Creating Original Effects Types (Customize)

With the GT-8's Customize function, you can rely on your
own sensibilities and create a totally new effect by tweaking
the settings for the "Preamp/Speaker Simulator,"
"Overdrive/Distortion," and "Pedal Wah." The result can
then be saved on the GT-8 as "Custom" settings.
You can also use these custom settings in other patches.

Customizing the COSM Preamps

You can make three different sets of settings, Custom 1,
Custom 2, and Custom 3.
* The sound of any patch that uses Custom 1, 2, or 3 will be
altered if the custom settings are edited.
