Chapter 8 Convenient Features of the GT-6B

Adjusting the Overall Sound to Match the Usage Environment (Global)

The GT-6B includes a feature that allows you to change all of the patch settings temporarily. This is called the “Global function.”

With the Global function, you can temporarily change your settings to match those of your equipment and the operating environment, while leaving the settings in the patches untouched.

1.Press [UTILITY], then press PARAMETER [ ]

[ ] to display the following screen.

Global: Noise Suppressor Threshold

Global: Reverb Level

2.Rotate the PATCH/VALUE dial to change the setting’s value.

3.Repeat Steps 1 and 2 as needed.

4.Press [EXIT] to return to the Play screen.

NS Thrshold (Noise Suppressor Threshold) -20 dB–+20 dB

Adjusts the noise suppressor threshold level settings for each patch in a range from -20 dB to +20 dB.

This adjustment is an effective way to get equivalent output with each of your basses when you are connecting more than one bass.

*Set to “0 dB” when using this in individual patch settings.

*This has no effect on patches in which the noise suppressor is turned off.

Revrb Level (Reverb Level) 0%–200%

Adjusts the reverb level settings for each patch in a range from 0% to 200%.

Adjusting the reverb level is an effective way to match the reverberation of the performance venue.

*Set to “100%” when using this in individual patch settings.

*This has no effect on patches in which reverb is turned off.

Using the Digital Out

Digital signals are output from the DIGITAL OUT connector on the rear panel. You can connect this directly to the digital in connector of a digital recorder or other device and record with no degradation in sound quality.

DIGITAL IN

Adjusting the Output Level from DIGITAL OUT

With the GT-6B, you can adjust the output level of DIGITAL

OUT independently of the analog output level.

1.Press [UTILITY], then press PARAMETER [ ]

[ ] so that “Digital Out” is displayed.

2.Rotate the PATCH/VALUE dial to set the digital output level.

Valid settings: 0–200

*Raising the level too high may cause clipping of the signal within the unit. Check the meter (p. 59) or otherwise monitor the signal while setting this to an appropriate level.

3.Press [EXIT] to return to the Play screen.
