I
don't have a GT-3, but I do have a GT-6 and it has an output control on the
back side. I would assert to this if it were a GT-6 and I will suppose that it
is entirely possible with the GT-3. I accidentally did this by a combination
as follows I was using an electric violin with a passive piezo system and
switched to an electric guitar with higher output pickups. I had also switched
amplifiers and blindly plugged the setup together and proceeded to test this
setup. The amp was setup with the master and gain up and with the GT-6 patch I
chose I almost blew the speaker out of coarse I didn't continue to use these
settings, because I have some respect for the cost of my equiptment. I would
also suspect that this fellow might be covering up for his sons tendency to
abuse equiptment with his explanation. I would say that there are actually no
hidden features in either the GT3 or the GT6 just people who don't pay
attention to what they are doing or don't care ;-)
I have this boss who's son is attending a local
university that is reputed to be a good music school.
However, I keep hearing the most ridculous
assertions made by my boss pertaining to his son.
The latest was his son's Boss GT-3 was
responsible for blowing out the speakers on his Marshall stack. Due to some
'hidden' features of the GT-3 that not many people know or some such
drivel. Doesn't make sense to me. The output of a GT-3 (of which I had one
once) was a line level output if I remember correctly. How could the output
blow the speakers on a Marshall stack?
Regards and Merry... and Happy...
