Selecting the Guitar or Bass
Set the GUITAR/BASS switch on the rear panel to match the
instrument you are playing, in accordance with the range in
which you are playing. Switch to GUITAR if you are using a
guitar; if using a bass, switch this to BASS.
* Note that the GI-20 may not operate properly if this setting is
not correct.

After the power is turned on, “Gt” (guitar) or “bG” (bass)
flashes in the display for several seconds, allowing you to
check the status of the GUITAR/BASS switch.
* This does not appear in the display when the GUITAR/BASS
switch setting is changed at a later point.

* With the factory settings, all of the GI-20’s patch
