Introducing the AX5G and AX5B modeling signal processors - two compact modeling effects processors with professional grade effects quality, a built-in expression pedal, and much more!

The AX5G and AX5B contain 58 modeling effects powered by Korg's proprietary "REMS" modeling technology, including a wide range of amps, cabinets, modulation, and delay/reverb. Not only do the AX5G and B pack a wide variety of essential effects into a compact processor, but they also boast the same quality of effects as our top-of-the-line AX3000G and AX3000B.

The AX5G and AX5B feature a built-in expression pedal that can be used to control volume, wah, or many other effect parameters, giving you a virtually limitless range of possibilities. With easy operation that will have even a beginner playing great sounds right away, a compact size that slips easily into the pocket of your gig bag, and the flexibility of battery-powered operation, these units make it easy for you to enjoy top-level guitar/bass sound in any situation.

  • 58 types of "REMS" modeling effect variations, with up to six simultaneous effects (including noise reduction) plus a volume pedal.
  • 16 drive/amp types and 10 cabinet types that simulate the sound of some of the most sought-after amps.
  • A wide range of effects with quality that rivals dedicated units.
  • Full parameter editing of all effects in four effect categories (pre-effect, drive/amp, modulation, delay/reverb).
  • An expression pedal that you can use to control volume, wah, or nearly any effect parameter, giving you a virtually limitless range of expressive potential.
  • 80 programs at your beck and call, with 40 presets and 40 user sound programs that can contain your favorite effect settings.
  • Built-in auto chromatic tuner.
  • Two-way power - use batteries or an AC adapter (sold separately).
