Boss Audio Systems GT-6B owner manual PB Pedal Bend, 2CE 2x2 Chorus

Chapter 4 The Effects Explained

Mono:

This mode is for the input of individual notes.

Select this setting when you want to obtain a pedal bend effect using an external expression pedal.

*Because of the need to analyze the pitch, chords (two or more sounds played simultaneously) cannot be played.

Pitch

Adjusts the amount of pitch shift (the amount the pitch changes) in semitone steps.

Fine

Makes fine adjustments to the pitch shift.

*“100” units of change in Fine is equivalent to “1” full change in pitch.

PreDly (Pre Delay)

Adjusts the time from when the direct sound is played until the pitch shifted sounds are produced. Normally, you can leave this set at “0 ms.”

*When set to BPM, the value of each parameter is set according to the value of the Master BPM (p. 44) specified for each patch. This makes it easy to achieve effect sound settings that match the tempo of the song (synchronizing the cycle to one-half or one-fourth of the BPM when the set cycle rate is increased).

When setting to the BPM, press PARAMETER [ ] to display the Master BPM settings screen.

Feedback

This adjusts the feedback amount of the pitch shift sound. Increasing the Feedback level produces an effect whereby the sound seems to rise and fall with the reverberations.

* Only PS1 can be selected when this is set to 2-Mono or 2-Stereo.

Level

This adjusts the volume of the pitch shift sound.

Direct Level

Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.

■PB: Pedal Bend

This lets you use the pedal to get a pitch bend effect. The GT- 6B’s expression pedal automatically switches to the pedal bend function when PB is selected.

Parameter	Value
Pitch Min	-24–+24
Pitch Max	-24–+24
Pedal Position	0–100
Effect Level	0–100
Direct Level	0–100

Pitch Min

This sets the pitch at the point where the expression pedal is fully lifted.

Pitch Max

This sets the pitch at the point where the expression pedal is all the way down.

Pdl Position (Pedal Position)

This adjusts the pedal position for pedal bend.

Effect Level

This adjusts the volume of the pitch bend sound.

Direct Level

Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.

■2CE: 2x2 Chorus

Two separate stereo chorus units are used for the lower and upper ranges in order to create a more natural chorus sound.

Parameter	Value
Crossover Frequency	100 Hz–4.00 kHz
Low Rate	0–100, BPM	–BPM
Low Depth	0–100
Low Pre Delay	0.0 msec–40.0 msec
Low Level	0–100
High Rate	0–100, BPM	–BPM
High Depth	0–100
High Pre Delay	0.0 msec–40.0 msec
High Level	0–100

Xover f (Crossover frequency)

This parameter sets the frequency at which the direct sound is divided into low- and high-frequency ranges.

Lo Rate (Low Rate)

Adjusts the rate of the chorus effect in the lower range.

*When set to BPM, the value of each parameter is set according to the value of the Master BPM (p. 44) specified for each patch. This makes it easy to achieve effect sound settings that match the tempo of the song (synchronizing the cycle to one-half or one-fourth of the BPM when the set cycle rate is increased).

When setting to the BPM, press PARAMETER [ ] to display the Master BPM settings screen.

Lo Depth (Low Depth)

Adjusts the depth of the chorus effect for the lower range. If you wish to use this as a doubling effect, use a setting of “0.”
