HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
(READ THIS FIRST!!)
You are probably eager to try out your new GW50
right away and hear what it can do, rather than
have to read through a lot of instructions before
you can even get a sound out of it.
Before you do anything else, however, you should
read the
PRECAUTIONS
section. This tells you
briefly how to care for your new GW50, how to
avoid damaging it, and how to ensure long-term,
reliable operation.
Next, read through the section
The GW50:
WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT CAN DO.
This briefly gives you an overview of the
functions of the GW50 and how you can use it
effectively.
The bulk of the manual has been organized into
two parts: the
GUIDED TOUR (TUTORIAL)
and the
REFERENCE
section.
Read the
GUIDED TOUR (TUTORIAL)
next. It
guides you step-by-step in setting up your GW50,
connecting it properly, and (most importantly!)
getting sound out of it. The section also goes on to
take you through some of the more important
functions of the GW50, explaining by way of
example how to use it.
The
REFERENCE
section, on the other hand, is a
comprehensive guide to all functions. You won’t
need (or want) to read through all of it at once, but
it is there for you to refer to when you need infor-
mation about a certain feature or function.
The
PANEL CONTROLS AND TERMINALS
is
also mainly for reference. However, you should
read through the parts here concerning the Pedal
Switches, since these are particularly useful and
convenient in operating the GW50. In general,
look through this section to familiarize yourself
with the controls, and refer to it when necessary.
The
INDEX
in the
APPENDICES
sections at the
back of this manual is also very helpful. It lists and
gives page numbers for virtually every function,
feature, control and terminal found on the GW50,
and gives you a quick, easy way to find what
you’re looking for.
Other parts of the
APPENDICES
and
SUPPLE-
MENTAL INFORMATION
sections provide
additional useful information: lists of all effect
programs, patterns and songs of the GW50, a list
of error messages, tips on troubleshooting (when
something doesn’t work as expected), and other
important information.
