From Our Research Team:

Take Your Bass to a Whole New Place!

Hey bass players! Korg's ToneWorks introduces a dedicated processor for bass - the AX3000B Modeling Signal Processor. The AX3000B integrates Korg's exclusive REMS (Resonant Electronic Modeling System) technology with extensive control possibilities plus performance and studio-oriented features. A familiar knob-based user interface provides easy access to all the AX3000B's functions, and a backlit LCD ensures visibility even under difficult lighting conditions. An expression pedal and breakthrough Expression Step Sequencer further add to the unit's capabilities.

Korg AX3000B Bass Modeling Processor at a Glance:
  • Tons of tonal variety with 72 amp, cab, and effects models
  • Includes distinctive pitch shift, fretless, and synth effects
  • Real-time control of effect parameters
  • Unique Expression Step Sequencer provides 8-step parameter control

Tons of tonal variety with 72 amp, cab, and effects models
The AX3000B combines signal and effects processing with the latest innovations in bass amp and speaker cabinet modeling. A total of 72 ultra-realistic amp, cabinet and effects processor models are available, covering everything from hard-to-find vintage amps through modern high-end units. Included are 16 types of drive and amp models for clean sounds, vintage tube warmth or ultra-low bottom-end, as well as 11 types each of pre-effects, cabinet, modulation, delay and reverb effects (plus Noise Reduction). The AX3000B includes 32 factory presets, with space for 96 user presets.

Includes distinctive pitch shift, fretless, and synth effects
The AX3000B provides standard effects such as compressor, limiter, wah, flanger, and chorus, in addition to unique and distinctive effects such as a pitch shifter with a range of two octaves up or down, a fretless effect that simulates the sound of a fretless bass, and even a synth effect that produces the sound of an analog bass synth. The AX3000B also incorporates send/return jacks for users to easily connect to their favorite stomp box or rack effect unit.

Real-time control of effect parameters
The Korg AX3000B's assignable control switch can be used to turn each effects block on and off and to control effects parameters in real time. The expression pedal, with 8-point LED indicator, can be used in a variety of ways, from standard volume and wah control functions to effects parameter control.

Unique Expression Step Sequencer provides 8-step parameter control
The AX3000B's unique new Expression Step Sequencer automatically controls most effect parameters in a fixed or random step function. Users can assign up to eight steps of effect parameter values in the step sequencer, and specify one of seven ways in which the sequencer will play back these steps, including Forward, Backward, Alternate and Random. This allows you to use the AX3000B to create wild new sounds with complex movement.

A bass amp/line output selector maximizes the AX3000B's output under various acoustic conditions. Additional features include an auto-chromatic tuner with mute function; S/PDIF digital output; Key Lock function for preventing accidental control changes; AUX IN; and MIDI in/out, enabling you to edit and store original sounds on a Mac or Windows computer using the free AX3000B Sound Editor software. A heavy-duty metal chassis rounds out the feature set.


Korg AX3000B Bass Modeling Processor Features:
  • Korg's REMS modeling technology delivers 72 realistic classic and modern amp, cabinet and effects models
  • Assignable control switch and expression pedal with 8 point LED pedal indicator for real-time parameter control
  • New ESS (Expression Step Sequencer) automatically controls most effect parameters in a fixed or random step function that can create radical sound changes
  • 16 types of drive and amp models cover everything from vintage overdrive to high-gain metal
  • 11 types of pre-effect, cabinet, modulation, delay and reverb modeled effects deliver a broad sound palette
  • 32 preset programs are provided, plus the internal memory can hold 96 of your own original programs
  • Send/return jacks let you connect your favorite pedal or other effect unit
  • MIDI In/Out allows you to edit and store original sounds on your computer using the dedicated editor/librarian software (Windows and Macintosh)
  • Up to seven effects can be used simultaneously

Music Background: professional session player.
I just purchased the Korg AX3000B, first off let start by saying that this was my first purchase from Sweetwater, and I am very happy with the service I recieved, I called customer service to inquire ... read more [+]more about this product and spoke to a very kind and very, very, helpful man named Kieth, I orderdd this on monday late afternoon, Kieth told me he would ship it out that night and that I recieve it on wendsday, and shure enough it was here on wensday afternoon,I will be purchaseing alot more things from Sweetwater, The AX3000B is very nice and more importantly very user friendly, even for the extremely technologically challanged like my self, the effects are very nice, although I dont really use alot of effects, I do session work and play 15 different basses so it is more for the amp and cabinet modeling that I choose to purchase this, I like to have alot of my tones and sounds pre programed so all I have to do is just hita a certain band and channel in order to get my sound for wahtever the chosen bass is that I am useing at that time and not have to waste alot of precioius time fooling around trying to find the right tone, I had bought the Line6 floor pod xt live a few weeks back and found it to be more frustraiting to use and program, very user unfriendly, so I returned it to the other big music outlet that I purchased it from, I recomend this unit very highly it is very easy to use and it delivers, I also recomend Sweetwater to all looking to purchase thier next musical need, so far I am very impressed with them. close [-]

Extraordinary Piece Of Equipment

This multi-effects unit has every sound you could possibly need or want. You have so much control over each of the effects. It is almost 20 inches wide and weighs almost 8 pounds. It is well built, al... read more [+]l metal casing. The knobs are not made to take abuse, meaning you should not use your foot to turn any of the knobs. Reading the manual is highly recommended. You must be patient when learning how to use the AX3000B, then you will reap the mastery of all the great sounding effects. close [-]

Pro-Features Garage Band Price

Music Background: Live sound / Bass and Guitar Player 20+ yrs
Ive had my AX3000B for over a year and I have to say for the money... you can't beat this thing. If your looking a multi-FX unit that has multiple channels and four completely different programs on ea... read more [+]ch channel; that you can turn individual FXs off/on; has an expression pedal;sequencer and MIDI control. Then look no further... you will be amazed what their giving you to work with. All the models/patches for amps/speakers, modulation fx, reverbs ect. their all very indepth. In fact I would have to say that the only big draw back for some people, would be learning how to custom program this thing. That said, are their other issues? Yeah, if you're ruff with your gear/ this is not for you. Also like most multi-fx units some fx models are good and some stink;but if you dont like the distortion or what-ever, you can still loop in your favorite pedal board to augment...it has provision for that too. SO... KEEP ON ROCKIN' and if somebody swipes it? Your not out a months pay... close [-]

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
