Chapter 7 Convenient Features of the GT-6
Reverb Level 0%–200%
Adjusts the reverb level settings for each patch in a range
from 0% to 200%.
Adjusting the reverb level is an effective way to match the
reverberation of the performance venue.
* Set to “100%” when using this in individual patch settings.
* This has no effect on patches in which reverb is turned off.
Using External Effect Processors
You can use external effect processors connected to the
EXTERNAL jack on the rear panel in place of the GT-6’s
overdrive and distortion.
In order to use external effect processors, the OVERDRIVE/
DISTORTION TYPE must be set to “External.”

whose level you want to check.
* Only effects that are turned on can be selected.
* You can check the level of signals being input to the INPUT
jack by selecting “Input.” Selecting “Output” allows you to
check the level of signals output from the GT-6.

output levels are set too high. Adjust the output level of each of
your effects to the optimum value while checking the meter
and making sure the needle doesn’t swing too far to the right.
