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 eects to the sound by pressing the following pedals while you play.
Expression pedal
When you operate this pedal while playing,
the eect assigned to each patch will be
applied.
Normally, the volume will change, but
depending on the patch, a variety of other
eects 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 dierent function. Normally,
it will control an eect such as wah pedal,
but this too may be assigned to a dierent
eect depending on the patch.
You can change each of these eects
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 eect specied 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 eect to your taste (p.61).
