An Extra Onboard System-Wide Controller
The GT-10 has one more onboard system-wide controller we haven’t
mentioned yet: the number foot switch for the currently selected patch.
As you’re probably aware, GT-10 patches are organized in banks of four
patches each. Patches within the currently selected bank can be chosen
by foot using the four numbered foot switches on the front panel (shown
above). When a particular patch number (1-4) is selected, the LED on its
corresponding numbered foot switch lights.
As long as a particular patch is selected, its foot switch is idle. BOSS engineers
smartly recognized this, and they’ve given you the ability to assign your
choice of a few often-used functions to that idle switch.
If you’re not familiar with using the BANK and 1-4 switches to select
patch banks and patches on the GT-10, refer to the GT-10 Owner’s
Manual.
The following table shows the functions that are available for assignment.
Function What it Does
Off No assignment.
Tuner Turns the tuner on and off.
Ch. A/B Switches between Preamp CHANNEL A and B.
OD Solo Switches OD/DS SOLO on/off.
Solo Switches Preamp SOLO on/off for the currently
selected channel: A or B.
A&B Solo Simultaneously switches Preamp SOLO on/off for
both CHANNEL A and B.

To use the realtime control assignment you’ve just made, simply press the
numbered foot switch for the currently selected patch number (it’s the one
with the lit LED).
Carrying Over the Current Expression Pedal Value
While Switching Patches
If you use a particular expression pedal function in a number of different
patches—such as foot volume or wah—you may want to have the current
pedal position (and its subsequent controller value) carry over when
changing patches. This is accomplished with the Expression Pedal Hold
function.
