Chapter 8 Convenient Features of the GT-6B

DIRECT/MONO: Direct/Mono Output

Output from one of the connectors is the GT-6B’s stereo output mixed to mono; the direct bass direct sound (the analog bypass sound from the input jack) is output from the other connector.

This switch setting determines whether the signals output from the XLR output jacks are output in stereo (L/R) or as direct mono output. Set the switch to this position when using only one mixer channel, for example during concerts. Additionally, for recording, you can record the direct bass sound on a separate channel, then later on you can remix the direct sound with the effect sound during mixdown.

Quick Patch Volume Adjustment (EFFECT LEVEL Knob)

For quick and easy adjustment of the current patch’s volume, use the EFFECT LEVEL knob.

You can control the patch level of the currently selected patch directly by turning the EFFECT LEVEL knob.

*When the Bypass EXP Mode (p. 55) and Noise Suppressor (p. 44) is set to “Off” and only CHORUS or REV/DLY is used, the direct sound is output as analog output.In this case, EFFECT LEVEL does not change the volume of the direct sound.

*The patch level as adjusted with the PATCH LEVEL knob is saved when the Write procedure (p. 23) is carried out.

Tuning the Bass

The GT-6B is equipped with an Internal automatic chromatic

tuner. Turning on the tuner mutes the output and activates

the tuner.

Turning the Tuner Function On

Use the following procedure to switch to Tuner mode.

Using the Pedal

To switch to Tuner mode, simultaneously press the PATCH

and PATCH

pedals.

 

 

Press either the PATCH

or PATCH

pedals to return

to the original mode.

 

 

 

Using the Buttons

Each time the panel button [TUNER/BYPASS] is pressed, the unit switches between “Tuner mode,” “Bypass mode (p. 55)” and “Play mode.”

About the Display During Tuning

With the GT-6B’s internal tuner, the note name is indicated in the upper row of the display and the Tuning Guide is shown in the lower row, indicating the difference between the input sound and the sound in the display.

Furthermore, the tuning status is also indicated by the pedals' indicators.

Note Name

Tuning Guide

When the difference from the correct pitch falls within 50 cents, the Tuning Guide then indicates the size of that difference. As you watch the Tuning Guide, tune the bass so that the “■” appears in the center.
