Chapter 6 Using the Customize Function
With the GT-6’s Customize function, you can rely on your
own sensibilities and create a totally new effect by tweaking
the settings for the “Preamp/Speaker Simulator,”
“Overdrive/Distortion,” and “Pedal Wah.” The result can
then be saved on the GT-6 as “Custom” settings.
You can also use these custom settings in other patches.
“Custom” settings are automatically updated (saved),
even if you don't carry out the Write procedure. For this
reason, you need to keep in mind that once you change
the settings, the previous settings can no longer be
restored.
* You can restore “custom” settings to their original factory-set
values by carrying out Factory Reset for the system (p. 73).
Making “Custom”
Overdrive/Distortion Settings
You can prepare two different sets of settings in the GT-6B,
