With GT-100 Ver. 2, both PRIMARY and SECONDARY are being output to the computer; this means that by using two guitar tracks on your computer, you SEND/RETURN can record the dry sound and effect sound simultaneously. If you’re not happy with the effect sound from PRIMARY, you can play back ADJUST has been added. the simultaneously-recorded dry sound from SECONDARY, and send it through the effect chain of GT-100 Ver. 2 to modify the sound to your liking. Parameter Value Explanation USB PRIMARY Adjusts the phase between the GT-100’s internal processing and an external effect unit GT-100 USB OUT OUTPUT ADJUST 0–100 connected to the SEND/RETURN jacks.
