AX1G/AX1B

Signal Processors

Toneworks

ToneWorks AX1G and AX1B Hyperperformance Processors are foot pedal systems with a difference: they combine up to 69 carefully selected effects (up to seven simultaneously). Both the AX1G and AX1B feature a foot-operated expression pedal that lets the player control their sound to a new degree. It can be used as a wah or volume pedal and can freely control a wide range of signal processing effects, including bends, pitch, delay and tremolo. In addition, the expression pedal also controls the unique Sample & Play function of the AX1G and AX1B. This feature allows musicians to record and play back a phrase or solo part even as they continue to play new parts. The sampled sound can be played back or modified for new effects, including forward/reverse playback; looping sounds to any length of time specified; and continuous layering, allowing doubling and harmony parts. Both the AX1G and AX1B will be available in September and each carry a suggested list price of $199. ToneWorks, 316 South Service Rd., Melville, NY 11747
