TASCAM GA-30CD 15
You can choose the speaker(s) that output the effect
signal. Press OUTPUT to cycle through the settings.
Either or both the CENTER and SIDE indicators light
according to the setting. However, the side speakers
cannot be selected for the Auto-wah effect.
CENTER: Effect signal is output by the center speaker
along with the dry guitar signal (standard setting).
SIDE: Effect signal is output by the side speakers.
Sending the dry guitar signal and the effect signal to
different speakers can create a unique spacious sound.
CENTER + SIDE: The effect is output by the center
speaker and the side speakers. Set the balance using the
SIDE and CENTER VOLUME knobs.
NOTE
Output speaker selection greatly changes the sound.
Adjust the tone quality as you switch between
output settings to achieve a sound you like.
The GA-30CD’s built-in reverb simulates a classic
guitar amp spring reverb.
Use the REVERB knob to adjust the reverb signal
output level.
The knob position always determines the reverb setting.
It is not saved with banks.

Effect banks
The GA-30CD has 2 banks (A and B) to store effects
and reverb settings.
Bank settings are stored in built-in memory each time a
parameter is adjusted or the bank is changed.
When the unit is new, the A bank is set to CHORUS
and the B bank is set to DELAY. If you use the FXRS
item in the Setup menu, these effects and their settings
will be reset. (See “Initializing effect banks” on page 19
for details.)
Choosing the output
Use the bank selection key to change between banks
A and B. You can recall different types of effects by
switching banks.
The indicator lights next to the active bank (A or B).
The effect settings made with the knobs are
automatically saved to the active bank, so no special
operation is necessary to save your changes.
The effect settings of a bank match the previously saved
state when recalled, so the knob positions may not show
the current parameter values. In such cases, moving a
knob will immediately cause the knob setting to effect
the parameter.
NOTE
When a bank is recalled, the indicator will show the
selected bank, but the position of the effect knobs
(1, 2 and LEVEL) will not change, therefore they
will not match the bank settings. Move any knob to
change the associated parameter value to the knob’s
current position.
