GT6B...

[Spikeh]

I had a GT6-B for about 2.5 years... sold it to the man above (Ste_m3) about 3 days ago. Kinda regretting it, but at the same time I just had no use for all the features.

The GT6-B is a damn good pedal... there's more to it than you initially think - it literally allows you to chain anything to anything, in any order, save it, recall it, assign even SINGLE parameters to each pedal / the expression pedal etc... even save different settings for different songs. If you have the time and the patience to set it up, it can do almost anything for you.

You can even record a bass loop, have it play back then maybe play something over it in a higher octave / with a different effect... brilliant!

The only reason I sold it is I just don't use it to it's full potential + the effects aren't as good as the very few single pedals I'd need.

If anyone needs any specific help on it, ask away / PM me - I'll try my best It did take me a while to master the thing... and it's very easy to completely break a patch without thinking about it!

...thanks for the pdf - I'll take a gander. From my readings (at least 10 times through the manual now - very un-manly!) I think I need to create my own patches which are simply just Chorus, or Phaser etc. But then if you want the auto-wah you have to click the pre-set patch pedals and hunt up and down - it really must be easier...

Self-help group? Count me in! (is there tea and biscuits?)

...it all started when the guitarists said, "so, who's gonna play bass?" doctor...



Let me know when you get the box... it is a sturdy, but rather expensive tuner...[/quote]


What I've done is change its mode so that within the patch, I can have each of the pedals assigned to a certain effect toggle ie.:

Compressor - Distortion - Chorus - Bypass // WAH

say I want (for a different song for example) the same kind of setup but with a diferent distortion and phaser instead of chorus.

I copy the existing patch over to the next (overwriting the existing crappy user patch) and edit each pedal setting as I want it.
resave over the same (new) patch again.

Over all, there's a few things to mind...

The preamp/sim section to me is for small adjustments only if you go to a basshead from there... it can easily sound crappy when boosted.

Usually I dont even use anything from the preamp/sim section. just the fx, and I EQ at my AMP.

there's also a trick on the manual to setting it to true-bypass, though I dont know exactly how "true" that is, never tried it.

Also, the master pot on the back shouldnt go over the white mark... abuse it and get a nasty buzz sound.
which you can control with the Noisegate.

something important too is the sequence of pedals/FX that can be edited through the MAster settings button (IIRC).
