Editing Your Patch
Within a GT-10B patch, any effect and/or amp model can be easily edited or “tweaked” to
sound exactly the way you want. In the example below we’ll turn on and adjust the delay,
but you can use the same procedure for reverb, chorus, preamp, FX-1, FX-2, and so on.
1
Select a patch you want to edit.
2
Press the DELAY button until it lights up, and delay parameters appear in the
display. (If the delay button is already lit, you only need to press DELAY once).
3
There are two editing views available in the GT-10B: Knob view and List view. Press
the DISPLAY MODE button to toggle between the two. Let’s select the Knob view,
because knobs are easy and intuitive to work with.
Tip:
There are some parameters that are only available in the List view. When you’re in Knob
view, use the DISPLAY MODE button to toggle in and out of List view.
4
Use the real knobs under the virtual knobs in the display to change your delay
settings as desired.
Tip:
The
34
buttons on either side of the big dial may reveal additional editing pages.
5
Press the WRITE button.
6
Turn the big dial to select a user patch location, from U01-1 to U50-4.
7
Press the WRITE button again to finish saving your patch.
Using the GT-10B’s Onboard Phrase Looper
1
Select the patch you want to use as you record your loop.
2
Press both BANK
6
and BANK
5
pedals simultaneously to turn the looper on—the
REC/DUB LED lights up red and flashes to show you’re ready to record.
3
To begin recording, press the left BANK
6
pedal. The red LED glows solidly and the
GT-10B immediately starts recording whatever you play. You can record for up to
38 seconds.
4
When you’re finished recording, press BANK
6
again. This sets the end point of
your loop and the GT-10B immediately begins looping what you just played. The
LED glows green.
5
You may play over your loop as much as you want.
6
When you’re ready to overdub, press the same BANK
6
pedal again—the LED turns
red once more as you overdub on top of your loop.
7
Press the BANK
5
pedal again to stop overdubbing. You can repeat the overdubbing
process as many times as you wish.
8
To stop and clear your loop, press the BANK
5
pedal.
9
Now the Phrase Looper is ready to record a new loop. If you’re finished looping,
press both BANK
6
and BANK
5
pedals simultaneously to turn the Phrase Looper
off.
Note:
Creating loops with the GT-10B requires that you start and end recording in rhythm
to make your loop sound even. It’s often best to start recording your loop at exactly Beat 1
of the measure, and stop recording exactly at Beat 1 of a later measure. This may take some
practice. Remember that the GT-10B’s loop points are set exactly at the point you press the
pedal.
Tip:
While you’re recording and overdubbing with the Phase Looper, you can change
patches. You may even want to create a bank of patches designed for looping.
