• Use only the attached power-supply cord. Also,
the supplied power cord must not be used with
any other device.
• Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord,
nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can
damage the cord, producing severed elements
and short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and shock
hazards!
• Make sure you always have the unit placed so it is
level and sure to remain stable. Never place it on
stands that could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.
• Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with
the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the
installation matches the input voltage specified on
the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors may use a
different polarity, or be designed for a different voltage,
so their use could result in damage, malfunction, or
electric shock.
• This unit, either alone or in combination with an
amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be
capable of producing sound levels that could
cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long
period of time at a high volume level, or at a level that is
uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or
ringing in the ears, you should immediately stop using
the unit, and consult an audiologist.
• Immediately turn the power off, remove the AC
adaptor from the outlet, and request servicing by
your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center,
or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on
the “Information” page when:
• The AC adaptor, the power-supply cord, or the plug
has been damaged; or
• If smoke or unusual odor occurs
• Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled onto
the unit; or
• The unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise has
• In households with small children, an adult
should provide supervision until the child is
capable of following all the rules essential for the
safe operation of the unit.
• At regular intervals, you should unplug the AC
adaptor and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe
all dust and other accumulations away from its
prongs. Also, disconnect the power plug from the
power outlet whenever the unit is to remain
unused for an extended period of time. Any
accumulation of dust between the power plug
and the power outlet can result in poor insulation
and lead to fire.
• Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to
share an outlet with an unreasonable number of
other devices. Be especially careful when using
extension cords—the total power used by all
devices you have connected to the extension
cord’s outlet must never exceed the power rating
(watts/amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive
loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat
up and eventually melt through.
• Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult
with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service
Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as
listed on the “Information” sheet.
• Should you remove the screw and the USB
connector cap, keep them in a safe place out of
children’s reach, so there is no chance of them
being swallowed accidentally.
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is
being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by
an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine,
microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a
motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical
appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit
to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not
practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a
power supply noise filter between this unit and the
electrical outlet.
302
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long
hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a
cause for concern.
307
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the
power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions
and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
Placement
351
• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment
containing large power transformers) may induce hum.
To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this
unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.
352a
• This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such
receivers.
352b
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications
devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of
this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience
such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices
so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch
them off.
355b
• When moved from one location to another where the
temperature and/or humidity is very different, water
droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage
or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in
this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must
allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation
has completely evaporated.
360
• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface
on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor
or mar the surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet
to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make
sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.
Maintenance
401a
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth
or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To
remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a
mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe
the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or
deformation.
Repairs and Data
452
• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s
memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs.
Important data should always be backed up on a another
MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer), or written down on paper
(when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid
the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when
circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we
regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and
Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
Additional Precautions
551
• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be
irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the
improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against
the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that
you periodically save a backup copy of important data
you have stored in the unit’s memory in another MIDI
device (e.g., a sequencer).
552
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents
of data that was stored in another MIDI device (e.g., a
sequencer). once it has been lost. Roland Corporation
assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
553
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks
and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
554
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
556
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you
will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s
internal elements.
558a
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use
headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about
those around you (especially when it is late at night).
559a
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise,
you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

Multi-Effects Processor Designed for Bass, Packed with the Latest
Technologies
The GT-10B’s original high-performance processors put BOSS’s wealth of bass expertise in a single package.
BOSS COSM effects have been precision-tuned to fully express all of the subtle fingering nuances that are characteristic of the
bass. It can truly be said that this is the definitive bass multi-effects processor.
Create Tones Intuitively with EZ TONE
The EZ TONE provides an innovative user interface that enables you to create your own tones with absolutely no special
knowledge of effect parameters needed.
Sound making on the EZ TONE is truly intuitive. EZ TONE shows you the way to create the sound with both graphical icons and
intuitive terms such as “SOFT” or “HARD.” Choose the basic sound you want according to the music genre, song imagery,
performance-style. Then you can shape the sound by just moving the cursor on the TONE GRID toward “SOFT” or “HARD.”
Now everyone can easily create his or her own tones the instant a sonic image comes to mind.
Phrase Loop Feature
The Phrase Loop feature lets you record and play loop performances, whereby you continue adding new sounds as the loop
plays.
The unit provides up to 38 seconds of recording time, which lets you switch effects as you continue to layer additional bass lines.
You can also take phrases recorded beforehand without effects and then apply the perfect tone, adding the effects as you play
back the phrase.
A Wide Variety of Tones with Parallel Chain
The GT-10B includes a “Parallel Chain” function that allows you to split the “chain”—the signal path—into two independent
chains, with full freedom to arrange effects in each chain in any order you want.
This feature also enables you to change the relative balance of sounds from the two chains according to volume or pitch, and
provides you with even greater precision in creating tones.
Works Like a Compact Effects Processor
Operating the GT-10B is like using compact effects processors. It’s easy to make super-fast tone adjustments, even in the middle of
live performances. Just select an effects type, then directly adjust the four optimal parameters with the front-panel knobs. Of
course, you can also switch the display to show all effect parameters to create tones with even more exacting detail.
Equipped with XLR Balanced Output Jacks
The GT-10B features two XLR type output jacks, enabling you to connect to PAs and recording decks.
High-Visibility Indicators
Foot pedal indicators and other lights all utilize brightly lit LEDs. Clearly visible in any situation, whether it be in a live outdoor
concert or up on a pitch-black stage, these indicators help ensure accurate operation.

Making the Connections
Connecting Directly to a Recording Mixer or PA Mixer (XLR Balanced Output)
The GT-10B features balanced outputs that utilize SUB OUTPUT jacks (XLR connectors). Although direct boxes are generally
used to connect bass (effects processor) outputs to mixers in concert halls and recording studios, you can connect the GT-10B
directly to the mixer, which lets you avoid degradations in the sound quality, as well as any additional problems that might
occur as the result of connecting multiple devices.
• The SUB OUTPUT level cannot be adjusted with the OUTPUT LEVEL knob.
• The OUTPUT SELECT function (p. 26) affects sounds from the OUTPUT jacks. The output from the SUB OUTPUT jacks will always be equivalent to the
sound that is output when the LINE/PHONES setting is used.

To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices,
always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices
before making any connections.
• Raise the amp volume only after turning on the power to all connected
devices.
• When connection cables with resistors are used, the volume level of
equipment connected to the INPUT jack may be low. If this happens,
use connection cables that do not contain resistors.
• When outputting in mono, connect the cable to the OUTPUT L/MONO
jack.
• Use only the specified expression pedal (Roland EV-5 or BOSS FV-500L;
sold separately). By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk
causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
• Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may
experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the
surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device,
microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of other
objects, such as basses. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical
charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned
about this, connect the ground terminal (see figure) with an external
ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending
on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the
connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an
authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.
Unsuitable places for connection
· Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
· Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)
· Telephone-line ground or lightning rod
(may be dangerous in the event of lightning)
• Place the AC adaptor so the side with the indicator (see illustration) faces
upwards and the side with textual information faces downwards.
The indicator will light when you plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

• When connecting an expression pedal to the EXP PEDAL2/CTL 3,4 jack, set the
minimum volume for the connected expression pedal to the “MIN” position.
• When connecting a BOSS FS-6 footswitch (optional) to the EXP PEDAL 2/CTL
3,4 jack, set the MODE switch and POLARITY switch as shown below.
Chapter

• You can use the special (optional Roland) PCS-31 connector cord to
connect two footswitches.
• When a BOSS FS-6 footswitch (optional) is connected to the CTL3,4 jack
with an optional connection cable (stereo 1/4” phone – stereo 1/4” phone),
pedal switch B operates according to the CONTROL 3 settings, and pedal
switch A operates according to the CONTROL 4 settings.
AC Adaptor
Indicator
• To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit (should the
plug be pulled out accidentally), and to avoid applying undue stress to
the AC adaptor jack, anchor the power cord using the cord hook, as
shown in the illustration.
• This instrument is equipped with balanced (XLR) type connectors.
Wiring diagrams for these connectors are shown below. Make
connections after first checking the wiring diagrams of other equipment
you intend to connect.

•
When using the unit with an expression pedal or a footswitch (the optional

About the Range of a Target’s Change
The value of the parameter selected as the target changes within the range defined by “Min” and “Max,” as set on the GT-10B.
When using an external footswitch, or other controller that acts as an on/off switch, “Min” is selected with Off (CLOSED),
and “Max” is selected with On (OPEN).
When using an external expression pedal or other controller that generates a consecutive change in the value, the value of
the setting changes accordingly, within the range set by the minimum and maximum values. Also, when the target is of an
on/off type, the median value of the received data is used as the dividing line in determining whether to switch it on or off.
When using the footswitch:
When using the EXP Pedal:
When controlling the On/Off target with the
EXP Pedal:
* The range that can be selected changes according to the target
setting.
* When the “minimum” is set to a higher value than the
“maximum,” the change in the parameter is reversed.
* The values of settings can change if the target is changed
after the “minimum” and “maximum” settings have been
made. If you’ve changed the target, be sure to recheck the
“minimum” and “maximum” settings.

(Internal Pedal System)
The GT-10B features a function called Internal Pedal system. This function assigns specified parameters to a virtual expression
pedal (the internal pedal), providing an effect that automatically changes volume and tone in real time just the way an expression
pedal functions.
The Internal Pedal system features the following three functions, allowing you to set Source for each ASSIGN No.1-8 of the
“Manual Settings” (p. 52).
* When the Internal Pedal or the Wave Pedal is used, set the ASSIGN Src Mode to Moment.

Internal Pedal
With the trigger you have set, the assumed expression pedal starts working. If you have set INTERNAL PDL to Source, set the Int
Trig parameter.
For more detailed information on the parameters that can be set using Internal Pedal, refer to “Int Trig (Internal Pedal Trigger)” (p. 126), “Int Time (Internal Pedal
Time)” (p. 126), and “IntCurve (Internal Pedal Curve)” (p. 126).
Wave Pedal
This changes the parameter selected as a target in a certain cycle with the assumed expression pedal. When you have set Wave
Pedal for Source, the WaveRate and Waveform should be set.
For more detailed information on the parameters that can be set using Wave Pedal, refer to “WaveRate (Wave Pedal Rate)” (p. 126) and “Waveform (Wave Pedal

Phrase Loop Play
What’s Phrase Loop?
In this mode, you can record up to 38 seconds of material (recorded in mono) and repeatedly play material as a “phrase loop.” As
the loop plays, you can overdub new material if desired.
You can record a phrase loop with effects, or you can add effects after a loop has been recorded. Adding effects after-the-fact lets
you create special effects with recorded performances. It’s also a great way to audition tones, as you can adjust effect parameters
in real time while a phrase plays back.
Recorded phrases are deleted when Phrase Loop is switched off or when the power is turned off.

The maximum recording time for monaural
recording is approximately 38 seconds. When the
recording time reaches 38 seconds, playback of the
recorded performance starts automatically.
Recording on top of an existing performance is
called “overdubbing.”
If you want to overdub additional material, repeat

External MIDI Devices Connected
What Can You Do with MIDI?
You can perform the following operations using MIDI with the
GT-10B.
The use of MIDI requires that the MIDI channels of the connected devices
match. If the MIDI channel settings are not correct, the GT-10B will be unable
to exchange data with other MIDI devices.
Operating From the GT-10B
Remotely Controlling the GT-10B
Using an External MIDI Device
Switching Patch Numbers
When the GT-10B receives Program Change messages from the
external MIDI device, its patches are simultaneously switched.
Outputting Program Change Messages
When a patch is selected on the GT-10B, a Program Change
message corresponding to the patch number is transmitted
simultaneously. The external MIDI device then switches its
settings according to the Program Change message it receives.
fig.08-010
Outputting Control Change Messages
Data describing the actions of the CTL pedal, EXP Pedal, EXP
PEDAL SW, and external devices connected to the EXP PEDAL
2/CTL 3, 4 jack are output as Control Change messages. Such
messages can be used to (among other things) manipulate the
parameters of an external MIDI device.
Transmitting Data
You can use Exclusive messages to transmit the settings for
effect sounds and other content stored in the GT-10B to other
MIDI devices. For example, you can provide another GT-10B
with the same settings, and save effect sound settings to a
sequencer or other device.
You can set up the correspondence between MIDI Program Change messages
and the GT-10B’s patches using the Program Change Map (p. 88). You may
need to work on these correspondences when you want to line up some effects
in combination with other MIDI devices.
The connections shown in the figure below are for a sequencer
automatically performing the backing as a bass is being
played. The patches are switched automatically when the
program numbers corresponding to the patches are input
along with the performance data at the points where you have
determined the GT-10B patches are to be switched.
Chapter
6
Receiving Control Change Messages
You can control specified parameters during a performance by having the GT10B receive Control Change messages. Parameters to be controlled are set with
“Manual Settings” (p. 52).
Receiving Data
The GT-10B can receive data transmitted from another GT-10B,
as well as data that’s been stored on a sequencer.
Exchanging MIDI Messages between the Computer and the GT-10B
If the Driver Mode parameter set to the Advanced (p. 95), and you connect the GT-10B to your PC/Mac by a USB cable, you
can transfer MIDI message bidirectionally via USB.
Set your computer MIDI input and output ports to “GT-10B.”
However, MIDI message transfer via GT-10B’s MIDI connectors become inactivated in this situation.

numbers, until the Program Change Map is completed.
Changing Patches Using Bank Select Messages
A bank select message consists of a set of two control change messages, the controllers numbered 0 (CC#0) and 32 (CC#32).
Normally, you select a sound by using the bank select message followed by a program change message. On the GT-10B, these
messages are used for changing patch numbers.
Changing Patch Numbers on an External MIDI Device from the GT-10B
When a patch is selected on the GT-10B, the bank select and program change messages sent from the GT-10B correspond with
each other as shown below.
• If you wish to know whether the receiving device can recognize bank select messages or not, refer to the description for control changes in the MIDI
implementation chart provided in the owner’s manual of the receiving device.
• If the receiving device does not recognize bank select messages, it will ignore the bank select messages and recognize only the program change messages.

What is a USB Driver?
A USB driver is software that acts as a go-between in transferring data between computer applications (such as recording
software and sequencer software) and the USB device when the computer and USB device are connected using a USB cable.
The USB driver transmits data from the applications to the USB device, and conversely, passes messages from the USB
device to the applications.
to a Computer Via USB
With the GT-10B, you can use USB to transmit both digital audio signals between the GT-10B and your computer.
Before Connecting with USB
Installing and Setting the USB Driver
Just by connecting the GT-10B to your PC/Mac with a USB cable, audio signal can be transferred bidirectionally via USB.
When the Driver Mode parameter (p. 95) set to the Standard, your PC/Mac uses a standard driver that is found on OS. The driver
will be installed automatically once connected with your computer via USB.
The GT-10B supports the following compatible OS:
• Windows XP/Vista
• Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later
When the Driver Mode parameter (p. 95) set to the Advanced and use specialized driver, you can record, play back, and edit
audio with high-quality sound and stable timing.
It also allows you to control the GT-10B using MIDI messages via USB.
You can download the special GT-10B driver from the Roland local website.
Install the special GT-10B driver before you connect the GT-10B to your PC/Mac.
The program and procedures for installing the driver vary according to the operating environment; carefully read the Readme
included in the downloaded file.

Exchanging MIDI Messages between the Computer and the GT-10B
If the Driver Mode parameter set to the Advanced (p. 95), and you connect the GT-10B to your PC/Mac by a USB cable, you can
transfer MIDI message bidirectionally via USB.
Set your computer MIDI input and output ports to “GT-10B.”
However, MIDI message transfer via GT-10B’s MIDI connectors become inactivated in this situation.
For more on MIDI-related settings, refer to “Making the Settings for MIDI Functions” (p. 84).

This is an effect that produces a long sustain by evening out
the volume level of the input signal. You can switch it to a
limiter to suppress only the sound peaks and prevent
distortion.

This limiter lets you divide the input signal into
four separate bands—ultra low, low, high, and
ultra high frequency ranges—and apply different settings to the low and high frequency ranges. You can set the frequencies separating each
band using the Xover f L, M, and H parameters.

The limiter is applied neither to the ultra low range,
which is critical to the bass’s sound, nor to the ultra

This compressor is configured using the same
frequency divisions as Multi Band, but with
simplified parameter settings.
Parameter/
Explanation
Range
Sustain *1
0–100
Adjusts the range (time) over which low-level
signals are boosted. Larger values will result in
longer sustain.
Attack
Adjusts the strength of the picking attack when
0–100
the strings are played. Higher values result in s
sharper attack, creating a more clearly defined
sound.
Threshold *2
0–100
When the input signal level exceeds this threshold level, limiting will be applied.
Ratio *2
1:1–∞:1
This selects the compression ratio used with
signals in excess of the threshold level. Higher
values create a stronger compression effect.
Release *2
0–100
Adjusts the time from when the signal level
drops below the threshold until when limiting
is removed.
Lo Thres *3
In the Low Frequency Range, when the input
0–100
signal level exceeds this threshold level, limiting will be applied.
Lo Ratio *3
In the Low Frequency Range, this selects the
1:1–∞:1
compression ratio used with signals in excess of
the threshold level. Higher values create a
stronger compression effect.
Hi Thres *3
0–100
In the High Frequency Range, when the input
signal level exceeds this threshold level, limiting will be applied.
Hi Ratio *3
In the High Frequency Range, this selects the
1:1–∞:1
compression ratio used with signals in excess of
the threshold level. Higher values create a
stronger compression effect.
Xover f L (Crossover Frequency Low) *3
32Hz–315Hz
This sets the frequency dividing the ultra lowand low-frequency ranges.
Xover f M (Crossover Frequency Middle) *3
100Hz–4.00kHz
This sets the frequency dividing the low- and
high-frequency ranges.
