Boss GT10B query

Hi,
How can i bypass the pedal to use the sound of my amp and the patches as as stompbox for effects?
I can do it on my GT6B but this looks to be more complicated.
Cheers

You can use manual mode just like the 6b.

TBH - the 10b is mind blowingly programmable.
You can pretty much assign any parameter or effect to any foot switch.

Check the manual out pg 54

Appreciate the reply but page 54 isnt exactly a simple explanation. I just need something on the lines of:
Press pedal assign, select manual setting on bank 1, pedal 1, press write.
Thats how simple I need it.

Mmm, yes, nothing is particularly "easy" on the 10b. The designers went for ultimate tweak-ability rather than user friendliness.

That said once you get to grip with it you'll find no more capable Bass multi effects.

You might find this software helpful - its really well laid out and shows you graphically what is possible:

Good luck!

Thanks Noirbass but I'm a bit dim when it comes to techie stuff so dont understand that either...lol. I would have to sit down and work out how to assign the effects I want to a user patch and write. Our guiutarist has the guitar version so ive asked him to bring it along and see if I get on with it.
I've just put up a post in Effects section asking whether its worth me buying a GT10b as they must be 7+ years old. My GT6B is a doddle to programme but I think its on its way out as I noticed the name change in the LED display. Read somewhere its likley to be the controller or battery.

[size=3][color="#000000"]Hi Smurfitt - Absolutely - I use the GT10 in this very way. [/color][/size]

[size=3][color="#000000"]I have mine wired using the 4cm - so i bypass the GT10's cosm and pre's etc etc so i can use my Ampeg's preamp and Tone.[/color][/size]

[size=3]Im not familiar with the GT6B, but with the GT10 (and also the GT10B i assume) - you can place your effects anywhere in the effects chain.[/size]

[size=3]It is an incredible bit of kit that allows you to both create and edit absolutely every single detail imaginable - once you've mastered the basics is fairly straight forward stuff...[/size]

Could be a little bit late on this, but as I was trying to bypass it five years later this was my idea - press the Tuner button and spin the selector wheel to make sure the output reads bypass rather than mute. This will bypass the effects and you can still tune silently by drawing back the volume pedal.
