Quick Guide
This section explains the basic operation steps, allowing you to use the unit right away.
Selecting a patch
To select a patch, press one of the foot
switches [1] - [3] whose LED is not lit.
The single effects (effect modules) in the GFX-3
can be combined, and parameter settings for each
effect can be changed to achieve a desired sound.
Such a combination of effects with certain
parameter settings is called a patch. Patches are
always called onto the panel in banks of three, and
the foot switches [1] - [3] are used to select the
patch.
GroupBank number
To switch to a patch in another group or
bank, use the BANK [Q]/[W] keys and
then the foot switches [1] - [3].
Patches are organized in user groups (U, u) which
can be modified, and preset groups (A, b) which are
read-only. Each group comprises ten banks
numbered from 0 to 9, and each bank has three
patches.
Altering an effect

The BANK [Q]/[W] keys select groups and banks with the pedal
in the order U0 - U9, u0 - u9, A0 - A9, b0 - b9.
