2. Playing the AX1000G
Phrase Trainer mode
In this mode, you can record a phrase from an audio
device (CD or MD) connected to the AUX IN jack, and
play it back repeatedly as a loop. Then you can practice
a phrase on your guitar while listening to the repeating
phrase.
Since you can slow down the playback speed without
affecting the pitch, this is a convenient way to learn or
practice phrases from recordings that are difficult to play.
When you enter this mode, the MODULATION, PEDAL,
and AMBIENCE effect blocks will automatically be turned
off. (When you exit Phrase Trainer mode, the previous
settings will be restored.)
