History:
Purchase: i paid $150 for this multi-effects processor at a sam ash music store near my house. i bought it because i needed something to compliment the new guitar i had bought. i figured i would save some money and still get value by going with korg.
What I Like About This Unit: when i first purchased it i enjoyed the wide range of amp models. i also enjoyed the edit function, sample mode, and expression pedal.
What I Do NOT Like About The Korg AX100G: all the amp models and effects have a weird echo noise that comes out of the amp...the effects sound muffled in a way, and you are forced to turn up your volume to compete with it. while there are numerous effects that can be useful, many are pointless. ringman serves no function at all, and many of the amp models sound very similar. the manual is also very complicated, and the edit function takes a long looong time to perfect. switching between effects also becomes a problem when going from clean to distortion, and volume controls become a hassle while some distortions are softer than others, and some cleans are louder than others.
AX100G Quality: its made of some sort of plastic, it seems to be durable but who knows? i would have been much more comfortable with a metal, so i dont feel like im gonna break it when i use it.
Summary: bottom line, buy a single pedal that does what you want or go with a top name like BOSS for a multi-effects pedal. i definitely didnt find this pedal to be worth 200 dollars (unit price), and i would probably spend a max of 50 for it.

Great effects processor for the price. I also play on a Digitech GNX2 which does have more buttons to push, but the AX100g sutes my needs.

I love this recorder, but after recording one album's worth of material including alternate takes and outtake tracks, the recorder ran out of space.

I have a dream of selling one of my songs to a big artist or a Record Company. If that dream will come true, I will be forever in debt to my Korg.

Great value at it's current reduced price. There's no way you'd get anything better for the money.
Korg Triton Pro - Keyboard_MIDI
If you travel a lot an octave of keys less doesn't matter then I would suggest the basic Triton. And do get a hard case for it.
