Chapter 5 Creating Original Effects Types (Customize)

With the GS-10’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 GS-10 as “Custom” settings.

You can also use these custom settings in other patches.
