Chapter 7 Using Sound On Sound

"SOS" with the REV/DLY Fx Select (p. 27).
Here, the Number 4 pedal and the BYPASS/CTL pedal
automatically function as Sound On Sound controls.

Number 4 pedal: Stop, Erase
CTL pedal: Record, Play, Overdub
* The Number 4 pedal won't function as the Sound On Sound
control pedal if the Patch Select mode (p. 60) has been set to
the Bank/Number method of selection.
The available recording time in "HiQlty" mode (in
which priority is placed on sound quality) is
approximately 3 seconds, and approximately 6 seconds
in "LongTime" mode (in which priority is placed on
longer recording time).
Procedure
fig.07-02
1. Confirm that the CTL pedal's red
indicator is flashing.
This means that the GT-6B is in
recording standby mode and that
there is nothing in the memory.
Additionally, the rate at which the
indicator flashes indicates the
tempo, allowing you to use this as a quick tempo check
during recording.
* Depress the Number 4 pedal at least twice while "Tempo" (p.
29) is set to "BPM," and the tempo is set to match the timing
you''ve used while depressing the pedal (tap input).

exceeds the available recording time.
