ABQUT THE DIQITAL
SfiUMB PROCESSOR;
Using the Mode Control:
The Digital Sound Processor's 32 position Mode control allows you to instantly access the exact type of
effect you want - from classic reverberation to radical 'backwards' sounds - for any of the preamp or channel set¬
tings. The diagram below illustrates where each 'family" of effects is located. Use this diagram along with the
table on the facing page to familiarize yourself with the locations of the many different sound effects possblo from
your GT-80DSP.
The setting ot the Mode Control will determine the type of effect for whichever preamptohannel combina¬
tion the amp is set to at the time you adjust the Mode control. Once set, the GT-80DSP's non-volatile memory
retains the setting until you reset it.
Example:
Plug in your guitar and turn on the amplifier. Set Channel Select to Rhythm, Tube/S.S. Select
to Tube. Now set the Mode Control to '12" (medium gated reverb). Strike a chord on your guitar and listen to the
sound of the effect. Press in the Channel Select switch to choose the Lead Channel, then set the Mode Control
to 26 (large hard surface echo). Strike a chord and listen to the results. Now press Select again to get back to
the Rhythm Channel and strike a chord - even though you haven't changed the setting of the Mode Control, the
amplifier 'remembered' that you had programmed in setting '
12
' and kept the effect as you left it.
There's more:
When a Reverb footswitch is used, you can program each of the four channel/preamp
combinations with two Mode settings. If you want to control reverb on/off with the footswitch, for example, set
the Mode to 'O' (bypass), hit the footswitch and set Mode to 'S' (large bright hall). Now you have the ability to
switch the reverb on and off with the footswitch.
With the footswitch you have a choice of two reverb settings for each of the four preamp/channel combi¬
nations, for
the most
flexibility
and
versatility possible!
