The AX3000G features an Expression Step Sequencer (abbreviated as ESS in this manual) that provides step control of a variety of effect parameters, giving you new possibilities of sounds that were unavailable until now.

The delayed sound can be maintained when you switch between programs that have the same delay type and TIME parameter settings. (The HOLD function of HOLD DELAY or the FREEZ function of the FREEZ effect assigned to the con- trol switch will be cancelled at this time.) Reverb can also be maintained when you switch between programs of the same reverb type.

The AX3000G provides a control switch that allows you to do things like set the delay time via TAP TEMPO, switch insert effects on/off, or switch the speed of a rotary speaker … again, must-have features for live performance.

An Auto Chromatic Tuner with a highly-visible LED indicator is built-in, letting you tune while bypassed or muted.

AUX IN jacks let you play along with the playback from a connected audio device.

S/P DIF optical output jack and MIDI IN/OUT jacks provide great potential for recording and expansion.

You can use the AX3000G Sound Editor editor/librarian software to visually edit the AX3000Gs numerous parameters, and to save programs. Contact a Korg service center for details on how to obtain this software and about its oper- ating requirements. You can download the software from the following website.

OUTPUT SETTINGS

OUTPUT SELECT FUNCTION

Heres where to specify whether youre connecting your AX3000G to a guitar amp or to a mixer/recorder. If youre connecting the output from a guitar amp model to the input jack of your guitar amp, you must make this setting so that the necessary compensation can be applied. The TUBE OD, BOUTIQUE OD, FAT DIST, ORANGE DIST, METAL DIST, SHRED DIST, FUZZ, and OCTAFUZZ drive models are not affected by this setting, since they dont require compensation. Likewise, this setting is not used if the drive/amp model is turned off.

1. Press the AMP/LINE button.

2. Use Value knob 1 or the / buttons to select the connection destination.

AP1: Choose this setting if youre connected to a clean-sounding amp such as an open-backed US-manufactured combo amp.

AP2: Choose this setting if youre connected to an amp with a distinctive- sounding mid-range such as a UK-manufactured open-back combo amp.

AP3: Choose this setting if youre connected to a stack with a closed-back 4 x 12 cabinet(s).

Ln: Choose this setting if youre using the line output (including S/P DIF OUT), connecting directly to a recorder or to the power amp input of your guitar amp.

If you select AP1, AP2, or AP3, the LCD display will show the to AMP portion of the OUTPUT icon . If you select Ln, the display will indicate to LINE.

NOTE: The amps mentioned above are general examples. The best setting may differ depending on the type of amp youre using, and how it is set.

BASIC CONNECTIONS 1. Use audio cables to connect the AX3000Gs OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks to

a mixer/recorder or guitar amp (p.14). If desired, you can also connect an external effect processor. To do this simply connect SEND to the input of your external processor, and RETURN to the output of your external processor.

NOTE: If youre making connections in mono, use the OUTPUT L/MONO jack. However to take full advantage of your AX3000G, we strongly recommend that you use stereo connections.

OPERATIONS IN INDIVIDUAL MODE

As an example, heres how to switch the pre-effect and reverb on/off while youre playing.

1. If the Bank Up switch LED is dark, youre in Program Select mode. Press and hold the Bank Up switch for about one second; youll enter Individual mode, and the LED above the Bank Up switch will light green. Program LEDs 14 and the LED at the upper left of the Bank Down switch will be lit green or dark to indicate the on/off status of the pre-effect, drive/amp model, modulation effect, delay effect, and reverb effect respectively.

2. Press the program select switch 1 to turn the pre-effect on/off. The LED 1 lit/ dark state indicates the on/off status of the pre-effect.

3. Press the Bank Down switch to turn the reverb on/off. The LED at the upper left of the Bank Down switch will be lit or dark to indicate the reverbs on/off state.

4. To exit Individual mode, press the Bank Up switch and the green LED will go dark (not lit)

ACTIVATING OR DEACTIVATING THE KEY LOCK FUNCTION Heres how you can use the Key Lock function to disable the AX3000Gs buttons, selectors, and knobs so they cant be accidentally changed during a live perfor- mance.

NOTE: While the Key Lock function is activated, you wont be able to operate any controls except for the switches, pedals and the EXIT button.

NOTE: The Key Lock setting is cancelled when you turn off the power; it will be dis- abled when you turn on the power once again.

ACTIVATING THE KEY LOCK FUNCTION

1. If the name display shows anything other than a program name, or if the char- acters of the program name are blinking, press the EXIT button.

2. With the program name shown in the name display, press and hold the EXIT button for at least one second. The name display will indicate KEY LOCK for one second, and then the value knob LEDs will go dark.

DEACTIVATING THE KEY LOCK FUNCTION

1. If the name display shows anything other than a program name, press the EXIT button.

2. Press and hold the EXIT button for at least one second. The name display will indicate LOCK OFF for one second, and the Key Lock function will be disabled.

press the CABINET button once again to turn it off; the icon will disappear from the LCD display.

6. Press the NR/PROG LVL button, and adjust NR SENS (value knob 4) so that you dont hear noise when youre not playing your guitar. The effect will become stronger as you increase the noise reduction setting (0.2, 0.410.0). If this is off, no noise reduction is applied.

HINT: Depending on the guitar youre using, raising the noise reduction excessively may cause notes to be cut off prematurely or to be delayed. Adjust the setting so that your playing doesnt feel unnatural.

7. In each section, choose the effect you want to use. For example if you want to add spring reverb, use the REVERB selector to select SPRING.

HINT: At this time, the reverb model will automatically be turned on, and the LEDs below the value knobs for each reverb parameter will light. For example, the param- eters for SPRING are TIME, LO DAMP, HI DAMP, PRE DELAY, and MIX, which are controlled by value knobs 15 respectively.

8. To adjust the reverb mix amount, use value knob 5 which controls the MIX parameter. In the same way for PRE FX, MODULATION, and DELAY effects, use the selector to choose an effect and the value knobs to adjust the parameters.

9. If you want to use an externally-connected processor as an insert effect, press the INSERT button to turn on the signal route to the external device.

HINT: In some cases, it may be easier to adjust PRE FX or an insert effect while listening to the original sound unprocessed by the modulation, delay, and reverb effects. When using PRE FX or an insert effect, make the desired amp and cabinet settings rst, and then adjust your PRE FX or insert effect settings before the remaining effects.

NOTE: For some models, the name of the parameter will differ from the names printed in the parameter lines of the edit section. The actual name is shown in the display when you turn the value knob. For details on the parameters, refer to Explanations of the Effect Types on p.23.

10. Press the NR/PROG LVL button, and adjust PROG LVL (value knob 5) so that the volume is consistent with other programs. Some effect settings may cause clipping (distortion) to occur, so lower the PROG LVL if this happens.

NOTE: The factory program level setting is 5.0.

11. If you want to continue making adjustments, simply press the select button for the model you want to edit, and turn the value knobs.

RESTORING A SETTING TO ITS ORIGINAL VALUE (ORIGINAL VALUE) The Original Value icon in the value display gives you a way to find out the parameter values that are stored in a program. When you are using a knob or button to change the value of a parameter, the ORIG (original value) icon will appear when the value you are adjusting matches the original value stored in the program.

HINT: So, youre ipping through the programs on your new AX3000G, and you come across one you really like. Its easy to nd out exactly what settings are dialed in to get such an awesome tone just use this Original Value display fea- ture!

3. Tune your guitar while watching the tuner display or the meter in the name dis- play.

4. When youve nished tuning, press the EXIT/TUNE button once again or press any desired program select switch.

HINT: If you exit the Tuner by pressing a program select switch, this will also switch to the program you selected.

CALIBRATING THE TUNER When you switch the AX3000G on, the built-in tuner is automatically calibrated to A=440 Hz (a.k.a. concert pitch). If desired, you can recalibrate the tuner in the range of A = 438 Hz445 Hz.

While the tuner is active, the value display shows the frequency of the reference pitch. You can use the / buttons to calibrate this in the range of 438 Hz445 Hz.

HINT: If youve recalibrated the tuner, remember that the setting will be automati- cally reset to 440 Hz the next time you turn your AX3000G on.

The pitch is flat The pitch is correct The pitch is sharp

CONTROL switch ROT SPD If you select ROT SPD as the CONTROL switch setting, the rotation speed will alter- nate between SLOW/FAST (SPEED 1/ SPEED 2) each time you press the CON- TROL switch. This lets you control the effect just as on an actual rotary speaker. (p.43 Control switch settings)

11. TALK MOD This is an envelope controlled talking modulator. The vocal character will change according to the input from your guitar.

HINT: If you assign the MANUAL knob to the expression pedal, youll be able to control the vowel sound from the pedal. In this case, DEPTH (value knob 1) will have no effect.

E. DELAY EFFECTS Here you can select one of 11 delay-type effects.

*: This indicates a parameter that you can control from the expression pedal.

1. ECHO PLUS This models one of the most respected analogue tape echo machines ever made. In the original, the echo is produced by a playback head and the exact delay time is set by varying the motor speed. Many professionals prefer these lo- units because of the warm, dark echoes they produce.

2. MULTI HEAD (MULTI HD) This is a model of a tape echo unit boasting three playback heads. The echo from each head (A, B, C) has its own feedback loop, letting you create warm and com- plex multitap echo effects.

6. 2TAP DELAY (2TAP DLY) This is a multi-tap delay that models the Korg DL8000R digital multi-tap delay unit. Two delays with differing delay times are assigned to L and R, turning a mono input into stereo. This can also be used as a ping-pong delay.

7. CROSS DELAY (CROSS DL) This models a Korg DL8000R delay unit set to cross-feedback between LR and RL.

HINT: Ducking is an effect that automatically lowers the volume of the delay sound when you play your guitar loudly; this lets the phrase you play come through more clearly.

8. RHYTHM DELAY (RHYTM DL) This provides a DL8000R function in which the TIME of two DELAY taps is auto- matically set according to the RHYTHM you specify.

[1] TIME 12700[ms] Sets the delay time. [2] FEEDBACK 0.010.0 * Adjusts the amount of feedback. [3] TONE 1.010.0 * Adjusts the tone of the delay. [4] TAP TIME 0.010.0 Species the right delay time as a proportion of

F. REVERB EFFECTS Here you can select one of 11 reverb-type effects.

*: This indicates a parameter that you can control from the expression pedal.

NOTE: This table applies to the following 11 reverb effects.

1. SLAP This models the reverb of a very small space with short reverberation.

2. SPRING A model of the spring reverb system used in guitar amps ideal for surf music!

3. BOUNCE This models a spring reverb that produces a higher-density reverberation.

4. PLATE This models a type of reverb unit that works by vibrating a metal plate instead of a spring. It is adjusted to a fairly short reverb time. This reverberation is character- ized by a rapid attack, and is suitable for percussive playing.

5. GARAGE This reverb models the dense reverberation typical of a garage.

6. CHAMBER This reverb model was captured by placing a speaker and mic in an echo chamber (a specially-designed room used in the past by recording studios). This model reproduces the reverberation of a mild-sounding echo chamber.

7. CANYON This reverb model produces the type of reverberation that is characteristic of a canyon.

[1] TIME 1.010.0 * Sets the reverb time. The relation between this setting and the actual length of reverberation will differ depending on the reverb type.

[6] MIX 0.010.0 * Adjusts the mix amount of the reverb.

Using the expression pedal to control parameters

EXPRESSION PEDAL SETTINGS The AX3000G provides a built-in expression pedal that you can use to control not only wah or volume, but a wide variety of effect parameters. For each program, you can specify which effect will be controlled, and how. The effect to which the expression pedal is assigned can be switched on/off by advancing the expression pedal all the way forward to operate the switch located under the pedal. The expression pedal LED will be lit or dark to indicate the on/off status of the effect.

NOTE: If youre using the expression pedal as a volume pedal, the LED will light amber. In this case, the switch located under the pedal has no effect. If youre using the expression pedal to control another parameter, the LED will light green.

HINT: If youve assigned a parameter to the expression pedal, operating the pedal has the same result as using the knob to edit the program. This means that when you operate the pedal, the EDIT icon will light. When you write the program, it will be written with the sound as currently specied by the position of the pedal. How- ever if the expression target is —OFF—, VOLUME, M/PITCH, D/INPUT, or R/ INPUT, the program will not be edited by the pedal.

EXPRESSION TARGET QUICK ASSIGN

Heres a very easy and convenient way to set the expression target.

As an example, use the MODULATION selector to choose PITCH SHIFTER. So that the effect will be easy to hear, well initialize the PITCH SHIFTER. If PITCH SHIFTER is already selected, turn the selector to choose a different effect, and then re-select PITCH SHIFTER.

When youre editing PITCH SHIFTER, turn value knob 1 or use the / buttons to make the name display show PITCH; the icon will appear. If in this state you press and hold (for one second) the EXP/CTL button, the name display will indicate COMPLETE. The PITCH parameter has now been assigned to the expression pedal, letting you control the amount of PITCH SHIFT. At this time, the

icon will appear in the LCD display. If you want to make more detailed set- tings, you can press the EXP/CTL button and set the minimum value (EXP MIN, value knob 2) and maximum value (EXP MAX, value knob 3) of the target range.

NOTE: If you change the effect type of a parameter that is assigned to the expres- sion target (i.e., to be controlled by the expression pedal), the target will be initial- ized to a setting of —OFF—. (However, D/INPUT, R/INPUT are exceptions.)

HINT: If youve selected VOX WAH as the pre-effect type, P/MANUAL (wah posi- tion) is automatically assigned to the expression pedal. In this case if you change the pre-effect back to another type without performing any other operation, the Tar- get, Min, and Max settings will automatically revert to their previous state. However if a pre-effect parameter was the target, it will be set to —OFF— rather than revert to its previous state.

The expression pedal target is indicated as follows.

*/######

*: Target category

######: Target parameter

Examples

In addition to the examples weve shown here, a wide variety of expression tar- gets provided for each effect model can be freely assigned to the expression pedals.

If desired, you can make more detailed settings.

NOTE: For —OFF—, VOLUME, M/PITCH, D/INPUT, and R/INPUT, operat- ing the expression pedal does not edit the parameter.

4. Turn value knob 2 to make the name display read EXP MIN. Here you can specify the PITCH value for when the pedal is at the minimum position (pedal back). Use value knob 2 or the / buttons to adjust the setting.

5. Turn value knob 3 to make the name display read EXP MAX. Here you can specify the PITCH value for when the pedal is at the maximum position (pedal forward). Use value knob 3 or the / buttons to adjust the setting.

When you operate the expression pedal, the target parameter will change within the range you specied here.

NOTE: When you change the expression target, the MIN and MAX values will be initialized.

6. Press the EXIT switch to return to the mode you were in.

NOTE: The changes you make will not be preserved in the internal memory unless you store the program.

—OFF— — OFF (controls nothing) VOLUME — Volume pedal P/DIRECT — DIRECT (mix amount of original sound)

for a pre-effect (e.g., OCTAVE) M/SPEED — (*: M (modulation)) SPEED of a modulation effect D/INPUT — (*: D (delay)) Input level of a delay effect R/MIX — (*: R (reverb)) MIX (mix amount of reverb sound) of a

reverb effect A/GAIN — (*: A (drive/amp)) GAIN of drive/amp model

NOTE: ESS CTL2, ESS TAP1, ESS TAP2, and ESS TRIG will do nothing if ESS is turned off.

NOTE: For ESS TAP1 and ESS TAP2, the CONTROL switch LED will blink at the specied tempo.

NOTE: The maximum tap interval is 10 seconds.

ADJUSTING THE SENSITIVITY OF THE PEDAL If you notice that advancing the AX3000Gs expression pedal does not reach the full effect or volume even when the Min and Max parameters are set to the minimum and maximum settings, or that returning the expression pedal does not reach the minimum effect or volume, you will need to perform the following adjustment so that the AX3000Gs expression pedal will be able to reach its full range of operation.

NOTE: When adjusting the sensitivity, you should use your hand to operate the pedal. Accurate adjustment may not be possible if you use your foot.

1. Turn the power OFF.

2. While holding down the EXP/CTL button and the button, turn the power on. The name display indicates EXP MAX.

3. Slowly return the expression pedal toward yourself (pedal back), and take your hand off the pedal when it stops.

NOTE: If you decide to cancel the calibration procedure, press the EXIT button.

4. Press the WRITE button. The name display indicates EXP MIN.

5. Slowly advance the expression pedal away from yourself (pedal forward), and take your hand off the pedal when it stops.

6. Press the WRITE button. The name display will indicate COMPLETE for one second, and then the AX3000G will return to normal operation. If the sensitivity could not be adjusted correctly, the name display will indicate ERROR, and will then continuously indicate EXP MAX. Repeat the procedure from step 3.

NOTE: If you are still unable to adjust the sensitivity after repeated attempts, it is possible that the AX3000G has malfunctioned. Please contact a nearby dealer.

HINT: In the ESS display, a corresponding number of LEDs 18 will light green to indicate the last step you specify here.

NOTE: If you selected a 1 shot mode (*-#1), the parameter will return to the value specied by the setting of the effect when the steps have been completed.

HINT: When setting the STEP, you can use the / buttons to move through steps 18, and the / buttons to edit the value at each step.

SPECIFYING THE TARGET PARAMETER CONTROLLED BY ESS Specify the target parameter controlled by ESS in the same way that you specify the target parameter controlled by the expression pedal.

HINT: For details, refer to Expression pedal settings on p.40.

If a target parameter is already assigned to the expression pedal, that target parameter will be controlled (by the sequencer).

EXAMPLE ESS SETTINGS

In this example, well assume that youve made expression pedal settings to assign the PITCH parameter of the PITCH SHIFTER as the target parameter. Before you continue, assign the PITCH parameter of the PITCH SHIFTER as the target parameter for the expression pedal (see p.40).

1. Press the EXP STEP SEQ button to activate ESS.

2. Set value knob 1 SPEED to PEdL; this will stop the sequencer.

3. Use value knob 3 to specify how the sequencer will operate. For this example, choose 8-A. so that the sequencer will cycle through steps 18 and then 81.

4. Specify the value for each step. First use value knob 4 to set STEP to 1, and then use value knob 5 to specify a VALUE of 0.

5. Repeat the above action for each step 2 through 8, and set these steps to val- ues of 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 12 respectively.

6. When youve nished making settings, try turning value knob 4. Relative to the pitch of your guitar sound, the pitch will change in a sequence of C, D, E, F, G, A, B, and C.

7. Use value knob 1 to adjust the SPEED; the sequencer will run. The eight ESS display LEDs located at the left of the pedal will light red in synchronization with the sequencer.

4-A1 (4 step alternate, 1-shot)

Advance from step 1 to step 4, then back to step 1 and stop. (1234321)

4-A.1 (4 step alternate 2, 1-shot)

Advance from step 1 to step 4, then back to step 1 and stop. (12344321)

[4], [5] STEP 18 Use value knob 4 to specify the step that you want to edit, and use value knob 5 to specify the value at that step.

Control via MIDI IDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and is a world-wide standard for exchanging various types of musical data between electronic musical instruments and computers. When MIDI cables are used to con-

nect two or more MIDI devices, performance data can be exchanged between the devices, even if they were made by different manufacturers.

The AX3000G can use MIDI to communicate in the following ways with another MIDI device. You can:

Operate the AX3000G to switch programs on an external MIDI device, or switch the AX3000Gs programs from an external MIDI device. Program change

Operate a connected optional foot controller to control an external MIDI device, or use an external MIDI device to control the AX3000Gs volume or effects. Control change

Use the Sound Editor to edit parameters. Parameter change Backup (save) and restore (load) the AX3000G program data. Backing up

and restoring program data

NOTE: In order to do the above things, you need to use a MIDI cable to connect the AX3000G and your external MIDI device, and set the MIDI channels appropri- ately. Connecting a MIDI device or computer, Setting the MIDI channel

NOTE: If your external MIDI device does not recognize certain types of MIDI mes- sages, those messages cannot be used for control. Check the MIDI implementa- tion chart of the AX3000G and of your external MIDI device.

CONNECTING A MIDI DEVICE OR COMPUTER If you want to control an external MIDI device from the AX3000G, connect a MIDI cable from the AX3000Gs MIDI OUT jack to the MIDI IN jack of your external MIDI device. If you want to control the AX3000G from a MIDI sequencer or other external MIDI device, connect a MIDI cable from your external MIDI devices MIDI OUT jack to the AX3000Gs MIDI IN jack. When you connect the AX3000G to a MIDI sequencer or sound editor, data will normally be sent in both directions, so you will need to connect MIDI cables from the AX3000Gs MIDI OUT jack to the external MIDI devices MIDI IN jack and then from the devices MIDI OUT jack to AX3000Gs MIDI IN jack.

3. Specify whether all control change messages will be transmitted or received. Use value knob 1 or the / buttons to make your choice. On allows transmitting and receiving. OFF disables transmitting and receiv- ing.

NOTE: If this setting is OFF, no control change messages will be transmitted or received even if you specify individual control change numbers in step 4.

4. Simultaneously press both / buttons to access the screen where you can set control numbers individually. Use the / buttons to select each control- ler.

The controllers will be selected in the following order.

5. For each controller, specify whether the AX3000G will transmit and receive con- trol change messages. If you want the AX3000G to transmit and receive mes- sages for a controller, specify the control change number. Select a controller, and use value knob 1 or the / buttons to make the desired setting.

OFF: Control change messages will not be transmitted or received.

CC00CC95: When you operate a controller, messages of the specied control change number 0095 will be transmitted. Similarly, the AX3000G will be controlled when it receives messages of the same control change number from an external MIDI device.

6. To return to the screen where you specify transmit or receive for all control change messages, press both / buttons simultaneously.

PARAMETER CHANGE (GLOBAL SYEX OUT) When you operate the AX3000Gs knobs or buttons to edit the value of a parame- ter, system exclusive such as parameter changes are transmitted. If you want the AX3000Gs parameters to be transmitted to an external device, turn the SYEX OUT setting On. Normally, you will turn SYEX OUT on when using the Sound Editor. This setting species whether the AX3000G will transmit parameter changes.

1. Press the GLOBAL button.

2. Press the / buttons to make the name display read SYEX OUT.

6. Press the AX3000Gs WRITE button to begin transmitting. When transmitting is completed, the display will indicate COMPLETE, and you will return to the screen of step 4. (While DUMP ALL is being transmitted, the display will indi- cate SEND.)

NOTE: While data is being transmitted, do not touch the buttons or knobs of the AX3000G or its foot controller, and never turn off the power.

RESTORING

1. Connect the transmitting devices MIDI OUT to the AX3000Gs MIDI IN.

2. Set the transmitting MIDI device and the AX3000G to the same MIDI channel. If the AX3000G will be receiving data that was previously transmitted to the external MIDI device, select the same MIDI channel as was used when trans- mitting.

3. Transmit the data dump from the external device. While the AX3000G is receiving all data, its display will indicate RECEIVE. When reception has been successfully completed, it will indicate COM- PLETE. If an error occurs, the display will indicate ERROR; in this case, try transmitting the data again.

NOTE: For details, refer to the owners manual of the device that will be transmit- ting the data dump.

NOTE: While data is being transmitted, dont touch the AX3000Gs buttons, pedals, or knobs, and never turn off the power.

4. If you received data for a single program, select the save-destination bank and program, and save the data. (p.19)

NOTE: The program data will not be written into the AX3000Gs program memory unless you store it.

HINT: If the AX3000G receives all data, all of its data will be overwritten automati- cally. However, the data currently being edited (i.e., the edit buffer) will not be affected.

Troubleshooting f you suspect a malfunction, please check the following points rst. If this does not resolve the problem, please contact your dealer or Korg authorized service center.

1. Power does not turn on Is the AC adapter connected to the rear panel DC9V jack? Is the AC adapter plugged into an AC outlet? Could the AC adapter be damaged?

2. Theres no sound Is your guitar turned up? Are both ends of your guitar cable plugged into the correct jacks? Is your guitar cable working? Could the rear panel OUTPUT LEVEL knob be turned down? Check the GAIN, VOLUME, TREBLE, MIDDLE, BASS, and PROG LVL settings.

For some amp types, you might not hear any sound if the TREBLE, MIDDLE, and BASS settings are turned down just like the circuitry on the original amp!

Are there any effects turned down in volume? Could an expression pedal be at the minimum position with a parameter such

as DRIVE, LEVEL assigned to it? Could you have activated the Mute function? Defeat the Mute function as

explained in Tuner (Bypass, Mute) on p.21.

3. You cant hear any effects even though theyre dialed in… Are the effect LEDs lit?

If an LED is dark, the corresponding effect is off. Press the category select button to turn on the effect.

Could the modulation DEPTH or the delay/reverb MIX be set to a low value? Use the category select switch to select the effect, and turn the appropriate value knobs to adjust the parameters.

Could the effect be bypassed? Defeat the Bypass function as explained in Tuner (Bypass, Mute) on p.21.

4. Youre using the ACOUSTIC pedal effect and getting high frequency distortion.

Could the Drive setting be excessively high? Are you using a very high output humbucking pickup?

Either turn down the volume of your guitar, the Amp GAIN or Treble setting for the pedal.
