Boss Audio Systems GT-6B owner manual Using the Customize Function

Chapter 6 Using the Customize Function

With the GT-6’s Customize function, you can rely on your own sensibilities and create a totally new effect by tweaking the settings for the “Preamp/Speaker Simulator,” “Overdrive/Distortion,” and “Pedal Wah.” The result can then be saved on the GT-6 as “Custom” settings.

You can also use these custom settings in other patches.

“Custom” settings are automatically updated (saved), even if you don't carry out the Write procedure. For this reason, you need to keep in mind that once you change the settings, the previous settings can no longer be restored.

*You can restore “custom” settings to their original factory-set values by carrying out Factory Reset for the system (p. 73).
