WHAT IT IS …
The Effect and Backing sections are active simul-
taneously; however, when making adjustments or
performing certain operations within a mode in
one of the sections, generally you should press the
desired mode button ([MANUAL], [MEMORY]
or [SONG/PATTERN]) to make sure that the
mode is properly called up before attempting the
operation.
Functions in Each Mode
Specific functions and operations of the various
modes include:
Manual: Changing the parameters of the effects.
Manual Job: Storing parameter settings to a pro-
gram.
Memory: Selecting and using an effect program.
Memory Edit:
Changing the parameters of an
effect program.
Memory Edit Compare: Comparing the sound and
values of edited program with the
original.
Memory Job: Copying, swapping and naming
effect programs.
Pattern: Playing the patterns of the Backing sec-
tion.
Song:
Playing a song, or using the Step Recording
features to edit a song.
Song Realtime Recording: Recording events to a
song in realtime.
Song Job: Copying or deleting measures within a
song; naming a song.
Keep in mind as you read this manual that the
phrase “main modes” refers to the Manual,
Memory, Pattern and Song modes, and that
“mode buttons” refers to the
[MANUAL] ,
[MEMORY] and [ SONG/PATTERN] buttons.
Effect and Backing Sections
The GW50 is actually two different devices in one.
On the one hand, it has an Effect section which
provides high-quality and easy-to-use multi effects
designed especially for processing electric guitar.
On the other, it has a Backing section which
provides realistic automatic rhythm, chord and
bass patterns for creating your own accompani-
ment. Moreover, the GW50 includes a built-in
tuner for tuning your instrument without having to
remove it from the effect chain.
The Effect section has two mode groups: Manual,
which lets you use the GW50 effects just as would
a normal pedal effect unit, and Memory, which
lets you call up preset effect programs and create
your own original programs.
The Backing section also has two mode groups:
Pattern, which lets you play the various rhythm
patterns, and Song, which lets you play pre-pro-
grammed songs and create your own original
songs.
