Effects
The GA-100CD has built-in effects and reverb. In both
CLEAN and OVERDRIVE channels, the guitar signal
passes through the preamp before being processed by
the effect and then the reverb in that order.
External effects can also be connected to the EFFECT
SEND and EFFECT RETURN jacks on the rear panel.
