The Footswitches

As explained previously, Preset Mode utilizes Footswitches 1-3 to select Presets, and the same switches will toggle
Effects in FX Mode. However, these footswitches are also used to access other functions in the GNX1. Pressing the 1
and 2 Footswitches simultaneously, or pressing the currently lit Footswitch (in Preset mode) will bypass the GNX1.
Pressing and holding the 1 and 2 Footswitches simultaneously will access the Tuner mode. Pressing the 2 and 3
Footswitches simultaneously will activate the Learn-A-Lick mode. In the Learn-A-Lick mode, the 1-3 switches will
activate the various Learn-A-Lick functions.

The Expression Pedal

As you go through the different Presets in the GNX1, you will find that the expression pedal has different functions.
This pedal can be assigned to control three different parameters in each Preset. Rocking the Expression Pedal back
and forth will change the value of the assigned parameters.You can assign minimum and maximum values (stop points)
for each parameter that you control with the pedal.The Expression Pedal also includes a feature called V-Switch which
allows you to override the Parameters assigned to the Expression Pedal and replace its assignment with the Wah. See
page 32 for more information on assigning the Expression Pedal.

Bypass Mode

The GNX1 can be bypassed for a clean, unprocessed, straight guitar tone. Bypass mode disengages all Modeling and
effects.To bypass the GNX1 in Preset mode, press the Footswitch representing the currently active Preset (the 1-3
footswitch that is lit), or press Footswitch 1 and 2 simultaneously.To bypass the GNX1 while in FX Mode, press the 1
and 2 Footswitches simultaneously. When the GNX1 is bypassed, the Display will read BYPASS and all LEDs in the
Matrix will turn off. Pressing any Footswitch will exit Bypass and return to the last Preset used. None of the Matrix or
Programming buttons are available in Bypass mode.

Tuner Mode

The Tuner in the GNX1 allows you to quickly tune or check the tuning on your guitar. Enter Tuner mode by pressing
and holding Footswitches 1 and 2 simultaneously.The Display will briefly show TUNER indicating that you are in Tuner
mode.To begin tuning, play a note on your guitar (a harmonic at the 12th fret usually works best).The red numeric
Display will show the note being played, and the green alpha-numeric display will indicate whether the note is sharp or
flat. Arrows to the left (<<<) indicate the note is sharp and should be tuned down. Arrows to the right (>>>) indicate
the note is flat and should be tuned up.When your note is in tune, the Display will read -><- .
In Tuner mode, you can select your tuning reference with the Data Up/Down buttons. The default factory setting is
A=440 Hz.The tuning reference ranges from 427 Hz to 453 Hz, which is the equivalent of ± 50 cents (1/2 semitone) in
either direction from 440 Hz.When you scroll below 427 Hz, you will also find alternate dropped tunings. Alternate
tunings are REF A& (A=Ab), REF G (A=G), and REF G& (A=Gb).The display window will briefly flash the currently
selected tuning preference.
Exit tuner mode by pressing any of the Footswitches.
