Play Mode

Play Mode is the default Mode, active when you turn the G–DEC 30 on and also after 60 seconds of inactivity in other Modes. Press EXIT to return to Play Mode from other Modes.

Turn the Data Wheel to select presets in Play Mode. There are 3 banks of presets, P (permanent), U (user) and S (song)—each bank is indicated by the first character (P, U or S ) in the upper left corner of the display.

P and U bank presets (see illustration below) both include everything in your "band:" your guitar amp and effects, bass player, drummer and occasionally an accompannist.

S bank (see bottom illustration) includes MIDI songs (up to 62 songs, depending on file size) and stores the songs in the order of performance. Press START-STOPfor song playback. To change the order of your songs, press SONG and turn the Data Wheel to reorder (see page 8).

Each S bank preset displays a song number and name on the top line. The next line shows the current guitar preset (which always starts as QA1 in the box below). The QA box shows three (quick access) guitar presets. These QA presets are your personal favorites that you want to use with that particular song. Activate any QA preset using the buttons below the quick access labels, QA1, QA2, QA3 at the bottom of the display (or the corresponding footswitch button). Change the QA order by pressing the button below SET QA, then turn the Data Wheel to reorder.

You can play guitar, select presets and play the Drum Loop or the Phrase Sampler in Play Mode. To modify components of a preset (Amp Type, Effects, Bass line, etc.) use the Mode menus (see next page, Menu Navigation).
