Chapter 4 The Effects Explained
OD/DIST
(Overdrive/Distortion)This effect distorts the sound to create long sustain. The GT-
6B provides nine types of distortion with two different
custom settings.
■ OD: Overdrive
This provides the warm, natural type of distortion that
occurs naturally when you turn up the volume on a tube
amp. This effect is often used as an amp pre-booster.
■ DST: Distortion
This effect features a deep, powerful distortion that is
difficult to achieve with amp distortion alone.
■ FUZ: Fuzz
This effect gives an even more powerful and intense
distortion than you get with regular distortion.
