Chapter 7 Using Sound On Sound

You can use the “Sound On Sound function” by selecting “SOS” with the REV/DLY Fx Select (p. 27).

Here, the Number 4 pedal and the BYPASS/CTL pedal automatically function as Sound On Sound controls.

fig.07-01

Number 4 pedal: Stop, Erase

CTL pedal: Record, Play, Overdub

*The Number 4 pedal won’t function as the Sound On Sound control pedal if the Patch Select mode (p. 60) has been set to the Bank/Number method of selection.

The available recording time in “HiQlty” mode (in which priority is placed on sound quality) is approximately 3 seconds, and approximately 6 seconds in “LongTime” mode (in which priority is placed on longer recording time).

Procedure

1. Confirm that the CTL pedal’s red

 

 

Blink

indicator is flashing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This means that the GT-6B is in

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

recording standby mode and that

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

there is nothing in the memory.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Additionally, the rate at which the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

indicator flashes indicates the

tempo, allowing you to use this as a quick tempo check during recording.

*Depress the Number 4 pedal at least twice while “Tempo” (p. 29) is set to “BPM,” and the tempo is set to match the timing

you'’ve used while depressing the pedal (tap input).

2. Press the CTL pedal to begin

Lit

The CTL pedal’s red indicator stops flashing and stays lit, indicating that the GT-6B is recording.

* Recording stops automatically as soon as the amount that's been recorded exceeds the available recording time.

3.Press the CTL pedal to end the recording. When you stop recording, the recorded phrases simultaneously starts playing back. The CTL pedal’s red indicator light goes out, and the green indicator flashes, indicating that playback is in progress.

In addition, the Number 4 pedal’s indicator lights up,

indicating that the memory contains recorded data.
