Effect Block On/Off Control; Disabling The Effect On/Off Switching Of The Foot Controller - Yamaha GW10 Owner's Manual

The Foot Controller can also be used to instantly
turn a selected effect block (or blocks) on and
off. The green ON OFF GROUP LEDs above
the Effect Block buttons indicate which block or
blocks have been enabled for this function.
To turn the selected effects on or off, push the
Foot Controller down to its maximum setting,
then firmly press it once.
DISABLING THE EFFECT ON/OFF SWITCHING OF THE FOOT
CONTROLLER
The GW10 features a "hidden" switch for
disabling effect block on/off control with the
Foot Controller. Doing this also gives you
increased range in the Foot Controller opera-
tion. Normally, the Foot Controller range stops
not at the absolute maximum, but at the point
where spring pressure starts. By disabling on/
off control, the Foot Controller range can be
extended to cover up to the absolute maximum.

NOTE
also disables Tuner on/off control with the Foot
Controller. However, an alternate method for
turning on the Tuner function is available; see
the Hint on page 41.
To disable both the mechanical spring and
the effect block on/off control:
1
Turn the power off.
2
Turn the GW10 upside down, and use a
Phillips screwdriver to take out the large
screw on the back plate.
3
With the screw out or sufficiently loosened,
use a slotted screwdriver to pry out the
plastic screw cap.

Effect Block On/Off Control

To select the effect blocks for on/off switching
with the Foot Controller, press and hold down
the appropriate Effect Block button(s) for about
one second, until the green ON OFF GROUP
LED above the button lights. Any or all effect
blocks can be selected.

inside the GW10, turning it in a
counterclockwise direction.

Be careful to press down hard enough on
the screw, making sure that the driver is
securely in the slots of the head as you
loosen it, in order to avoid stripping the
head.
