[. . . ] (The name display will indicate the model name as "TUBE OD. ") If you selected a programmed effect, the ORIG icon will light. The five value LED's will light, and the corresponding value knobs will be assigned to DRIVE, LEVEL, TREBLE, MIDDLE, and BASS respectively, and will function as knobs that adjust the value of each parameter. The name display will indicate the name of the parameter assigned to that knob, and the MASTER/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. 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). By rotating the respective value knobs, you will enter Edit mode (the effect block LED will blink); the name display will indicate the parameter name, the MASTER/VALUE display will show the 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 AX1000G is bypassed, muted, or recording in Phrase Trainer mode. 12 Setting the noise reduction and program levels 1. By rotating value knobs 1 or 2, or pressing the NRLEVEL switch, you can access the screen displays for adjusting the noise reduction and setting the level for each program. To adjust the amount of noise reduction, use value knob 1 (range OFF. . . 10: shown in the MASTER/ VALUE display). To adjust the level of each program, use value knob 2 (range 0. . . 10: shown in the MASTER/VALUE display). When you finish making settings, press the EXIT switch to return to Play mode. Modifying program names Press the RENAME switch and specify the desired program name. Use the cursor switches ( , ) to select the character that you wish to change (the character will blink).

Writing programs Here's how to write an edited program. Press the WRITE switch, and the name display will indicate "WRITE. " The bank number display and the program LED will blink. Use the MASTER/VALUE switches (or value knob 5 and the bank switch) to select the writing destination bank, and use the cursor switches (or the program switch) to select the writing destination program. Noise reduction Level Instead of value knobs 1 and 2, you can also use the cursor switches to select a parameter and use the MASTER/VALUE switches (v, w) to adjust the value of the parameter. It is not possible to turn noise reduction off. Depending on the guitar that you use, raising the noise reduction setting too high may cause the sound to be cut off at low levels. The volume of each program will change depending on the guitar that you use. If you wish to save the noise reduction and program level settings that you edited, you must perform the "Program write" operation. If you turn off the power or select a different program without writing the program, the program you modified will revert to its previous settings. If you decide not to write, press the EXIT switch to cancel the Write operation.
