Main Features

Powerful COSM Modeling Effects Built-In
Features internal high-quality modeled effects, including
bass amp, overdrive/distortion, compressor/limiter, touch
wah, pedal wah, and more.
Internal Analog Bypass Circuitry
When bypass is activated, signals can be output without
passing through the AD/DA converter. Moreover, analog
signals also can be output without passing through the AD/
DA converter when only chorus or reverb/delay is used.
Equipped with XLR Balanced Output
Connectors
The GT-6B features two XLR type output jacks, enabling you
to connect to PAs and recording decks. And not only can you
output in stereo, these can also be selected as monaural
outputs and direct outs.
Customize Function
The GT-6B's internal Customize function lets you bring your
own sensibilities into play, and design totally new effects by
tweaking the settings for the "Overdrive/Distortion," and
"Pedal Wah" effects.
The resulting creations can then be saved on the GT-6B as
"Custom" settings. (p. 52)
EZ Tone
The GT-6B includes thirty representative effect sounds used
for creating new sounds. Now it's easy to select just the
sounds you like. (p. 16)
Quick Settings
Each effect contains pre-programmed settings for each effect.
Creating the effect sounds you want is simple—just select the
preset settings for the effect you are using.
A Wide Variety of Effects
The GT-6B provides 35 different effects, from pro-quality
chorus, delay and reverb, to octave, defretter, synth-bass, a
newly developed Auto Slap, and numerous other effects.
Expression Pedal/Expression Pedal
Switch and Control Pedal
The unit features an expression pedal and control pedal that
you can use in setting the functions in each patch. The
functions that can be assigned to the expression pedal vary
with each patch you select, allowing you to use it as a wah
pedal, volume pedal, or other kind of pedal.
Furthermore, you can use the pedal as an "expression pedal
switch" to control (turn on and off) the current effect by
firmly pressing down at the front tip. (p. 46)
Includes Digital Outs
The unit also includes digital out connectors (coaxial),
convenient for digital recording. (p. 58)
COSM (Composite Object Sound Modeling)
Composite Object Sound Modeling (COSM) is an
original sound modeling technology developed by
Roland, in which the many factors that make up the
original sound, such as the electrical circuitry, structural
characteristics, materials used, and acoustics, are
analyzed and then recombined to reproduce that same
sound.
