Using the BOSS GP - 10GK is easy. First, connect your guitar to the unit. If you have a Roland GK - 3 divided pickup or other GK - compatible pickup, use the 13 - pin input. Otherwise, use the standard 1/4 - inch input. Then, power it on with the AC adaptor. You can start exploring different tones and tunings right away. To change tunings, look for the relevant buttons on the pedal. For instrument modelling, select the type of instrument you want to sound like. When it comes to effects, just choose from the available options to customize your sound.
For live playing or studio recording, connect the unit to your amplifier or DAW using the USB audio/MIDI interface. This also allows you to convert your guitar signal to MIDI and play computer - based soft synths.
As for maintenance, keep the pedal clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. When not in use, store it in a safe place. If you need to update the patches, use the BOSS TONE STUDIO editor/librarian available for Mac/Windows at bosstonecentral.com.
