Numerous Built-in Effects Using 'REMS' Deliver the Acoustic Sounds You Want
Built into the AX10A are numerous effects powered by Korg's amazingly accurate 'REMS' modeling technology and optimized for acoustic sounds. These include standard effects such as compressor and limiter, ambience effects such as echo, delay, and reverb, as well as chorus. You can take advantage of a wide range of creative sound-making potential without impairing your natural acoustic sound.

Body & Mic Modeling Effect Simulates Body Resonances and Micing
The built-in Body effect simulates the sonic character produced by the body resonances of famous acoustic guitars. From great names of the past to new cutting-edge brands, the subtle differences in sound arising from the body structure and size of numerous guitars have been modeled in precise detail. While piezo output can tend to have a somewhat sterile character, the Body effect produces a richer and more natural sound by adding the resonances of the wood and body that are typical of an acoustic guitar. Unique types such as the distinctive sound of a resonator guitar and the sound of nylon strings can also be simulated. You can play all these types of acoustic sounds from just one single electric-acoustic guitar!

There's also a built-in Mic effect that simulates the sense of 'air' and space that you get when you mic an acoustic guitar. With the AX10A, it's easy for anyone to get the sound of mic-ing techniques that would otherwise require years of experience and knowledge. You can enjoy rich, full acoustic sounds even with a direct-line connection.

Eighty Preset Programs
40 preset programs cover a wide range of genres, playing styles, and situations. You can store 40 more user programs, giving you a total of 80 programs to choose from.

Expression Pedal for Real-time Control of Notch Filter or Other Parameters
You can use the built-in expression pedal to control the volume or a variety of effects, including the notch filter. You can obtain a wide range of expressive possibilities by using the pedal to adjust the depth of chorus, delay, or reverb in real time. If you assign the pedal to control the notch filter, you'll be able to find the feedback point while holding your guitar in a standing position. This means that you can eliminate feedback under various conditions when performing live on stage.

Tuner and Other Support Functions
The AX10A provides a full range of support functions, including an Auto Chromatic Tuner. Its intuitive knob-based interface and easily understandable panel layout make it simple for you to create your own sounds. The AX10A's compact design and its ability to operate on battery power make it portable and convenient for all types of situations.
