GT-100 Eects List
This is a list of the eects built into the GT-100.
* The product names mentioned in this document are registered
trademarks or trademarks of their respective owners. In this
manual, these names are used because it is the most practical
way of describing the sounds that are simulated using COSM
technology.
Eect Explanation
COMP
(Compressor)
This is an eect that produces a long sustain by
evening out the volume level of the input signal. You
can switch it to a limiter to suppress only the sound
peaks and prevent distortion.
OD/DS
(Overdrive/Distor-
tion)
This eect distorts the sound to create long sustain.
It provides 21 types of distortion and custom
settings. For the types of distortion that can be
selected for OD/DS, refer to “OD/DS Type List.”
PREAMP
COSM technology simulates dierent preamp
characteristics, speaker sizes, and cabinet shapes.
For the amp types that can be selected for the
preamp, refer to “Preamp Type List.”
EQ (Equalizer)
This adjusts the tone as a equalizer. A parametric
type is adopted for the high-middle and low-middle
range.
FX1
With FX1 and FX2, you can select the eect to be
used from the following. You can select the same
eect for FX1 and FX2. For the eects that can be
selected for FX1 and FX2, refer to “FX1/FX2 Eect
List.”
FX2
DELAY
This eect adds delayed sound to the direct sound,
giving more body to the sound or creating special
eects.
CHORUS
In this eect, a slightly detuned sound is added to
the original sound to add depth and breadth.
REVERB This eect adds reverberation to the sound.
NS1
This eect reduces the noise and hum picked up
by guitar pickups. Since it suppresses the noise in
synchronization with the envelope of the guitar
sound (the way in which the guitar sound decays
over time), it has very little eect on the guitar
sound, and does not harm the natural character of
the sound.
NS2
DIVIDER
Within the eect chain, the point where the signal
is split into channels “A” and “B” is called the “divider,”
and the point where the two signals are recombined
is called the “mixer.”
You can use the divider to switch between channels
“A” and “B,” to assign strongly picked notes and softly
picked notes to dierent channels, or to assign
dierent frequency bands of your guitar sound to
dierent channels.
The mixer lets you adjust the volume balance of
channels “A” and “B,” place them in the stereo eld, or
slightly delay the sound of channel “B” to produce a
spacious sound.
MIXER
SEND/RETURN
You can connect an external eects processor
between the SEND jack and RETURN jack, and use it
as one of the GT-100’s eects processors.
Eect Explanation
PEDAL FX
PEDAL FX is an eect used to control WAH or PEDAL
BEND with the [EXP] pedal. The SUB EXP pedal
cannot be used for this control.
FOOT VOLUME is a volume control eect.
Normally, this is controlled with the EXP Pedal or
the [EXP] pedal connected to the SUB CTL 1, 2/SUB
EXP jack.
FOOT VOLUME
ACCEL FX
This allows for the use of six dierent types of Accel
eects, which modify the sound over time when you
depress the [ACCEL/CTL] pedal.
USB
Here you can make USB-related settings for when
the GT-100 is connected to a computer via USB.
MASTER SETTING These settings are applied to the overall patch.
