6 TASCAM GA-30CD
Thank you for purchasing a TASCAM GA-30CD
instrument amplifier. This guitar amp has 30 watts of
total output from the 6.5-inch center speaker and two
3-inch stereo speakers. TASCAM’s unique NeoTube
technology and the high-quality built-in effects give

additional external effects. You can also practice along
with your favorite music, play prerecorded backing
tracks during performances and otherwise use the
built-in CD player as you like.
Please study this manual thoroughly before using the
amp so that you understand how to use it properly. We

The GA-30CD has keys that function differently
depending on whether they are pressed briefly (less
than half a second) or pressed and held (more than
half a second). In this manual, instructions to press a
key , for example, “press VSA,” refer to brief presses,
while instructions to “press and hold the key” or, for
example, “press and hold OSC” refer to long presses.
The CD Trainer Control LCD usually shows the
elapsed track time, remaining track time or total
remaining CD time. In this manual, this is referred to
as the “time display.”
