Terms used in this manual

Patch memory

Combinations of amps and effects with their on/off settings and parameter values can be saved as "patch memories" for easy recall. Effects are saved and recalled in patch memory units. Up to 9 effects can be added to a patch memory, and up to 240 patch memories can be stored.

Bank

One group of 4 patch memories is a “bank”. Patch memories can be quickly recalled by switching banks. Up to 60 banks can be saved.

Effect type

The available effect types include various guitar effects and amp/cabinet simulation models. Effects can be selected from these types to be added to patch memories.

Using the touchscreen

Operating and setting the G6 can be done using the touchscreen. This section explains touchscreen operations.

on page 80.

• Changing the tempo will delete the recorded data.

NOTE

• If the pre-count function is ON (→“Setting the precount” on page 79), recording will start after the pre- count.

• Sound input through the AUX IN jack will not be recorded.

• See “Setting the looper” on page 32 for recording time, volume and other settings.

HINT

• Using an SD card, loops can be recorded for longer times and saved. Moreover, loops on the SD card can be recalled for playback and overdubbing. (→“Using SD cards” on page 37)

• During rhythm playback (→page77), quantization is enabled so even if the recording ending time is not exact, the loop will automatically be adjusted so that loop playback stays in time.

• Different play modes can be selected and the Menu Screen can be opened during loop playback. This allows patch memories to be selected and rhythms to be used, for example, while the loop continues to play.

To stop loop playback when doing other operations, press repeatedly and select or touch
