustable range. but it still is good. I was disappointed in the "sampling" feature but plan to invest in a real one soon any way ,so no big whoop.

I have not had this unit that long so I have not but it through hell yet. I am pretty tough on my gear and usually buy accordingly. The metal housing seems to be pretty bomb proof and the pots are actually metal too. As for using it on a gig with out back up? well any one who doesn't bring some sort of back-up for even the best piece of gear is a fool.

Never had to deal with Korg. I have had a 411fx for quite a while with out any troubles. I hope to continue that trend.

I play a pretty eclectic aray of sounds so a box that does a little of every thing such as this is important. My band INaCAGE http://www.inacage.com is basicly funky modern hard rock. I have had my share of stomp boxxes in the 16 years I have been playing. I have owned a Bigmuff, dunlop wahs , danelectro daddy-o, mutron3, and a few diferent boss,mxr and dod boxxes. I must say this little puppy can simmulate them all fairly well. I know I'll get some purists whining about that one but an acurate aproximation that runs quietly with out having to do the peddel dance wins over vintage cool for me any day.
If I had to change any thing I would make the buttons able to take more agressive stomping. I am a very phisical player and find my self making running leaps to my pedal board at some changes. Also I would make the metronome have a more pleasing tone and I would add a bank down button.

This unit is very easy to use. It took me about one hour to learn all its functions. Editing is very easy, using rotary knobs. You almost don't need a manual at all.

I use this board with a Jackson KE-3 with a SD-JB and a Crate GXT-H100. It's not extremely noisy, but at high gain you have some amount of noise, but I don't know an effect processor which doesn't have this.

The effects on this unit are really great, especialy the modulation effects are real good. The cabinet simulator is also very sweet (especially on head phones).

One thing I don't like about this unit is the wha-wha pedal, to me it seems you can only put it in two positions.

I've just bought it, so I don't know. It looks very reliabile ( metal housing ).

Just bought it, don't know.

First I want to say that when I went to the store I was planing to buy the Line 6 POD, but I didn't got one decent sound out of it, so I ended up with the Korg. This unit is much more versatile, got better effects, you can use it for direct recording and it's cheaper.

I've been playing for more than three years and this is my first multi-effects board. I must say I really like it.

If it were stolen or lost, I would buy another one. This board is great value for its price. I'm on a thight budget so I rather put my money in guitars or recording gear, but I'm glad I've bought it.

A very tinny sound, gave a lot of effort and time to edit patches, manual incomplete, unable to find some references. Took a while to even get an okay sound.

Gibson Les Paul sunburst standard through a park practice amp. Much background noise, some effects totally weak, distortion not fat enough. Couldn't even get a Jimi sound! Fuzz very sucky. Okay clean, slightly jazzy sound.

Metal chipped whem I was using my steel-capped boots. I could not use my on-stage hammer trick, and when headbutting the unit, the pedal became slightly dislodged.

Wouldn't even tell me the time of day.

Compared to the Zoom GFX-707, this is a pile of steaming hippopotamus fodder. It certainly didn't match my punk/gospel/sinatra style of playing. In fact, I asked my friend to steal it, and claimed insurance, so I could buy another GFX-707. But my friend gave it back, it was sooo crap. BUY ZOOM, they rock.

Cool knobs with the analog feel. Wah pedal ...very effective. Editing patches is as easy as abc once you understand the manual. The manual is orite.

Sound really works.....TONEWORKS!!!! Cool distortion ranging from hardcore stuff to bluesy jazzy sound. Lots of control of the sound tones rates...etc. Very flexible in sounding.......

It's metallic baby!!!! No bomb's gonna blow this baby up ...honey

I play Jazz, reggae and rock...personally I feel that this stuff is a must buy if you are into modern music coz this gadget has got the latest ammo to last you a lifetime.
I own the GFX 707...this thing is like a toy compared tho the AX1000G.
I would buy it again If i were to lose it.
Wished It had larger display..
The metronome is good for practice.
Try it...you'll luv it...
