5. Rotate the knobs and the sound will change. The
name display will indicate the name of the
parameter assigned to that knob, and the MAS-
TER/VALUE display will indicate the value. At this
time, the “
ORIG
”
icon will light when the position
of the knob matches the original value — i.e., the
value before you began editing.
Instead of the five value knobs, you can also use the
cursor switches(
,
) to select parameters, and use
the MASTER/VALUE switches (
▲
,
▼
) to adjust the
value of the parameter currently shown in the name
display.
If you do not wish to use the DRIVE-AMP effect block,
press the
DRIVE-AMP
effect block select switch until
the LED goes dark. The DRIVE-AMP effect block is
now bypassed, and the name display will indicate
“
-OFF-
.”
The cabinet effect can be edited in the same way as the
drive amp effect. Since the modulation, pedal, and
ambience effects do not have separate effect channels,
begin from step 2 of “Editing example.”
For some effects, it is not possible to simultaneously use
the MODULATION and PEDAL effect blocks, or the
PEDAL and AMBIENCE effect blocks. If you attempt to
turn on both effect blocks, the block that had been turned
on first will automatically be turned off.
Quick Editing for the DRIVE-AMP
effect block
In the default state of each mode, the DRIVE-AMP
effect block parameters used by the selected program
are assigned to the value knobs (except when the effect
is off).
When you rotate each value knob, the
AX1500G
will
enter edit mode (the effect program switch LED and
the edit icon will blink). The name display will show
the parameter name, the MASTER/VALUE display
will show the parameter value, and the sound will
change.
If you wish to change an effect that is in use, use the
effect select knobs to select the desired effect.
It is not possible to edit when other functions are
assigned to the value knobs, when the AX1500G is
bypassed, muted, or recording in Phrase Trainer mode.
3. Editing
In
Play mode
and
Individual mode
, you can edit each
effect, set noise reduction and program levels, and
modify the program name.
During editing, the edit icon in the display will blink.

In Phrase Trainer mode, it is possible to edit the DRIVE-
AMP and CABINET effect blocks, but it is not possible to
perform editing operations that use the name display,
MASTER/VALUE display, the cursor switches or the
MASTER/VALUE switches. In addition, it is not possible
to switch programs or effect channels.
Editing effects
Rotate the effect select knob of the effect block that you
wish to edit, or press the corresponding effect block
select switch. The effect block LED will begin blinking,
indicating that it has been selected for editing.
Each program has two channels of settings (A and B)
for the drive amp and cabinet effects. Press the effect
channel switch to select the channel you wish to edit.
Use the effect select knob, effect block select switch,
and value knobs to edit the settings.
If you wish to save the edited effect, perform the
“Program write” operation. If you fail to do this, the effect
program will revert to its original settings when you turn
off the power or select a different program.
Editing example
As an example, we will explain how to select
TUBE
OD
as the drive amp effect for channel B.
1. Press the effect channel switch to select channel B
(the channel LED will light red).
2. If the name display indicated “
TUBE OD
” when
you pressed the effect block select switch(
DRIVE-
AMP
), simply continue. If not, turn the DRIVE-
AMP effect select knob to the
TUBE OD
position. If
the effect select knob was already located at
TUBE
OD
, first select a different effect model, and then
turn the knob back to
TUBE OD
.
3. The effect block LED will begin blinking, indicating
that it has been selected for editing. (The name
display will indicate the model name as “
TUBE
OD
.”) If you selected a programmed effect, the
“
ORIG
”
icon will light.
4. The five value LED’s will light, and the correspond-
ing value knobs will be assigned to
DRIVE
,
LEVEL
,
TREBLE
,
MIDDLE
, and
BASS
respec-
tively, and will function as knobs that adjust the
value of each parameter. (Refer to p.16, “Effect
parameters.”)
