I've found the sound to be very good, lettin' you access to a wide set of sounds according to your preferences. It's easy to control through the knobs every parameter, thus simplifying the whole process of editing effects. Although it's not a Jim Dunlop's, the wah sounds are nice. My only complain would be that the synth sounds are not what i expected. compared to a gt-8 or gnx-4 they are far beyond. I play live, and found it a really helpfull tool to connect it direct to the mixer, thus saving me the trouble of carry on heavy amplifiers to the clubs we play in. My advice to any user or buyer is to read carefully the owner's manual, and practice from the preset sounds into your own, by changing parameters. IT IS EASY!. And for begginers, i would say this: less is more, don't get to enthusiastic adding effect over effect, (this is something we all have done in our early days)but try not to abuse. At last, the individual function of this unit is awsom, it is like having five stompboxes to play with, try it!

As i said above, the synth sounds are not very good. These, and the arpeggiator are the effects i almost never use at all. For me, adding a bass guitar sounds emulator (like gnx-4 or gt-8) would have been a hit.

Although i bought it recently, i am pleased with the design. the vintage knobs are awsom. It looks tought, strong and reliable. My only complain is the ac-dc power supply, but i must clear out why: Living in Argentina, with 220 volts AC-DC system, original power supply do not arrive to the country, because of ISO 9000 rules or something alike, which forbid to deliver a power supply of 110 volts. For the future, it will be nice to have an original one, Korg's standard high quality product to work with 220 volts.

Yes, it is worthy

My dealer have always been responsable of taking care of any product i've purchased, so even though i have no direct access to Korg support, i get it from my dealer ( and friend) here in Mendoza, Argentina

it is beatifully made, i really like the design

Sounds a lot better than its predecessor; must cleaner and more defined sounds and effects

The material casing used is metal, which makes it tough, sturdy and ready for abuse on live gigs.

Much simpler to do a mix 'n match on when experimenting or trying to come up with your own sound effects and parameters.

It overall construction seems to be durable and will endure usage for long periods of time

At the price I paid (brand new) it's very much worth of every dollar I paid, money well spent.

I didn't have the need for such situation. However, there is an exclusive distributor for KORG products and they are very easy to deal with and near my place too.

The unit has got less sophiscated looks and appearance than other multi-effects but nevertheless a very compelling design, color and strong emotional appeals to me as a guitarist.

The sound from the AX3000G is so bloody awesome for any kinda stage or amp. i play heavier stuff like mudvayne, lamb of god, flaw...the processor is perfect for them...i'm also into leads of bands like scorpions and GnR and the wah wah and lead sounds are perfect. With just a bit of tweaking you can easly achieve your desired sound..its so simple to edit. We're also recording an album...and its perfectly suited for studio recording....it also has a MIDI port and an internal memory which is so bloody cool!!!! my distortion effect sounds good only with a certain amp setting...otherwise its sounds pretty muddy. I use a Schecter C7 Blackjack with this processor and the effects of the pedal suit the sound of the schecter perfectly.. I couldn't dream of a pedal with a better sound!!!

The product included quite a few features. It has a MIDI jack on it. It has another port where you can connect another effects processor, it has to outputs for the Right Channel and Left Channel. So for i havent played around with the features much...but i find the metronome, inbuilt tuner very VERY helpfull.

its like taking candy from a baby to try and get a good sound from this processor. users new to korg may have to read the manual...but users familiar with korgs older products dont have to even look at the manual. editing patches to get your sound has never been so easy. and incase you dont want o edit patches you can just plug and your guitar and use the wide variety of patches already available.

the product has a solid sturdy finish. The finish is so awesome with not a single dent or mark on it. the parts or all fit and easy to use. i do not worry about it breaking but i do take excessive care of it (because it is new) :p. The processor is built for the road for sure!! i'm sure it will last for at least another couple of years.

i think its the best buy for such an awesome processor as compared to other effect processors

so far i havent had any reason for support....

it has a great appeal. it has a gothic black finish and all its LEDs look like something out of a sci fi movie...people keep checking it out everythime o go for a gig....i wud just want this for the way it looks even if it didnt give me a good sound

After reading so many good reviews about this I bought it to replace my aged but still decent Zoom GFX-4. sound features wise its perfect from bedroom moshing to live performance. the only reason why thsi fantastic product loses marks is.... 1. Acoustic Sim is nowhere authentic & thats the biggest downfall of this product. maybe I need to tweak it a little more but belive me Ive spent the last 30mins doing it or itleast trying to improve the authenticity. I recently borrowed a BOSS ME-50 off a mate & the Acoustic sim is perfect! best Ive ever heard! 2. pre-programmed affects patches are boring. there doesnt seem to be anything interesting about the lot asside from the few distortions & somewhat the sitar patch but its still seriously lacking authenticity

feature wise its great.... minus the fact that this unit does NOT have an on & off switch (which I have overlooked the penalty) I havent had it long enough to find out more about the features. but reading the manual they all seem pretty sweet! :D

faily easy to use once u read the manual, otherwise takes a little getting use to

this is one of the most well made units I have ever seen

I got it fo 120UKS :P

N/a as I havent had to use it

this unit rocks.....so long as reprogramming half the preprogrammed sound banks doesnt scare you

I play in a band that gigs a lot

metal, rock. alt

idont even expect that its gonna be a good stuff cause i didnt use korg effects since before, but when i bought 1 to try it,i was amazed the sounds are so defferent specialy the metal distortion its awsome. tone works ax 3000g is now my tressure. ESS is great too!!

im a metal sounded guy so i always use distortion . just only the power supply which is become hot for a long gig but its not a problem

its looks like weak but you can depend on it cause its verry ragged i used it many times on gig and it never bring me down.

i have 4 kinds of expensive multi effects but im not satisfied on it, so now i realized that not all expensive things work better.

if u buy this stuff thers an e-mail add indicate to the manual and u can use it for any questions about your new toy, thats it!

its simple but ROCK!!!!

Im still learning about this, I've only owned it for one day. So far though the sound is great.

AC/DC 9V included. I think the, "Key Lock," is a very useful feature. I haven't found a least useful feature yet.

The product itself is complicated right now, but the manual explains everything.. which I'm still reading.

Built to last. I think I can depend on it to last for a long time.

Worth the price.

No problems yet.

I have it :oX

Good sound, if you plug straight in. But, I love the fact that I can plug this through the Effects Loop through my Peavey 5150 head. It works best this way. There is an added boost to the gain channel also through this way. So, I mainly use this for delay, reverb, chorus and flanger effects. Some sounds in it are useless though but Korg has always produced affordable equipment with good effects.

Not as easy to use as the previous AX1000G I owned but there is more to it. I love the fact that it has a return and send so you can put it through the effects loop of any head. I also like the fact that you have a midi capability also. This pedal offers more ways to plug into any configuration of amp than any other pedal in its price range.

You'll have to read the manual to program and learn the tricks.

The build quality isn't as good as the previous AX1000G and 15000G. My biggest gripe was the foot pedals are absolutely flimsy and the springs inside got loose several times. Better engineering needed next time. Better looking then previous models but not as sturdy.

Best value for your money. I haven't found a pedal at this price with as many features.

Never tried to deal with Korg.

I bought it twice. The first one broke because some drunk lady at one of my gigs fell on it 3 times and broke it. I went out to search for a possible other pedal but went back to this one because of the features it offered for the money.

i went and bought this coz my friend recommended it.... i sold it very fast, coz the distortion on this SUCKS TO THE MAX. i could get a heavier sound from an ax10g... seriously. the ax1500 was WAY better... dono what they did to this to mess it up this bad. only the cleans are OK... nothing to rave abt.

least useful: every kind of distortion and the weird rotary effects and presets. most useful: it looks good, tuner is easy to use (green and red LEDs...) i wish it had some kickass distortion.... dunno what happened there.

i rate the ease of use higher, coz its very simple to set a patch.... it doesnt have 20 parameters for each effect, which is good in the sense that its simple to set up (remember the fact that you dont get any decent heavy sounds from it).

metal construction for the body... but the patch buttons are plastic and seem delicate... pedal was decent.

not worth it. if you want sound and better construction, look elsewhere.

support was ok... went to them once coz one of the patch changing buttons or wtv got stuck. did take a while for them to fix it, tho. again i have no idea why.

nope...... i have a gt 8 now and LOVE it.

I found this unit to sound the best compared to other competitors. Even amp/modeling section seems to work the best. I think amp section is missing the presence control, but other than that I found it to be very manageble. It really can produce some great amp simulations, effects, etc.

The most flexible control and architecture on the market. You can use your pedal to control virtually anything.

Not the easiest to control, but it is a serious piece of equipment. Read the manual and you will get a hang of it very quick.
