This determines whether the control pedal will function as a
momentary or latch type switch.
* The GT-6’s control pedal is normally a momentary-type pedal.
Switch the settings as needed to accommodate your setup.
Normal
The normal state is Off (minimum value), with the switch On
(maximum value) only while the foot switch is depressed.
Toggle
The setting is toggled On (maximum value) or Off (minimum
value) with each press of the foot switch.
* Set this to “Normal” when a latch-type foot switch (such as
the optional FS-5U) is connected, or when selecting something
other than a foot switch as the controller.
Differences Between Momentary-Type and
Latch-Type Switches
When switching effects on and off with a foot switch
It does not matter whether a momentary-type or latch-
type switch is used.
When using a momentary-type switch, set to “Toggle.”
When using a latch-type switch, set it to “Normal.”
When the effect is applied more, or is on only while
the foot switch is being pressed
When using a momentary-type switch, set it to
“Normal.”
This allows you to change how the effect is applied as
you press, or release from the foot switch.
Latch-type switches cannot function in this manner.
