Expression pedal (G1X only) Top Panel (G1X) Module selector Can be used as a volume pedal or as a real-time controller for effect parameters.
PAGE 4
Selecting a Patch Selecting a Patch To try out the various effects of the G1/G1X, we recommend that you simply play your instrument while switching patches. Turn power on When using the G1/G1X on batteries, plug a shielded cable with mono phone plug into the [INPUT] jack on the rear panel of the G1/G1X. Adjust the master level To adjust the master level in play mode, you can use the [VALUE] knob.
PAGE 5
Using the Tuner Using the Tuner The G1/G1X incorporates an auto-chromatic tuner. To use the tuner function, the built-in effects must be bypassed (temporarily turned off) or muted (original sound and effect sound turned off). Adjusting the reference pitch of the tuner If required, you can fine-adjust the reference pitch of the G1/G1X tuner. Turn the [VALUE] knob. When you turn the [VALUE] knob in the bypass/mute condition, the current reference pitch is shown for a time on the display.
PAGE 6
Using the Rhythm Function Using the Rhythm Function Adjust the rhythm volume The G1/G1X has a built-in rhythm function that plays realistic drum sounds in various patterns. The rhythm function is available in play mode and in rhythm mode. This section describes how to use the function in rhythm mode. 25 To adjust the rhythm volume, turn the [VALUE] knob. When you turn the [VALUE] knob, the current setting (0 – 30) is shown for a time on the display.
PAGE 7
Editing a Patch Editing a Patch Change the setting The patches of the G1/G1X can be freely edited by changing the effect parameter settings. Try editing the currently selected patch to create your own sound. Use the [VALUE] knob to change the effect type and parameter as shown on the display. Select the effect module/ parameter When the effect type and/or parameter setting has been changed, a dot (.) appears in the bottom right of the display. This indicates that a setting has been changed.
PAGE 8
Storing/Copying Patches Storing/Copying Patches An edited patch can be stored in a bank of the user area (A – d). It is also possible to store an existing patch in another location to create a copy. To cancel the store process To cancel the store process, operate the [VALUE] knob before pressing the [STORE] key again in step . In play mode or edit mode, press the [STORE] key. The bank and patch number are shown on the display as a flashing indication.
PAGE 9
Using a Foot Switch or Pedal Changing the Way Patches Are Called Up In normal operation, changing a patch in play mode of the G1/G1X will be active immediately. This means that the sound changes straight away when you make the selection. In some cases, such as when the new patch is at a memory location not adjacent to the current one, this method may not be ideal, because the sound will change in various ways as you switch through the patches.
