When using the unit with a foot switch connected to the SUB EXP PEDAL/SUB CTL 1,2 jack, make the settings given on p. 63.

The explanations in this manual include illustrations that depict what should typically be shown by the display. Note, however, that your unit may incorporate a newer, enhanced version of the system (e.g., includes newer sounds), so what you actually see in the display may not always match what appears in the manual.

Turning On the Power

Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices.

1.Before you turn the power on, make sure of the following points.

Are all external devices properly connected?

Is the volume on the GT-6B, your amp, and all other connected devices turned down to the minimum level?

*The GT-6B's volume is adjusted with the OUTPUT LEVEL knob on the rear panel. Turning this completely to the left (counterclockwise) sets the volume to the minimum level.

2.Switch ON the POWER switch on the GT-6B’s rear panel.

The display changes, and the following appears in the display. After a brief interval (a few seconds), the unit switches to regular performance mode. The screen that appears at that point is called the “Play screen.”

*When the GT-6B is turned on, the patch most recently selected when the power was last turned off is selected.

*This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after power up is required before the unit will operate normally.

3.Next, turn on the power to the bass amp (power amp).

Adjusting the Output Level

Adjust the GT-6B’s output level with the OUTPUT LEVEL knob on the rear panel.

*Turn the knob to the marked range to set the volume to a standard level.
