One option is to take it apart and check to see how the pedal is connecting to the board. SOme times there are plastic parts that are suppose to connect with the buttons on the board that wear out or are broken. Also if you perform with this in a lot of bars and such any liquid that gits dripped ove your box could just simply make it sticky and the pedals don't function like they used to. Lastly; Dust / Pet Hair! That can get in there and some how needs to get cleaned out.

I would recommend first looking for youtube videos on fixing the AX3000g, how to take it apart that sort of thing.

I have had mine for years and have had no such problem with it. I hope you can get it fixed because it really is one of the most unique effect boards out there. You can really create sounds no other board can.

probably best to send it in, I have had mine for maybe 3 years and have a problem with knob 4. The analog and mod delays on the knob are out of sink. They are not where the pointer of the knob clicks and rests while turning the dial, they have become somehow in the center of where the knob clicks to rest. Sometimes it will work for a while but usually starts flashing and switching both analog or mod and gets back to write mode. Which usually changes the delay while I'm playing from one to another and wrong settings.

Sounds like the TAC switches have worn. Best contact Korg, they're dirt cheap but you need a soldering iron to change them. Easy enough though.
