I use this to cover quite a few tunes live

Clean Twin is first amp
S1 turns on the Mesa light crunch 2nd amp
CTL turns the Leslie/Rotary speed up
EXP pedal is B3 volume
S2 amp solo boost
Delay level GK volume pot
I do use a GE-7 in my home brew effect loop sometimes but
if you have your passive pups enabled it will still work

S1 & S2 are assignable momentary switches on the GK-3 hex PU

THANK YOU, I have a fender- roland guitar w those 2 buttons but I use then for banks. Toby mentions " S1 turns on the Mesa light crunch 2nd amp" how do I get this? if I open the patch on the floorboard I can only get the clean channel and organ.

Change the GK controls from " SYSTEM" to "PATCH"

In the System area, select "PATCH SETTING" for GK SWITCH 1 (S1) and GK SWITCH 2 (S2)

There are far more than three settings for the SYSTEM  / PEDAL & GK settings for  SWITCH S1 under the Settings area 



You can get MANY different sounds using just one GR-55 Patch

QuoteGR-55 - Multi Control Patch

Here is a patch that experimented with some new control ideas I had. it is your basic Rock Marshal sound but I made some intresting controls in it.
1. when the Expression pedal switch is off and you rock the Expression pedal all the back and forward again it turns the chorus on and off.
2. when you roll off the GK volume and back again it turns the delay on and off
3. the CTL pedal is just a basic solo switch
4. the Expression switch is a regular run of the mill MOD switch for the Wha

So that is a total of 5 different controls in the same patch. This is just an exsample to show you how to get some more control options from the GR-55. take a good look at the "ACT RANGE HI" and the "ACT RANGE LO" settings if you want to create controls like thease in some of your patches.

GR-55 - Use all four GR-55 tone sources mixed via Expression Pedal position

Toby Krebs posted dozens of GR-55 patches he uses at his gig. Each patch uses Multiple Control Assignments for the Expression pedal to allow you to "pan" between rhythm and solo tones withing each patch  - this allow you to use One GR-55 patch per song and circumvent the long mute silence gap that occurs when changing GR-55 patches during a song.
