Chapter 6 Using the Customize Function
With the GT-6’s Customize function, you can rely on your 
own sensibilities and create a totally new effect by tweaking 
the settings for the “Preamp/Speaker Simulator,” 
“Overdrive/Distortion,” and “Pedal Wah.” The result can 
then be saved on the GT-6 as “Custom” settings.
You can also use these custom settings in other patches.
Making “Custom” Preamp
