Getting Ready

Connecting the Equipment

1
Turn down the volume of the
connected device

4
Turn on the power of the
amp(s)

PHONES jack
You can connect a set of headphones here.

OUTPUT jack
Connect these to your bass amp or mixer. If using a mono connection, use only the L/MONO jack.

* To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always turn down the volume, and turn off all the units before making any connections.

2
Connect your equipment to the OUTPUT jack(s)
USB COMPUTER port
Use a USB cable to connect to a computer and exchange audio data between the GT-1B and the computer (p. 8).

3
Connect your bass
INPUT jack
Connect your bass. The INPUT jack doubles as the power switch. Power to the unit is turned on when you plug into the INPUT jack; the power is turned off when the cable is unplugged.

AUX IN jack
Use a stereo-mini plug to connect your audio player. Use your audio player's volume control to control the volume of OUTPUT jacks and PHONES jack.

DC IN jack
This jack is for connecting an AC adaptor (BOSS PSA series; sold separately).
Use only the specified AC adaptor (PSA series), and connect it to an AC outlet of the correct voltage. Do not use any other AC adaptor, since this may cause malfunction.

* Before turning the unit on/off, always be sure to turn the volume down. Even with the volume turned down, you might hear some sound when switching the unit on/off. However, this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

CTL2, 3/EXP2 jacks (Connecting to External Pedals)
You can control various parameters by connecting an expression pedal (EV-30, Roland EV-5: sold separately) or a footswitch (FS-5U, FS-6, FS-7: sold separately). For details on the settings, refer to "Settings for CTL1, EXP1, and an External Pedal" (p. 9).

Installing the Batteries
Install four alkaline batteries (AA, LR6) in the battery compartment located on the bottom of the unit. * When turning the unit over, be careful so as to protect the buttons and knobs from damage. Also, handle the unit
carefully; do not drop it. * If you handle batteries improperly, you risk explosion and fluid leakage. Make sure that you carefully observe all of the
items related to batteries that are listed in "USING THE UNIT SAFELY" and "IMPORTANT NOTES" (separate sheet "USING THE UNIT SAFELY" and Owner's manual (p. 12)). * We recommend that you keep batteries installed in the unit even though you'll be powering it with the AC adaptor. That way, you'll be able to continue a performance even if the cord of the AC adaptor gets accidentally disconnected from the unit. * To prevent malfunctions or accidents, install or replace the batteries before connecting the unit to other equipment. * "BATTERY LOW" will appear on the display if the batteries are low. Replace them with new ones.
