Even though the GW10 is exceptionally easy to use, it may occasionally not
function as you expect it to. Note that the problems covered here are not mal-
functions of the GW10.
POSSIBLE CAUSE AND SOLUTION
• Check that all connections have been properly made and that all
levels have been appropriately set (including the INPUT LEVEL
control on the rear panel and the Foot Controller).
• Check that the Output parameter of the Distortion block is set to an
appropriate level.
• Make sure that the Tuner is not active. (See Tuner operation step
#5, page 41.)
• Check all of the above points (for when the instrument sound
cannot be heard).
• Check that the desired effect blocks are turned on (LEDs are lit).
• Check that the Mix, Depth and Range parameters of the Chorus and
Delay blocks are set to appropriate levels.
• The guitar level is too loud (the INPUT PEAK LED is lit continu-
ously). Set the input level of the GW10 and the output level of the
guitar appropriately. (See pages 13, 14).
• In general, remember that the parameters within an effect interact
with and depend on each other. If you are using more than one
effect, try each effect block separately, checking and adjusting all
parameters in the effect until you get the sound you want.
• If there is too much distortion or noise, check:
• That the Drive and Output parameters of the Distortion block
are set to appropriate levels.
• That the Equalizer gain controls (Low, Mid and High) have not
been set too high.
• That the Mix parameters of the Chorus and Delay blocks are set
to appropriate levels.
• That the Noise Gate settings are appropriate.
• Also check your connected amplifier. If you are getting too much
distortion, check that the GW10 is connected to the clean channel
and not to the distortion channel.
