by a preamp; for example, you should connect to a RETURN
jack rather than to a guitar input jack which is aected by the
preamp of your guitar amp.
Using the Tuner
The GT-1000 is equipped with a conventional monophonic tuner
which lets you tune your instrument one string at a time, and a
polyphonic tuner which lets you play and tune all of your open strings
simultaneously.

Editing: Eects
Switching patches without interrupting the sound
The GT-1000 is equipped with a new type of high-speed patch
switching system, allowing you to switch patches with minimal
interruption of the sound. The fastest possible switching is
automatically performed for each patch, and switching without
interrupting the sound is also possible.
Tips for preventing interruptions in the sound
To prevent interruptions in the sound, observe the following points
when you create the patches that are used before and after the switch.
5 Avoid changing the position of blocks within the chain.
5 Use multiple blocks when placing the eects (don’t change the
TYPE within the same block).
5 Use parallel positioning, and switch the channel.
Example:
Switching from a clean sound that uses chorus and deep delay, to a
crunch sound that uses phaser and shallow delay.

Looper
You can record up to 38 seconds (MONO) of a performance and play back the recorded section over and over. You can also layer additional
performances with the recording as it plays back (overdubbing).
This lets you create real-time backing performances on the y.
When the play screen (p. 4) is shown, pressing the [1]–[5] switch of the currently selected patch number (example: for U01-1, switch [1]; for U01-5, switch
[5]) turns the looper on. The same switch is used for all looper operations.
Record
Recording will start immediately
when you press the switch.
At the point where you want to
loop, press the pedal to switch to
playback.
Loop Playback
Play back the loop.
Pressing the switch will switch to
overdubbing.
Loop Playback Level Setting
If you set the playback level at 100 (default value), the volume of the
performance and that of the loop playback will be identical.
If you set the playback level to a value lower than 100, the volume of
the playback will be lower than that of the performance. As a result,
the sound of the performance won’t get buried by the loop playback
sound, even if you record a multiple number of times.
1. Press the [EFFECT] button.
2. Turn knob [6] to select LOOPER.
3. Turn knob [1] to specify the “PLAY LEVEL” value.
