Korg AX3000B Bass Effects

Introducing the new Korg AX3000B, a multi-effects modeling signal processor created solely for bass effects offering heavyweight features including our REMS modeling technology and a unique Expression Step Sequencer.

Now bassists can take total control as well with the AX3000B, a dedicated modeling signal processor for bass with the astounding sound quality only delivered by Korg's unique REMS modeling technology. Packed not only with new capabilities like the very cool ESS (Expression Step Sequencer) function, but also with numerous effects specifically optimized for bass, the Korg AX3000B provides a full complement of the controls you need for real-time performances.

From vintage through high-end amps sought-after by bassists, and from standard effects through a bass synthesizer model, "REMS" technology delivers a staggering range of realistic and versatile bass effects, offering full control by using the expression pedal or the control switch. The AX3000B's total of 72 effects includes both original and standard effect varieties.

The sixteen drive/amp models include fat-sounding tube sounds, ultra-low bottom-end sounds, clean sounds and many more. Pre-effects, cabinets, modulation effects, delay effects and reverb effects (eleven types each!) cover not only standard bass effects such as compressor, limiter, wah, flanger, and chorus, but also unique and distinctive bass effects.

The Korg AX3000B comes with 32 preset programs covering a wide range of sounds. You can use the ESS expression pedal or a control switch to vary the ESS speed in real time. The "AX3000B Sound Editor" editor/librarian software lets you graphically view the many parameters of the AX3000B and easily edit them, as well as save and organize programs.
