Korg AX3A

AX3A description:

The Korg AX3A electro-acoustic model makes it easy to enjoy high-quality acoustic sounds.

The Korg AX3A is a dedicated model for electric-acoustic guitars. It provides a wide range of effects powered by "REMS" technology, including mic and body effects optimized for acoustic sounds, letting you transform the sometimes sterile-sounding output of a piezo pickup into a natural and mellow tone, and making it easy to perform with a wonderfully detailed acoustic sound. There's a built-in notch filter effect that cuts the point at which acoustic feedback occurs, giving this unit wide usefulness not only for practicing at home, but also for recording and in live performances.

The Korg AX3A contains a wide-ranging variety of effects powered by "REMS" modeling technology and taken from the AX series. In addition to compressor and limiter, and the other standard effects you expect, they include several types of stereo chorus, spatial-type effects such as echo, delay, and reverb, as well as unusual and distinctive effects such as a drone effect that adds a tamboura-like drone to your playing. You can create a wide variety of your own sounds without impairing the natural tone of your acoustic instrument.

Up to seven different "REMS" modeling effects can be used simultaneously, and internal memory will accept 40 programs you create using these effects. Another 40 preset programs covering a wide range of styles are also provided, giving you 80 programs for immediate selection. The AX3A contains a notch filter effect that is exactly what you need to combat acoustic feedback. You can use it to quickly and precisely cut the precise frequency point at which feedback is happening, ensuring that you'll be able to perform with the best possible sound.
