returned to their original settings, the key will go
out.
4. To change other major parameters in
the pre-amp section, operate the
respective knob (see illustration
below).
When you turn a knob, the name and the current
setting of the respective parameter appear on the
display. Operating the [BASS], [MIDDLE],
[TREBLE], or [PRESENCE] knob will boost or
cut the respective band, and the setting is reflected
in the graph on the right side of the display.

When you perform step 3 or step 4, the G7.1ut
switches to edit mode. To return to play mode,
press the [EXIT] key. (For details on edit mode, see
page 23.)
5. To adjust the overall level of the
patch, turn parameter knob 2 in play
mode.
The patch level is a parameter that controls the
output level of the respective patch. The setting
range is 2 – 100. A setting of 80 results in unity
gain (no level increase or decrease).
NOTE
The changes that you have made to a patch will be
lost when you select another patch. To keep the
changes, store the patch first (→ p. 27).
Using the Energizer
The G7.1ut incorporates an Energizer function
that processes the analog output signal using a
tube circuit.
This feature is suitable for making the guitar stand
out in an ensemble setting, or for adding that
characteristic tube distortion sound.
HINT
• The Energizer is active in all modes.
• The Energizer settings are not stored as part of
the patch.
To adjust the Energizer, use the control knobs of
the tube section on the panel. The control
functions are explained below.
● [TUBE] control
This control adds characteristic tube distortion
to the sound, making the guitar stand out more
distinctly. When the knob is turned fully

counterclockwise, the effect is off. Turning the
knob clockwise gradually increases the tube
circuit gain, resulting in warmer, more solid
crunch or drive sound. Normally, you should
set the control to a position where distortion is
not too audible, but you can set it higher when
you purposely want to emphasize the tube
distortion.
● [BOOST] control
This control boosts specific frequency bands to
make the sound more pronounced. When the
knob is turned fully counterclockwise, the
effect is off. Turning the knob clockwise
gradually boosts the low frequencies and the
area around 2 kHz. Especially when using a
small guitar amp or an audio system with flat
response, this can be helpful to produce more
dynamic sound.

situations, and for bringing the sound of the
guitar more to the foreground when playing in
a band.
NOTE
• The intensity of the distortion achieved with the
[TUBE] control depends on the guitar and type
of pickup.
• When both controls are fully turned up, the
volume level will be higher and excessive
distortion may occur.
