GX-140D Amplifier
THE DSP SECTION:
You can program six different effects into your GX-140D:
two for the Clean Channel and four for the Overdrive
Channel. Follow these simple instructions to program
the presets:
PROGRAMMING A PRESET:
1. Select the Clean Channel (the green led will be lit).
2. Turn the Chorus/Expander OFF (button OUT).
3. Turn the DSP Mode knob to the desired effect.
4. You have just stored the effect for the Clean Channel
with Chorus/Expander OFF. You can change the preset
any time by returning to this same channel and Chorus
selection and turning the Mode knob. The new effect
will be stored at this setting until you change it again.
•Every time you select the Clean Channel with the
Chorus/Expander “OFF” the amp recalls this effect. The
“DSP Level” control sets the effect level.
PROGRAMMING THE OTHER PRESETS:
1. Select the Clean Channel (the green led will be lit).
2. Turn the Chorus/Expander ON (button IN)
3. Turn the DSP Mode knob to the desired effect.
4. Repeat for the Overdrive Channel with the Shape
and Chorus/Expander OFF, Shape and Chorus/
Expander ON, Shape ON and Chorus/Expander OFF,
Shape OFF and Chorus/Expander ON. You can change
any of the presets any time by turning the Mode knob.
The new effects will be stored at each amp setting until
you change it again.
•Every time you select one of the amp’s modes (the
Overdrive Channel, Shape and Chorus/Expander OFF,
for example) the amp recalls the effect set for that
mode. The “DSP Level” control sets the effect level.
