Boss GT-10B

I can't get the bank pedals to advance to the next set of user banks while in manual mode all it does is cycle thru -1 thru 4 in U01 instead of advancing to U02 1-4 & so on & so forth.
I know I can do it with the wheel but that seems ridiculous to have to do that especially at a gig where I usually have a couple seconds to change things.

I like to set things up like I have a bunch of stomp boxes so I leave it in manual mode all the time since that seems to be the only way to achieve that.
So far I don't care at all for the patch system in the GT10b ... I liked the GT6B way of doing it better but I hope I'm just missing this somehow ....

EDIT: OK I figured out how to get it to change banks ... but I loose the sub banks ....

Have you tried the Auto Manual Mode as described last page back?
By using an Assign to operate from "Input Level", have the GT-10B in patch mode when not playing/between songs you can change patch, and when you start playing, the input level triggers the assign to set Manual mode 'on'.

Thanks gumtown .. I got it working to suit me mostly ...

I still think the 6b is way easier to program, granted it doesn't do quite as much, but still, I think Boss tried so hard to make the 10b easy for stupid people that they made the interface a mess IMHO.

Don't get me wrong I like the 10b very much & it def lets me do things I couldn't do before with the 6b but I think the interface is unnecessarily menu heavy & clunky.

Build your own.

* Project box
* 2 footswitches
* 1/4" TRS jack
* 1/4" TRS cable

$10 or so at Radio Shack or an electronic store. Mount the switches and jack, solder together, connect to GT-10B, viola!

Downside is no LED indicators. But you can make the pedal as small as you need VS the huge FS-6

you need to make sure the switches are the type that are "on" by default not "off" by default like 99% of all switches are.

it will do strange things if you use the wrong type of switch

All the boss stuff uses the default "on" type of switch.

and for those who use other pedals?
Where do you put them?
Before the gt10b? after? or in the effect loop?

In the FX loop, if possible. Lets you control the input/output/location as well as put those pedals in Channel B in case you want to blend them in. Anything in front will obviously totally color the signal going into the GT-10B.

Can one of you GT10b vets (Gastric, Gumtown) help me?

Is there a way to globally set a compressor model where it stays the same in all patches & is it possible to have it stay on all the time even in bypass?

I don't think it is but you guys know these things inside & out

Thanks

If you use the GT-10BFxFloorBoard editor software, there is a feature to write your preferred Compressor setting to a group (or all) of User patches in one operation, so all the patches will have the same compressor effect setting.
Just by opening the compressor edit-page, hit the "Bulk Write" button, and follow the dialog.

It's not that difficult to manually put the compressor in the beginning of each of your patches.

* GT-10B lets you save 10 favorite effect settings per effect. Thus you can setup 10 quick-recall compressor settings, with a custom name even.
* GT-10B is super easy to edit the signal chain. Just move the comp to where you want it.

Adding your favorite comp to your current patch should take 15-30 seconds of your time total using the hardware interface. I'm not berating anyone. Just illustrating that it should be super easy to add a "global" compressor to all of your patches. :)

If you have 100 patches you genuinely use, yes it could be annoying. If so, just use Gumtowns awesome and FREE software to do a bulk write as he described.
