The EDIT mode lets you set up each of the G50’s pro-
grams for the response and playing features you require.
The EDIT mode includes 25 parameters, each identified
by a letter of the alphabet from “A” to “Y”. The param-
eters are divided into three groups according to function:

• Guitar Setup (parameters “A” through “G”)
• External TG Setup (parameters “H” through “P”)
• Realtime Control (parameters “Q” through “Y”)

The parameters are accessed and edited as follows:

eter appears on the left side of the display while the

. Edit the Parameter as Required

After selecting the desired parameter, use the [-1] and
[+1] buttons to set the parameter to the required value.
Continue selecting parameters and editing until the entire
program is set up the way you want it

3

. Return to the PLAY Mode

Press the [PLAY] button to return to the PLAY mode.

4

. Write (save) the Edited Program

Once you have edited a program and returned to the
PLAY mode, the program must saved to memory if you
want to keep the edited before you select a different
program. If you select a different program without saving
the edited data, the edited data will be lost and the
previous version of that program will be restored. The
save procedure is as follows:

Setting

Parameter letter

Edit Mode

1.

To save the edited program, first press the [+1] button

while holding the [PLAY] button. The current program

number will flash. If at least one parameter in the

program has been edited, a small “e” will appear on

the left side of the display.

2.

At this point you can choose to save the edited data

to a different program number by using the [-1] and

[+1] buttons to select the destination program

number.

3.

Finally, press the [

▼

] (“YES”) button again to actually

store the data in the specified program number. Press

[

▲

] (“NO”) if you want to cancel the save operation

at this point. If you choose to save, “don” (this stands

for “done”) will appear on the display briefly when

the data has been saved, then the G50 will return to

the PLAY mode with the destination program number

selected.

■

 NOTES

• Since you can save program data to a different program

number using the above procedure, you can also copy the

data from one program number to another location where

it can then be edited as required.

■

The Memory Swap Function

In addition to the memory save function described above,
the G50 also has a “Memory Swap” function which
makes it possible to swap the contents of the current
program with any other specified program.

1

. Engage the Memory Swap Function

Press the [-1] button while holding the [PLAY] button.
The current program number will flash and a small “s”
will appear on the left side of the display.

2

. Specify the Program to Swap With

Use the [-1] and [+1] buttons to select the number of the
program you want to swap the current program with.

3

. Swap the Programs

Press the [▼] (“YES”) button to swap the data in the
current and specified program number. Press [▲] (“NO”)
if you want to cancel the swap operation at this point. If
you choose to swap, “don” (this stands for “done”) will
appear on the display briefly when the data has been
saved, then the G50 will return to the PLAY mode.
