Error Messages - Boss GT-6B Owner's Manual

Volume level does not change with
Foot Volume
❍ Is EXP PEDAL (p. 46) set to "Off"?
→ Set this to "On" when you want to control the volume
with the expression pedal.
❍ Has the value for the EXP PEDAL Foot Vol Max setting
(p. 45) been lowered?
→ Check the setting.
❍ Is "OFF" selected in Bypass EXP Mode (p. 55) and Noise
Suppressor (p. 44)?
→ If "OFF" is set in Bypass EXP Mode, note the following:
• When all effects are set to OFF, the analog bypass sound
is output, and the volume cannot be controlled with Foot
Volume (p. 44).
• When CHORUS or REV/DLY are the only effects being
used, analog bypass sound is output for the direct
sound, so only the effect sound is controlled with the
FOOT VOLUME (p. 44).
MIDI messages are not transmitted/
received
❍ Is the MIDI cable broken?
→ Try using a different MIDI cable.
❍ Is the GT-6B correctly connected to the external MIDI
device?
→ Check connections with the other MIDI device.
❍ Do the MIDI channel settings of both devices match?
→ Make sure that the MIDI channels on both devices match
(p. 65).
❍ If sending messages from the GT-6B, have you set the
settings necessary for sending data?
→ Check the on/off status (p. 66) for transmission of
Program Change messages, the MIDI Transmit Channel
(p. 65), and the settings for the controller numbers to be
transmitted (p. 66).
❍ If transmitting/receiving System Exclusive messages,
does the Device ID setting match that of the external
MIDI device?
→ Check the Device ID setting (p. 65).
