P01-3: American Legend; Gt-10 Preset Patches That Use Realtime Controllers - Boss GT-10 Workshop Manual

•
Control unconventional effects parameters with the expression pedal—
standard use of the expression pedal is to control guitar effects such as
volume, wah, and even whammy-style pitch bend. But you can also
control a ton of other neat things with the pedal, such as delay level or
time, the gain of a COSM preamp or a distortion effect, or the rate of the
flanger effect—even all of them at once. Nearly anything is possible!
•
Create sophisticated effect sounds with a sense of motion—
internal and wave pedals, you can create all sorts of "automatic" effects
that would be difficult or impossible to accomplish manually. For
example, you can assign the internal pedal to gradually increase or
decrease the rate of a tremolo or slicer effect with one press of a foot
switch. Or, you can use the wave pedal to continuously vary the filter of
the auto wah or an EQ frequency to create realtime filter effects.
These suggestions only scratch the surface of the things you can do with
realtime effects control. The only limit is your imagination!

GT-10 Preset Patches That Use Realtime Controllers

Before we show you how to make your own realtime control assignments,
let's examine some of the GT-10's preset patches that make use of realtime
controllers. This will give you a good hands-on overview of what's possible
with realtime effects control.
When the GT-10 ships from the factory, all of its realtime controllers
are assigned to follow settings made in each individual patch. However,
you have the ability to override the patch settings for individual
controllers with system-wide settings, so that they react the same no
matter what patch is selected. If you've set your GT-10 in this way,
some of the following examples may not behave as described. We'll
show you how to set patch and system-wide preferences in "Setting
Realtime Controllers to the Same Function for All Patches" near the
end of this booklet.
To select patches from the GT-10's front panel, turn the dial while the
Play screen is displayed.

P01-3: AMERICAN LEGEND

This patch combines a classic American
tweed amp with some stompbox-type
effects. It also includes two effects—tremolo
and spring reverb—that were built into
vintage American "Blackface" amps.

Effects used in this patch:
•
OD/DS
•
FX-1 (PARA EQ)
•
REVERB (Spring)
When the patch is first called up, PREAMP A, FX-1, and PEDAL FX (FOOT
VOLUME) are on. Use the onboard realtime controllers as follows:
•
CTL 1—
OD/DS effect toggles on/off, and PREAMP toggles between Channel A
and Channel B.
•
CTL 2—
toggled on/off.
As you can see in the two examples above, a foot switch can be
assigned to control more than one parameter with a single action. In
fact, the GT-10 allows you to adjust up nine different parameters at
once with a single realtime control action!
