Hello, I'm a NOOB on pedals. Just bought GT-10B and I need to know how to use TREMOLO. Can someone help me? Thank you !

Eddie B: You will want this eventually, so might as well get it now. Cheers.
The GT-10B comes with a handful of "quick" effect settings with each effect. Select FX1 or FX2, scroll to Tremolo, audition the "quick" you want, and there you go. Then you need to go to the Master section and then adjust the Pedal FX or Assigns to enable you to turn the tremolo on/off with one of the footpedals. Then save the whole thing to a patch for you to easy recall.
hey can someone give me quick and easy instructions on how to set the tuner to turn on when you turn the vol off with the expression pedal ? I have a try out tonight and want easy access to the tuner. Tried to figure it out in the manual but but it's not making sense to me yet.
I've personally opted for the tuner to come on when you press the patch pedal a second time as it's easy to remember and doesn't take away anything from your CTRL/EXP.
System > Play > Num Pdl Sw = Tuner

Thanks, but wasn't my idea. But it seems like the general concerns that its probably the best tuner solution.
Note if you have your tuner set to MUTE, which most probably do, then you can accidentally mute your entire signal if you accidentally enable your tuner. Considering how rarely you probably use your tuner it's probably not a horrible option to simply bend over and press the tiny "tuner/bypass" button. Though I hate bending over.

I use a Roland GR-20 synth in the External Loop of the GT-10B, but only in the Return to mix in with the Bass.
The GR-20 synth sounds are midi generated, so the External loop Send of the Gt-10B is not required in this situation, only the Return as an Insert point.
If I could afford it, I'd run an external synth and a whammy pedal (for some reason the pitch bend/ whammy was far superior on my old Boss ME 30).
Hey Gumtown, need your expertise!
I can get a fixed pitch into Sound Hold on FX1, but when I try to feed that into the Bass Synth, the synth won't track it! It just silences out the sound hold and (removes?) sound hold from the sig chain.
Looks like sound hold is a sub-bus that takes everything in the chain PRIOR to it, and just sums it with the output of the chain EXCLUDING it.
Is this right?

Here's a 7MB MP3 of a loop cycled through a bunch of patches I've been working on for general electronica/synth sounds that actually sound like a bass synth instead of the typical high voiced synth that nearly all of the factory synth patches provide. The lack of synth filter sweep features, and the lack of any good sounding separate filter effects really hamper my ability to get a huge variety of good synth type sounds. A couple of clean patches slipped in there, too. And a couple of patches where I try a LFO type sound are in there but not auditioned well due to the loop playing, LFO needs long held notes.
Signal chain: bass > GT-10B > BOSS OC-2 OCT1 in FX LOOP > GT-10B OUT to interface on left channel, out to Mesa Titan which is DI out to right channel. Note a few of the patches use the Mesa tube overdrive so look for those on the right channel. Some of the patches push +40db of bass into the OC-2 to clip it which really fattens up it's output even more.
Compiled this for patch review for some musicians I'm trying to work with and thought I'd share here.
Note for the LFO type sounds I've actually found the UNI-V works best as opposed to WAVE PDL into a Wah or something. Still exploring, tweaking, trying various signal chains. I'd like to move the OC-2 in front of the GT-10B but it sounds much better in the FX LOOP as you can clip it and plus you get all of the input triggering off your clean bass instead of the OC-2 signal. But I'd love to get my Source Audio Bass Filter into the FX LOOP instead so I can get some actual decent sounding filtering in there.
Fun adventure trying to squeak out as much synth/experimental fun out of just the GT-10B and OC-2.

BEHOLD!!!
I give to you..... The bass synth ARPEGGIO!!! WOOOOOO!!!!
Again, just the Boss GT-10B with an OC-2 in the FX LOOP. Played with just 3 notes, the effects do the rest.

Just got my 10b a week ago. Haven't had much time to really figure it out but I think my pedal switch isn't working. How can I find out for sure?
Have you calibrated it?
It is not actually a physical switch, but the extra 1% pedal movement when it compresses the rubber end stop block.
In the GT-10B menu is a section to calibrate the pedal when you scroll through the menu >>> way to the end.
To test the switch, either find a preset patch which uses it, or use the Pedal/Fx setting or an Assign to make use of it.
My laptop speakers probably didn't do it justice. Interesting though, it must be being overdriven really hard somewhere.BEHOLD!!!

The GT-10 (not B) has a fairly good 16 note arpeggio called Auto Riff, which used to be in the GT-6B (called Auto Slap).
all i can think about lately is when will i be able to get a new Roland GR-55..
hmmmm..
The particular clip is using an overdriven OC-2 in the FX loop with the PS in front which is why it sounds extremely dirty. But I've applied the same WAVE PDL controlling the Pitch Shifter technique to other patches that sound cleaner.
The downside, and I keep coming back to this over and over again, is I cannot personally use any of the heavily rate based patches I create due to tempo drift, but mostly due to the fact I cannot seem to reset the LFOs. What I mean, is if I create a patch that uses the Pitch Shifter to jump an octave on the 1 and 3 and the tempo drifts, I tap tempo back onto the click, eventually the octave is jumping on the wrong beats and there's no way to reset it back to the 1 and 3. At least I haven't been able to figure it out.
I haven't revisited MIDI CLOCK lately, but my recollection is the issue was worse because you cannot correct the drift as the tap tempo is totally disabled so you're at the mercy of GT-10B's automated clock with that.
I hope to have some additional patches done this week and I'll explore my beat-synced issues in more detail. I'll then share the patches in question, try to produce a video to illustrate my problems, that way other people can try my patches and try reproducing my issues. Hopefully someone else can either tell me what I' doing wrong, or validate that a problem actually exists so I can try my best to hound Roland for some assistance.
BTW I'm hot for that GR-55. But only if they have a lot of synth features. Can I finally get two similar-sounding saws, but detuned 9 semitones from each other for some super fat unison sounds? Actual full featured ASDR filtering with up/down sweeps? How about some VCA so I don't have to use Slow Gear to try to manipulate synth attack? Blendable suboctaves so I don't have to use an octave effect separately? I will miss the variety of outputs the GT-10B offers, and the FX LOOP.

I am in a 3 piece cover band and we are doing dreams by molly hatchet. is there any one out there that could help me make a patch that would have a bass sound coming out of channel a and a distortion guitar out of chanel b? i havent got a grasp yet on how to make Patches yet on the gt-10-b. i have figured out how to copy them and move them into slots U-01-1 TO U10-01. i relly would love to have that sound and i believe it would make that song sound alot better
THANKS FOR ANY HELP

Hey man that's pretty nice.. I am still using the stock patches I like that I have basically just moved over to the user section.... but some of those synth sounds sound PDG...
