EFFECT SECTION
MEMORY MODE
HINT
You can continue loading successive
factory effect programs by repeating
steps #3 and #4 above as necessary.
CAUTION
AVOID LOSING IMPORTANT DATA—Keep in
mind that this operation automatically and
irretrievably erases the program you created
at the selected number. To avoid losing the
program entirely, save it and others you
have created by using the MIDI Bulk
Transmission function. (See page 102.)
For example, if you are using the footswitch
to enter and exit the Tuner mode, and press it
while the MIDI Bulk Trasmission function is
active, the message “EXIT MIDI BULK” will
appear. Either continue with the MIDI Bulk
Transmission operation, or press one of the
mode buttons on the panel to return to normal
operation.
Using the External Footswitch as a
Total Effect Bypass Switch
(All Effects ON/OFF)
You can also use the external footswitch to turn all
active effects on and off at once, as a total bypass
switch.
MEMORY JOB MODE / RESTORING FACTORY PRESET EFFECT PROGRAMS
HINT
This function is useful when you want to turn on
or off ALL effects (not just the group-assigned
effects) at once. It is also useful as a kind of
“panic” switch in live performance, to turn off all
effects if some kind of trouble (such as feedback)
suddenly occurs.
Operation —
1. Simultaneously hold down the connected
external footswitch and press [SHIFT].
2. Now, when you press the external footswitch,
all currently active effects are turned on or
off.
RESTORING FACTORY PRESET EFFECT PROGRAMS
If you’ve erased one of the factory effect
programs by replacing it with one of your
own creation, this function lets you
restore the original program.
Operation —
1. Turn off the power of the GW50.
2. Simultaneously hold down [MEMORY] and
turn the power back on. The MEMORY LED
and the BANK/MEMORY indicator both
flash. (“LD MEM” appears in the LCD.)
3. Select the number of the effect program you
wish to restore with the [–]/[+] buttons.
4. Press [SET-B] (below “GO”) to restore the
program, or press [SET-A] (below “EXIT”)
to abort the operation. (You can also abort
the operation by using any of the mode
buttons: [MANUAL], [MEMORY], or
[SONG/PATTERN].)
