36:12 CONCLUSION
38:40 END
Hello again, all! Many thanks for viewing; hopefully, this can help anyone using the Boss GT-6B. Adding external footswitches grants more access to more of the unit's onboard effects. Now, instead of being limited to an 'either/or' scenario with onboard pedals 1 - 3 (4 is Reverb/Delay, exclusively) and the CTL pedal, you can also assign the Expression Pedal, the Expression Pedal switch, and 2 other footswitches to get a much broader array of effects immediately available.
A FEW UPDATES/NOTES/CORRECTIONS...
2:02 Aside from the Expression Switch (button under the toe of the pedal), you can also assign the Expression Pedal itself to control an effect/parameters.
4:29 Please comment with any corrections to help me and any other viewers if I've explained the basic 'connection science' behind TS/TRS cables incorrectly...
17:08 Footswitch settings (may have repeated myself here...)
17:41 Footswitch polarity; may have repeated myself here, as well... Amp channel selection is the same as selecting between the modes in (for example) the Boss SD-2...
26:07 Assignable Effects: CL, SG, TW, Fz, Pre, Spk, PEq, Ph, Ch, R&D, Rv, Dly, NS, MST, MST BMP, FV, Bypass, Patch Select, Master BPM Tap, Dly Time Tap, MIDI start/stop, MMC, Effect Lvl Inc/Dec.
30:40 I need to see what the difference between 'Normal' and 'Toggle' are. I wonder if 'Normal' means that I can use an unlatched Footswitch with an LED, and the LED stays on/off, matching the processor effect status... See this awesome video by another Boss User explaining this, but using a Boss GT-1 coupled with an FS-7: ua-cam.com/video/Rp2XACtp3pA/v-deo.html I'll update, if so!
Please 'like' to help get this video to others who might find this video helpful, and comment with any updates/corrections, or if you have any questions.

      Hi! When you have a moment, perhaps gove this a go… (If needed, back up anything you care to keep before doing the factory reset.) Restore Boss GT-6B to factory settings: - Power on the pedal *while simultaneously holding* the COMPRESSOR TYPE and COMPRESSOR TYPE VARIATION buttons. (These 2 buttons are side-by-side in the upper-left under “Comp/Limiter” knobs…) - The display will show “Factory Reset”. - Release the buttons… then press the WRITE button. This should clear the internal memory and reload the factory settings, erasing all user data. Hope this helps… cheers! :)

OK… - Click the ‘Pedal Assign’ button (…between ’FX-1’ and ‘Tuner/Bypass’ buttons; below the ‘Patch Value’ rotary dial) - Click the Parameter < or > arrows until you get to ‘CTL PEDAL On’ (…if it says ‘off’, click the ‘Pedal Assign’ button to turn it ‘On’.) - Click the Parameter > arrow to get to ‘CTL PEDAL Target’ (This is where you assign which effect you want to use the CTL pedal to toggle on/off.) - Rotate the ‘Patch/Value’ Rotary Dial until you get to ‘pre:On/Off’ …this should be what you need to do for your case!

    Great Explanation! I just got my Boss GT-6B yesterday, but I'm overwhelmed... Never worked with effects, don't know anything about it, just a new guy in the effect world of bass effects, but I don't know where to start to edit certain sounds and effects. I mostly play funk, soul, disco etc. I found the user manual of this pedal: 84 pages long full of info! I hope I will learn to use this pedal properly so I can make the sounds I want to make (like good bass synth sounds, the sound of parliament etc..) Bc presets are a bit useless...

    • @fernfernacelli
      @fernfernacelli 8 місяців тому

      Hey! Welcome to it, BassBro! It can totally seem overwhelming, but I implore that you stick with it - it's AWESOME! I am (by NO means) an expert, but if ever you have any questions, please feel free to ask away! If I can assist in any way to help you get to something, I'd love to help! Depending on the band I'm working with, I play metal (my main band is an Iron Maiden tribute, but I don't use the GT-6B for it), rock, pop, hip/hop and rap, and some other genres as well. Like any effects unit, it's really just a bunch of smaller units put together for more options to have on hand; there is DEFINITELY a lot of great utility with it. Patches are great, but I do prefer to run it in 'Manual' mode as a row of stompboxes that I can toggle on/off on the fly. Sometimes, 'just a dab will do ya', but you can get as subtle or extreme as you like with it. Anyways; CONGRATULATIONS...

      @@rangeetch.lahiri2120 hey! Awesome that you are still playing… It’s one of my all-time favorites, ever. As for PC, I wish I could give you better advice, other than maybe playing with a controller… Most USB controllers are automatically compatible with PC - I play on console (PS/5, Xbox 360/One)… As for getting good weapons, I would look at your “Tech” items… There are buffs that offer a weapon drop, and rare drop… Between those, and finding weapons with those same stats and using them, you’ll have much better chances of getting great weapons to work with! I’m not sure how far you are in the game, but if you have opened up all of the challenges, challenge level 50 (where you’re on the platform and shooting all the insecticides “Galaga” style), that is one of the more fun, and easy methods for farming weapons and credits! Definitely farming for as many credits as possible… I have another video that I posted for additional looting as a quick trick on one of the earliest stages (it wasn’t my idea, it was from a magazine, and I posted it as a video for helping folks that might learn Visually)… Hope these help… Have a blast!

That said... - The Boss GT-6B manual is linked in the description. - I urge you to find 'your' sound with 'your' gear. I hope this was all clear enough to help someone get closer to where they were with their distorted bass/djent bass sound using the Boss GT-6B.

    I bought one of these in the late nineties and I still have it, and it's still in perfect working condition. Some nerdy stats and facts that might be useful to anyone who decides to fiddle around with this cool unit: - pedal 1 (the compressor/enhancer section) is actually turned OFF as soon as pedal 3 (the synth/auto wah section) is turned on, regardless of the actual state of pedal 1. This means that you cannot have compression and wah simultaneously. - unity gain is when you turn off all effects and set the master level to 43 (with the input attenuator at zero) - if you turn on the delay just for a short amount of time, and that happens to be shorter than the delay time (let's say you have a 1 second delay, but you kick in the delay for only 0-9 seconds for whatever crazy reason), then the feedback of the delay acts as if it's set to zero. This is actually a software glitch.

    • @fernfernacelli
      @fernfernacelli 10 місяців тому

      THANK YOU! When I first hooked everything up, ‘50’ seemed closest, but then dialed it back to ‘43’ for Unity Gain. I guess that means I still have ‘some’ of my hearing left! 😂 I never realized that relationships between compression and wah… I’ll need to sanity check what I’m doing with it all… also, insane glitch about the delay!

    Just got a Boss SD-2 and found out about the secret Yellow Mode. Now I'm an electronic techo, so after a bit of thinking I thought of an easier and cheaper way off achieving all three modes without an expression pedal. Get a "Peavey Multi-Purpose 2-Button Footswitch" or any cheap copy, I'm using a Daphon DF1912 @ $25.99 AUD. But it has to have 2 switches and a TRS plug. Open the pedal up and find the two wires that are the Tip and the Ring conductors, usually red and black. Get a 47Kohm resistor and join the two points, preferably solder them. This resistor will act like the cocked expression pedal. Button 1 On: will turn on the lead mode Button 2 On: will turn on the blended Yellow mode. Button1 & 2 On: will turn on lead mode. Button1 & 2 Off: will return to green mode. The only weird issue is that Button 1 acts as a master switch, so with it actuated button 2 will not have any effect on the sound until Button 1 is turned off. So it can be done with a $26 pedal and a $0.34c resistor.

      BRILLIANT!!! Sooo… while I’m not actually all that technically inclined, just looking at the set up that I was toying with made me quickly realize in my mind that there definitely had to have been an easier way to do it… Just that this was what I had, and the method for getting the third mode made sense to me. again, I did have a feeling that there might have been an easier way to do this… In fact, I had Parts set aside to attempt to make my own footswitch incorporating some of the other paths and parts… However, it looks like you found an excellent alternative… I will definitely need to give us a try. Many thanks for sharing! Cheers!

    What is the use of the expression pedal? If it is only because of the TRS-plug, can't you just buy a trs-plug and plug that in the B-connection of the A/B-switch (and perhaps connect two rings with eachother)?

    • @fernfernacelli
      @fernfernacelli 11 місяців тому

      Hi! So, the expression pedal is *solely* to make that connection happen… there’s no use in this setup “as an expression pedal”. I would imagine that you are absolutely correct (because that logic is totally sound), just that I haven’t tried that yet myself (unfortunately, I haven’t had much time to myself at all, as of late!). Additionally, I’m not all too technical, and am more of an experimental tinker…er ( *chuckling* ), so… If you try your method, pretty please let me know! I’d be curious… not only would it save much-needed real estate, but would be a really cool additional mod to the pedal on the housing itself, somehow! Ideally, they would not be anything other than just the pedal… With no bonus, extra paddles connected to it! I feel like that wouldn’t even really be hard to do, but again… I just haven’t tried it myself. Thanks for this thought/comment… hope to hear back from you on this - cheers! \m/, (*o*) ,\m/

    Is that an extra footswitch you’ve drilled into the top of the enclosure? Did you mod the pedal to be able to access the yellow mode without anything external?

    • @fernfernacelli
      @fernfernacelli Рік тому

      Hey! Pardons for missing this comment! Yes, that is an extra for switch that I drilled into the top. However, for the video, it was disconnected. I used the boss FS6. That said… That extra foot switch is simply connected to a quarter inch cable that connects to the “remote” jack. So, it only switches between the red and the green modes. In order to get to the yellow mode, the A/B switch needs to be connected to the remote jack… Hence, why are used the boss FS-6. Hope that makes sense!

    • @EarleMonroe
      @EarleMonroe Рік тому

      @@fernfernacelli It doesn’t completely make sense, but I get the basic gist which is that you need the external pedal to get to all 3 modes. I imagine that a mod is possible to get to all three with just one switch like the one drilled into yours, but it’s beyond my ability…

      Hey! Seriously, you’d just LAUGH if you saw it, but it’s as “simple” as wiring all of the “hots” together, wiring all of the “grounds” together, then wiring all of the power/battery lines together. I’m pretty astonished that this sort of thing hasn’t already been done before, but truth be told, no real advantages. I did it… just to *do* it. If you try it (at your own risk), please be careful, but have fun, and good luck! Cheers! :)

      theawesome person that is really great to hear, I have a good part of the concept out of my head and I'm going to be itching out the writing for at least the first few episodes. It will likely be a few-part episode to start, and I'll see where to go from there. I have a lot of really cool ideas, but want to be careful not to use any of the names of the characters, and not to use music that's out in the real world… I will need to write some of my own to really get the mood of the scenes. I would love to put together a soundtrack of a lot of the real music I have, but copywriting would be a hoot, and this is meant to stay as a fan made attempt. Anyway, kind words, and many thanks for the vote of confidence to make the attempt! Cheers, and happy New Year!
