Editing a Patch
Any patch in the GT-8 can be edited to your liking.
Use the following steps to edit a patch. In this
example, we’ll turn on and the adjust the parameters
of the delay, chorus and noise suppressor.
1. Select a patch to edit.
2. Press the DELAY button until “Delay On”
appears in the display, and then use the PATCH
VALUE dial and PARAMETER buttons to
adjust the delay parameters as desired.
3. Press the CHORUS button until “Chorus On”
appears in the display, and then use the PATCH
VALUE dial and PARAMETER to adjust
the chorus parameters.
Tip: Press any effect button twice to toggle its effect
on and off.
4. Press MASTER until “Noise Suppressor”
appears in the display. If the noise suppressor is
off, turn the PATCH/VALUE dial clockwise to
select On. Use the PATCH/VALUE dial and
PARAMETER to adjust the noise
suppressor parameters as desired.
5. When you’re finished, press EXIT.

to re-position.
