Equalizer
Four-band Parametric EQ, Wah + Two-band EQ, and
Amp Simulator + Two-band EQ

Reverb/Delay

(Refer to the “EFFECTS AND PARAMETERS” section, page 58, for more detailed
descriptions and explanations of these effects.)
A programmable Noise Gate is also included for filtering out hum, hiss and
other undesirable noise when the signal is low. (See pages 31, 69.)
PLAYING WITH SOME OF THE EFFECTS
Now that you’ve got sound out of the
GW50 and have heard some of the Demo
Songs, let’s try playing with some of the
effects.
1. Press [MEMORY], even if the MEMORY
LED is lit.
2. First, try playing with a clean chorus and
delay effect. Use the [–]/[+] buttons to select
program number 25. (The [–]/[+] buttons also
feature rapid operation; see page 5.)
