Tips & Warnings
If some sounds are weak, adjust the pedals overall gain until you have the correct amount of signal going to your amp. Try hooking up two amps to the GT-8 and use two separate patches to get an interesting stereo sound.
Do not play on high volumes for an extended amount of time: it can damage your hearing.
