Boss GL-100 - IMPORTANT NOTES

Thank you for purchasing the BOSS Guitar Driver GL-100. The GL-100 is a preamplifier that contains a line driver simulating
a large size tube guitar amplifier. It can generate various different sounds. To make the best use of the GL-100, please
read the owner's manual carefully.
Mi FEATURES
@ The GL-100 contains a line driver simulating a large
size tube guitar amplifier. By connecting a mixer or
power amplifier directly to the GL-100, powerful guitar
sounds can be produced.
e@ The GL-100 has simulation circuits individually in the
amplifier section and the speaker section. The simulation
circuit in the speaker section can be turned on or off,
and therefore can be used either for a monitor speaker
or guitar speaker.
e@ The GL-100 contains two types of preamplifier (CH1
and CH2). You can use either of them. CH 1 gives you
ideal sounds for lead performance, while CH 2's sounds
are suitable for backing. Using the optional foot switch,
the channels can be changed with the pedal.
i IMPORTANT NOTES
In addition to the items listed under Safety Precautions,
on page 2, we request that you please read and adhere to
the following.
| Concerning the power supply
@ Whenever you make any connections with other de-
vices, always turn off the power to all equipment first.
This will help in preventing malfunction, and damage
to speakers.
® Do not force the unit to share the same power outlet
as one used for distortion producing devices (such as
motors, variable lighting devices). Be sure to use a
separate power outlet.
[| Concerning placement
@ Placing the unit near power amplifiers or other equip-
ment containing large transformers may induce hum.
@ CH 1 features a 4 band equalizer and CH 2 a 3 band
equalizer, allowing you to control the sound delicately.
e By changing modes, many different sounds, from clear
sound to hard distortion sound can be created.
@ Provided with the Send/Return (stereo) jacks, the GL-100
can be connected with an effect unit such as a reverb,
chorus and delay.
@ The GL-100 features two types of output sockets,
standard phone jack and XLR (balance) type connector,
and therefore can be used in various occasions, for
recording or on stage, etc.
Maintenance
@ For everyday cleaning, wipe the unit with a soft dry
cloth, or one that is dampened slightly. To remove dirt

gent. Afterwards, make sure to wipe thoroughly with a
soft cloth.
@ Never apply benzene, thinners, alcohol or any like agents,
