Selecting and Playing Sounds
Selecting a User Patch
New patches that you create are saved in the GR-55 as “user patches” (p.18).
Press the [USER] button to select user patches in Step 1 of “Selecting a Sound (Patch).”
The rest of the procedure is the same as when selecting a preset patch.
Playing Your Guitar
You can apply eects to the sound by pressing the following pedals while you play.
Expression pedal
When you operate this pedal while playing,
the eect assigned to each patch will be
applied.
Normally, the volume will change, but
depending on the patch, a variety of other
eects may be assigned.
If you depress this pedal completely, placing
your weight on the toe, the EXP PEDAL SW
indicator will light, and the expression pedal
will switch to a dierent function. Normally,
it will control an eect such as wah pedal,
but this too may be assigned to a dierent
eect depending on the patch.
You can change each of these eects
according to your taste (p.61).
* When operating the expression pedal,
be careful so as not to get your toes
pinched between the moving portion
and the main part of the GR-55. If there
are young children in your household,
don’t let them use or play with the
GR-55 without adult supervision.
[CTL] pedal
When you press this pedal while playing, an eect specied for each patch will be applied; for example,
raising the synthesizer sound by an octave, or extending the decay of the synthesizer note you’re playing.
You are also free to change this eect to your taste (p.61).
