DIRECT/MONO: Direct/Mono Output
Output from one of the connectors is the GT-6B's stereo
output mixed to mono; the direct bass direct sound (the
analog bypass sound from the input jack) is output from the
other connector.
This switch setting determines whether the signals output
from the XLR output jacks are output in stereo (L/R) or as
direct mono output. Set the switch to this position when
using only one mixer channel, for example during concerts.
Additionally, for recording, you can record the direct bass
sound on a separate channel, then later on you can remix the
direct sound with the effect sound during mixdown.
Quick Patch Volume Adjustment
(EFFECT LEVEL Knob)
For quick and easy adjustment of the current patch's volume,
use the EFFECT LEVEL knob.
You can control the patch level of the currently selected
patch directly by turning the EFFECT LEVEL knob.

sound.

saved when the Write procedure (p. 23) is carried out.
