How The Gp-100 Ts Organized; How To Use This Manual - Roland GP-100 Owner's Manual

How the GP-100 Is Organized
The GP-100 is a preamp/processor that provides comprehensive
control over your guitar sound, The GP-100 is organized as
follows.
<Preamp>
The preamp determines the basic distortion and tone color of the
guitar. With the guitar amp type setting and the settings of the two
volume and four tone controls, you have the tools for some serious
sound-making.
There are two ways in which the preamp can be used. Its settings
can be linked together with the internal effects as part of the settings
of a Patch ("coupled"), or it can be used independently from the
internal effects so it is controlled directly by the settings of the
knobs ("separate").
<Signal Processor>
The signal processor provides a full array of the high quality digital
effects indispensable for creating your own personal guitar sound.
The connection order and settings for each effect can be stored as
part of a Patch.
Signal processor Patches can contain not only the effect settings,
but also the preamp settings, send/return settings, and external
device control settings.
