Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars

it satisfies me :) but i wish it had a midi output for home recording
Sound
you can easily create the sound you want.FX variety is enough but there could be more combinations...and it doesnt make noise unless you want:) i play every kind of music(almost)and it helps me a lot.i use it at home , in studio , on stage , for home recording etc. and i havent had so many problems so far...
Quality
it is made of metal but the expression pedal's screws arent good enough...and the knobs can be easily pulled off.i have already lost one of them...
The Wow Factor
not too big , not too small... it looks sexy with the red lights on it (when the lights off)

"Best value for money for a professional/stand alone piece of equipmant."

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Liked most: The name....KORG, and ofcourse the amazing sound. Liked Least: Doesn't have a Panner.
Sound
Should improve upon Noise Reduction A scale of 1-10 is not enough. Panner(AX-300G) is absent, though stereo delay works quite well.
Features
Amp Simulation is really good along with a bunch of other Modulation/Ambience effects.
Quality
Nice finish, great body ;-), well built.
Value
Great value for money....no other processor in its class is so affordable.

"Very nice, affordable, fun"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This bad boy has kept me busy for many, many hours. I am in the process of getting a new one that I Have found to be better. but this sucker still kicks (Donkey)
Sound
Very good sound and very easy to use. It is durable and pretty tough. The knobs come off pretty easy and the pedal screws are not the greatist. but all in all a great buy
Features
I liked the features on this could have a little more but it is still a great pedal. I love the headphone jack on the back so I can jam at 3am when the wife and kids are sleeping. No need for Studio head phones or an amp for that matter. It does not loose its quality in the phones either.
Quality
Very tough. Mine has been through some tuff situations and made it out good. I love the Lights on it. Once again no need for lights when jamming at 3am. Very easy to see what program you are on while standing up playing in light or dark.
Value
It was a great buy for me, My wife got it for me for a Birthday.( she was tired of hearing me complain about my Lack of equiptment)
Manufacturer Support
I would give it a 10 because I have never needed support
The Wow Factor
Like I have said it is very nice. Lots of sounds and effects If I had to start all over again would I buy it right now.....Probably. With some of the new pedals out this one seems a bit Amature but it is still a great buy.

"My review about ax1500g"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Very good multi-effect processor.
Sound
It does somehow capture the sound it's modelling for. However, they should have named it after what it's modelling for.
Features
The feature of this product is top selling, it has separate channel switching so even if you change banks channel switching is accessable.
Quality
Made of thick metal body and hard plastic footswitches to comply with the chrome metal body.
Value
This thing is affordable.
Manufacturer Support
Havent dealt with them
The Wow Factor
Very good looking, not to over modeled like digitechs

"After a guitar and amp this is the most important piece of equipment you can own!"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I think I have covered my need for pedals with the AX1500. I am actually selling some of my old ones since I won't be using them anymore.
Sound
Has a sound to fit ANY musical style.
Features
I don't see myself exhausting the endless possibilities the AX1500 provides.
Quality
I have broken a few pedals in my day - this one is pretty tough. I don't treat it like it's made out of glass but I try to go easy on it just in case.
Value
The clerk at Guitar Center made a mistake in my favor and I got my pedal for $112 so I'm not complaining!
Manufacturer Support
Haven't needed any support yet so I have to say 10 on this point.

"Just what i NEEDED!"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Honestly. For a long time
Sound
For starters, it sounds better that i expected for this pedal cleans up your solos. I has some kind of effect that disguises some of your noise, scratches and stuff. I always tried to work on my playing, cleaning my stuff were really a headache. I had a Zoom 4040 and i was always comparing it with the amp's distortion which were always cleaner (meaning there were scratches and stuff thats really irritating). This one really is for me, i like it!
Features
I never really rely on effects and stuff, i just wanted a good tone. This one really has it. Cool thing thou, it's the metronome and the phrase trainer.
Quality
The quality is excellent. I accidentaly dropped the unit and it was still operational. Even the size of the pedal is perfect, you can buy laptop bags and they perfectly fit. I don't know how much laptop bags cost in other countries but here they are cheap!
Value
Worth every cent!
Manufacturer Support
Over the internet, they kinda lack that special info. The patches! If they could only update users on new patches, then this would be the best deal ever. Imaging if you could sound like the pros with just a multi pedal. We need support.

"All I'll ever need in a pedal!"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Sound
All the sounds I use especially the digital delay are EXCELLENT with one exception - the distortion had no guts. When set up at home or doing recording, it is fine, but when playing at a gig the sound "cancels out" and becomes almost inaudible - wierd. A total lack of boost. I have solved the problem by footswitching to the distort channel on my amp when I need this effect e.g a lead break.
Features
All the features I need.
Ease of Use
Takes a little while to master but it's actually all very logical when you think about it. I'm yet to master how to adjust the volumes of each bank individually. Despite each bank being set to a particular volume, they seem to default to the same value. A few words of advice! After setting each bank to your sound requirements, WRITE THEM DOWN and file them away with the manual for safekeeping. The unthinkable COULD happen where all your precious settings are deleted because of a power spike or theft. Do it now!
Quality
Excellent quality.
Value
Excellent value!
Manufacturer Support
Never required sevice.
The Wow Factor
All I've need in an effects unit. I use a multitude of settings at a gig, so there's no way I'd go back to crouching on the stage to continulally treakt single pedals!

"A mouthful for beginners like me...."

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars

I am still learning a lot about it....
Sound
Great tone... I can't play my guitar without running it through this.
Features
Really tough build... I like how they have knobs instead of buttons, gives you that single stompbox feel. A couple of the plastic parts fell off after 3 years of beating up, it still works like brand new.
Quality
It went through hell and back with me, yet, it is still standing strong.
Value
it was a lot more expensive back then... but its worth it.

never even thought about it...

"Perfect for starters"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
The ultimate multi-effects unit for starters. I believe that it is a must-have, though you might want to invest in good distortion units later on for use before the ax1500g.
Sound
On the upside, this multi effect is just perfect when it comes to its modulations, cabinets, pedal effects, and ambience. I especially love the Delay, Flanger, and Phaser. Use the Delay and Flanger, you get the liquid feel. Use the Delay with the Phaser, You get the fluid feel, just like Einziger's riff in "Nowhere Fast". All the other effects in the Modulation, Ambience, and Pedal effect blocks also sound great. However, In the Drive effect block, things begin to go down. The distortions available are too scratchy. It is hard to get the drive you want from it. Because of it I just use the Drive effect block as compression for the distortions I use before it.
Features
It offers the most common Modulations like choruses, phasers, delay, auto wah, tremolo, flanger, and the like. Also, the ambience (or the reverb) gives us distinct sounds of a room, a hall, or even a stadium. Each of these effects are also easily adjusted to our preferences. 8 Effects max at a time is pretty boring, though. (I don't even know how to get to 8. My maximum is 5)
Quality
The thing I like about it is that is is encased in metal. It protects the insides well unlike Zoom. I've never had a loose jack problem with this multi-effect. Also, I've had mine for almost a year, and my friend had hers for over 2 years now. We both haven't had problems yet.
Value
It is a cheap multi-effects unit in its class. It is a very good buy.
Manufacturer Support
I have'nt dealt with Korg yet.
The Wow Factor
I always wanted an ax1500g. However, I use it after a Boss DS-1 or A Digitech hothead, a Digitech Grunge, and an acoustic simulator. This way, my problems with the scratchy distortions the ax1500g are easily solved.

"stay away from this thing!"

Overall: 0.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Sound
sounds like it fell out of 1984. Very computer-like sounds, very unnatural. No sound I would actually use. Unit best for screwing around-poorly.
Features
some of the effects had no decernable difference eg: talk and traveller, whatever they are, sound the same. no compression?!? Supposedly has a tuner; could not figure out how to use. A manual would have helped.
Ease of Use
so terribly confusing to use. nothing makes sense. it keeps going into the banks. If you touch anyknob don't ever expect to get back to where you started. I't might have helped if my unit shipped with a manual.
Quality
seems well built except the level knob is acting up right out of the box. I like the chicken head knobs but there is not enough of a detent between selections. one has to hunt to feel it change positions
Value
I am returning this after less than an hour of use. Stay away from this thing!!! I was lured by the excellent price.
Manufacturer Support
not used...yet
The Wow Factor
the metal chassis is nice. that is the only complement I have.

"a can..."

Overall: 1 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
never go for the ``all in one pedals`` especially not for the cheap ones.It`s much better to buy a real pedal and be really happy with it.
Sound
the good thing about this processor is that it has plenty of options,the bad thing is-most of them sound bad.When I bought it I thought it was geat,but when I tried a real distortion pedal I realized dhe differene.This FX proc. is lifeless,the overall tone is a disaster for solos.Maby it`s not bad for strumming but when it comes to sweet solos you just can`t squeeze it out. It screams on highs, booms on lows,i couldn`t find the`warm tube-like sound`. The acoustic sim has an incredible amount of hiss and noise or I just got mine broken.
Features
lots of them. but most sound crappy and some are completely useless,like the wah (sounds terrible)or the ringmod.I liked only few distortions and some cab. simulations. the delay-reverb wasn`t so bad. but the rest sounds cheep and computer-like.
Ease of Use
I know this processor inside out. I can tell it`s easy to get all the sounds you don`t want.It`s easy to use it home but try to hit BANK DOWN (it takes 2 buttons at the same time) when you are on the stage playing...
Quality
Well` it is made of metall but inside it`s a tetris:)It let me down in the worst possible moment.Here`s the story:some of the knobs could touch the casing and during a live play(which was very loud),they started turning themselves because of the vibrations :) UNBELIEVEABLE!!! The `user-friendly editting` took care of the rest... In the middle of my solo the lavel jumped from 6 to 10 and the bass from 4 to 8... Do I have to say more?I guess they make it out of umbrellas or something:)
Value
A good thing if you`re an absolute beginner. Now I`m sorry i ever bought it,i could get some great pedals for the same monay.
The Wow Factor
never again
