THE GW50: WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT CAN DO

WHAT IT IS …

The Effect and Backing sections are active simul-

taneously; however, when making adjustments or

performing certain operations within a mode in

one of the sections, generally you should press the

desired mode button ([MANUAL], [MEMORY]

or [SONG/PATTERN]) to make sure that the

mode is properly called up before attempting the

operation.

Functions in Each Mode

Specific functions and operations of the various

modes include:

Manual: Changing the parameters of the effects.

Manual Job: Storing parameter settings to a pro-

gram.

Memory: Selecting and using an effect program.

Memory Edit: Changing the parameters of an

effect program.

Memory Edit Compare: Comparing the sound and

values of edited program with the

original.

Memory Job: Copying, swapping and naming

effect programs.

Pattern: Playing the patterns of the Backing sec-

tion.

Song: Playing a song, or using the Step Recording

features to edit a song.

Song Realtime Recording: Recording events to a

song in realtime.

Song Job: Copying or deleting measures within a

song; naming a song.

Keep in mind as you read this manual that the

phrase “main modes” refers to the Manual,

Memory, Pattern and Song modes, and that

“mode buttons” refers to the [MANUAL],

[MEMORY] and [SONG/PATTERN] buttons.

Effect and Backing Sections

The GW50 is actually two different devices in one.

On the one hand, it has an Effect section which

provides high-quality and easy-to-use multi effects

designed especially for processing electric guitar.

On the other, it has a Backing section which

provides realistic automatic rhythm, chord and

bass patterns for creating your own accompani-

ment. Moreover, the GW50 includes a built-in

tuner for tuning your instrument without having to

remove it from the effect chain.

The Effect section has two mode groups: Manual,

which lets you use the GW50 effects just as would

a normal pedal effect unit, and Memory, which

lets you call up preset effect programs and create

your own original programs.

The Backing section also has two mode groups:

Pattern, which lets you play the various rhythm

patterns, and Song, which lets you play pre-pro-

grammed songs and create your own original

songs.

Modes of the GW50

The tree chart on the next page shows the relation-

ships of the various modes of the GW50. There

are four main modes — Manual, Memory, Pattern

and Song — indicated by the shaded areas. All

other modes are either separate from them (as with

Tuner, MIDI Bulk Transmission and Demo) or are

subordinate to them.
