Korg green multieffects

The collection is now complete.
These my friends are the best bass multieffects ever produced by the human kind and I have them all.

Quite the collection...

Which one's your favourite?

They all have a personnality.

The A5 is perfect to nail 80s bass tones. Crystal clear chorus, sharp flanger and you can adjust everything on the fly with sliders.

The A4 has a fantastic synth aboard, knobs to once again do things on the fly and awesome features like self oscillation (not sure if they planned it but it sounds rad), phase inversion for all effects and a 6 band semi parametric EQ. YOu can really go experimental with it. Make a loop, move knobs and boom, magic happens.

The AX-30B/300B (they're basically the same unit with more memory on the 300) let you tweak and adjust a lot of parameters without being too complicated. Even user presets are very usable and the thing always sounds full and musical. I use these mostly for recording.

The AX-1B is probably my favourite. I've been using it for over 10 years. It has a very small footprint and hosts everything you may need live or to rehearse. Expression pedal, metronome, tuner. Some tones like the ring mod, octafuzz or the drone are truly unique. It only has one parameter for each effect so edition is limited. When playing live it becomes an advantage because you can make usable patches within seconds.

I have other Korg stuff like a Pandora, X-911 and other multis but they're not green so they didn't fit the pic.

Hmm... that 300 is more of a forest green.

zup Jazz Ad!

I found a ax30b for sale(u$200) hir, in my country...
I already got some separedet stompboxes(pitch shifter, bass synth, compressor, equalizer, chorus and reverb)

But, i love bass effects and korg products...
Son i want change the synth for a good env.filter + od/fuzz... or bougth a multi effects for do that and much more...

ohh.. and i love this 90's visual!! i got a yamaha dr-10 drum machine, its look like the same

so, what think?

us$200 for an AX-30B is way too much. $100 should be the max if it's in perfect shape with box and manual.
It has killer filters and can fake synth tones the way you want with distortion+octave+filters. Some gadgets like the percussion effect are great for synth tones since you can add electronic drum sounds to your tone.

I know... 200 its too much, but this is the price for things like that in brazil

Example: a new zoom multieffects are all about that same price... or even more.
I aways hear that korg multi fx have good filters, but i will think a little bit more.

by the way... thanks

It's not green.

It's okay if it's not green. it is a korg. that's quite a collection you got there, jazz ad. korg makes awesome multi-effects processors.

i think i have an A4 in my closet. never figured it out. good synth sounds, you say?

i love the synth sounds on the AX3000B.. (i know its not green..) i wonder if theyre similar.
