Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Yamaha GW10

Guitar Performance Effector. The GW10 is a portable and conven-

ient multi-effect device for guitar (as well as other instruments).

The high-quality effect sound and the flexible pedal control over

certain parameters make the GW10 ideal for signal processing in

home recording, studio, and live performance applications.

Some of the advanced features of the GW10 include:

• Three basic effect blocks, featuring Distortion, Chorus and Delay.

• Additional effect types within each block, such as Compressor,

Overdrive, Crunch, Wah, Amp Simulator, Equalizer and Pitch Shifter

— plus a built-in Noise Gate.

• High-quality sound in all effects, plus added benefit of having all

effects integrated into one unit.

• Convenient parameter control over all effects, yet exceptional ease-

of-use — you can adjust the parameters of the effect blocks much as

you would on conventional pedal effects.

• Built-in Foot Controller, which not only allows for easy volume

adjustment, but gives you realtime control over one of various effect

parameters. It also features a switch (past the maximum point) for

instantly turning selected effects on and off.

• User memory for storing up to 20 effect programs, selectable with

the Pedal Switch.

• Built-in tuner, allowing you to tune your instrument without remov-

ing it from the signal chain.

You are probably eager to try out your new GW10 right away and hear what it

can do, rather than have to read through a lot of instructions before you can

even get a sound out of it.

Before you do anything else, however, you should read the PRECAUTIONS

section (page 2). This tells you briefly how to care for your new GW10, how to

avoid damaging it, and how to ensure long-term, reliable operation.

Next, read the SYSTEM OVERVIEW (page 8). This provides an important

introduction to the internal organization of the GW10, enabling you to better

understand its various functions and use the device to its full potential.

To actually start using the GW10, read the GUIDED TOUR (page 12). It

guides you step-by-step in setting up your GW10, connecting it properly, and

(most importantly!) getting sound out of it. The section also introduces you to

the effect programs by letting you hear what they are capable of, and explains

how to use some of the other main functions of the device.

The REFERENCE section (page 24), on the other hand, is a comprehensive

guide to all functions. You won’t need (or want) to read through all of it at

once, but it is there for you to refer to when you need information about a

certain feature or function.

The PANEL CONTROLS AND TERMINALS (page 4) is also mainly for

reference. In general, look through this section to familiarize yourself with the

controls, and refer to it when necessary.

The INDEX in the APPENDICES section (page 50) is also very helpful. It lists

page numbers for virtually every function, feature, control and terminal found on

the GW10, and lets you find the information you need quickly and easily.

Other parts of the APPENDICES section provide additional useful information:

lists of the effect programs of the GW10, tips on troubleshooting (when some-

thing doesn’t work as expected), and other important information.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL (READ THIS FIRST!!)

PRECAUTIONS

■ USE THE CORRECT POWER SUPPLY

Power to the GW10 should be supplied only from the appropriate Yamaha

AC adaptor (the PA-3 or another adaptor specifically recommended by

Yamaha). Use of another adaptor may cause serious damage to the unit.

Also make sure that the adaptor you have is appropriate for the AC mains

supply voltage in the area where you intend to use the GW10. (The correct

input voltage is marked on the adaptor.)

■ MEMORY BACKUP

The GW10 contains a special long-life lithium battery that retains the

contents of the internal RAM memory even when the power is turned off.

The battery should last for approximately five years from the date of

manufacture. When the backup battery power becomes too low to maintain

the memory contents, the MEMORY/TUNER Indicator lights “L” then “o”

three times when the power is turned on.

When this happens, write down all necessary settings to a piece of paper

(or on copies of the chart provided on page 48), then have the battery

replaced by qualified Yamaha service personnel as soon as possible. DO

NOT ATTEMPT TO REPLACE THE BACKUP BATTERY YOURSELF!

(Keeping records of your original settings is necessary since the memory

contents cannot be preserved when the battery is changed.)

■ AVOID EXCESSIVE HEAT, HUMIDITY, DUST AND VIBRA-

TION

Keep the unit away from locations where it is likely to be exposed to high

temperatures (such as direct sunlight) or humidity. Also avoid locations

which are subject to excessive dust accumulation or vibration which could

cause mechanical damage.

■ AVOID PHYSICAL SHOCKS

Although the GW10 has been constructed to withstand the normal rigors of

stage and studio use for optimum sturdiness and reliability, avoid subject-

ing it to strong physical shocks (such as dropping or hitting it), since this

may damage the unit. Since the GW10 is a precision-made electronic

device, also avoid applying excessive force to the various controls.

■ DO NOT OPEN THE CASE OR ATTEMPT REPAIRS OR

MODIFICATIONS YOURSELF

This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer all maintenance to

qualified Yamaha service personnel. Opening the case and/or tampering in

any way with the internal circuitry will void the warranty.

■ MAKE SURE POWER IS OFF BEFORE MAKING OR REMOV-

ING CONNECTIONS

Always turn the power off prior to connecting or disconnecting cables.

■ HANDLE ALL CONNECTIONS CAREFULLY

Always be careful to connect and disconnect all cables and cords by

gripping the connector itself, not by pulling on the cord.

■ CLEAN WITH A SOFT, DRY CLOTH

Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean the unit, since these

will damage the finish. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary,

use a soft, clean cloth slightly moistened only with water — making sure

to wipe the case off again with a dry cloth.

■ FOOT CONTROLLER

Do not put your fingers underneath or inside the Foot Controller pedal,

since some of the parts there have a lubricant or grease applied to them.

Doing so may not only get your hands dirty, but also remove some of the

grease necessary for smooth pedal operation.

■ ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE

Since the GW10 contains digital circuitry, it may cause interference and

noise if placed too close to TV sets, radios or similar equipment. If such a

problem occurs, move the GW10 further away from the affected equip-

ment.

PANEL CONTROLS AND TERMINALS

This section shows and explains all of the controls and terminals of the GW10.

Since the explanations below are fairly brief, you should turn to the page

references given for more information on individual buttons and features. Refer

to this section also as necessary when using the GW10, when you need specific

information on a certain control or terminal.

e BANK LEDs / Sharp (¶) LED

Bank LEDs

The two LEDs (green and red) indicate which of the four banks of

programs is selected. (See page 10.)

Sharp LED

The top LED also serves as a sharp indicator during Tuner operation

(functioning along with the note name shown in the MEMORY/

TUNER indicator), lighting in the case of an accidental. (See page

10.)

r ON OFF GROUP / TUNER Indicators

These LEDs serve two purposes:

• As ON OFF GROUP indicators, they correspond to the Effect Block

buttons directly below them and light to indicate which effect blocks

can be turned on and off with the Foot Controller. (See pages 19,

35.)

• As TUNER indicators (during Tuner operation), they show whether

the input signal is in tune or not; when all three indicators light

simultaneously, the signal is in tune. (See page 41.)

t WRITE, COPY, SWAP LEDs

These LEDs serve two purposes:

• As WRITE/COPY/SWAP indicators, they flash when the respective

Write, Copy, or Swap operation is active. (See pages 37–39.)

• In normal operation, these are effect block indicators, and correspond

to the Effect Block buttons directly below them and light to indicate

which effect blocks are on. (See page 18.)

y Effect Block / Group Set / Utility Buttons

These buttons serve three purposes:

• In normal operation, they correspond to the three effect blocks

(Distortion, Chorus, and Delay) and are used to turn those effect

blocks on and off. (See pages 18, 24.)

• Also, in normal operation, they are used to set the on/off group for

the effect blocks (which effect blocks will be turned on/off by press-

ing the Foot Controller). (See page 25.)

• In Write, Copy, and Swap operations, they are used to select the

respective utility operation. (See pages 37–39.)

When the Foot Controller is used as a volume pedal, one of these lights to

indicate the position of the volume pedal in the effect chain. (See page 33.)

i Effect Type Indicators

These light to indicate the selected effect type in the effect block (or the

selected parameter category in the Foot Controller block, indicated by the

Foot Controller symbol). Only one of these in each block can be selected

at a time. (See pages 21, 25, 26.) When one of these indicators flashes,

the respective parameters can be edited. (See pages 20, 26.)

o Parameter Dials

For adjusting the three parameters of a selected effect. The parameters in a

single column correspond to the dial in that column.

!0 BLOCK / WRITE NO Button

This button serves several purposes:

• In normal operation, this is used to select effect blocks for editing.

(See pages 20, 25, 26.)

• When this is held down for a couple of seconds (until all LEDs go

out), it calls up the Tuner operation. Pressing it during the Tuner

operation returns to normal operation. (See page 41.)

• When this is held down and the T button is pressed, it calls up

the Write, Copy, and Swap operations. (See pages 37–39.)

• During Write, Copy, and Swap operations, this is used to cancel the

respective operation. (See pages 37–39.)

!1 TYPE / WRITE YES Button

This button serves several purposes:

• In normal operation, this is used to select effect types for editing.

(See pages 21, 25, 26.)

• Also, in normal operation (when no LEDs are flashing), this is used to

advance through the effect program numbers. (See pages 10, 11, 24.)

• In Tuner operation, this is used to adjust the tuning standard for the

note A above middle C (from 440 to 445). (See page 41.)

• When this is pressed while the B button is held down, it calls

up the Write, Copy, and Swap operations. (See pages 37–39.)

• During Write, Copy, and Swap operations, this is used to execute the

respective operation. (See pages 37–39.)

!2 MEMORY/BANK Pedal Switch

• In normal operation and in Write, Copy, and Swap operations,

pressing this steps through the effect program numbers. Holding the

switch down advances through the bank numbers. (See pages 10, 24.)

• During Tuner operation, pressing this returns to normal operation.

(See page 41.)

!3 Foot Controller

For continuous control over volume or a selected effect parameter. When

pressed firmly beyond the maximum, this turns selected effect blocks on or

off. (See pages 19, 25.) Pressing this firmly beyond the maximum and

holding it down for a couple of seconds (until all LEDs go out) calls up the

Tuner operation. (See page 41.)

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

This section provides a brief overview of the GW10 — the basic structure of its

various functions and the memory system. Once you gain a general understand-

ing of the internal workings of the GW10 as given here, you’ll have the tools for

taking full advantage of its features.

When Wah is selected in the Chorus block and the OD/DST is active, the order of the effects

changes as shown here:

Keep in mind as you use the GW10 that the structure of its effects is basically in

a four-part hierarchy: 1) Effect programs, 2) Effect blocks, 3) Effect types, and

4) Effect parameters.

An effect program is made up of three effect blocks and a Foot Controller

block, all of which can be used simultaneously. A block includes one or more

effect types, one of which can be used at a time. And each effect type (except

Noise Gate) is made up of three parameters, which allow you to set the sound

of the effect. The logic of this structure is reflected in the panel layout, with

effect blocks, types and parameters printed in a matrix from left to right.

Guided Tour

Once you’ve taken your GW10 out of the box and are ready to use it, you’ll

have to make a few connections and follow some simple instructions on setting

it up.

First, make sure that the power switch on the GW10 is off before making

ANY connections.

Plug the DC output cable from the power adaptor into the DC IN terminal

on the rear panel, then plug the adaptor into a convenient AC outlet.

SETTING UP AND PLAYING YOUR GW10

The cable clip located next to this terminal helps to prevent accidental

unplugging of the power supply during use. Wrap the adaptor cord firmly

around the clip (see the Rear Panel illustration, page 7).

CAUTION! ■

Do not attempt to use a different AC adaptor with the GW10.

Also, be sure to check whether the rated voltage is appropriate. (See the

precaution “USE THE CORRECT POWER SUPPLY” on page 2.)

■

Plug your instrument into the INPUT jack on the rear panel.

For the sake of these instructions, we’ll assume you’re using an electric

guitar; however, most any electronic instrument can be used.

NOTE ■

You should be careful if you are connecting a synthesizer or

electronic keyboard; generally their output level is much higher than that of

a guitar and the input level, as well as the volume control on the keyboard,

should be turned down accordingly (see step #4 below).

■

Connect the GW10 output or outputs to your amplifier/speaker system.

Before you do this, however, make sure that the power on the system is

first turned off and all volume controls are set to zero — this includes the

guitar controls, the INPUT LEVEL and the Foot Controller on the GW10

itself, and the volume on the connected amp (or mixing console).

NOTE ■

To set the INPUT LEVEL on the GW10 to the minimum, turn the

control all the way counterclockwise.

■

Two example connection systems are shown below. Use the one which

most closely resembles your own system.

EX.1

Here, the left and right outputs of the GW10 are sent to two

separate guitar amps.

If you are using a single guitar amp, connect it to the L/MONO OUTPUT

jack.

EX. 2

EX.2

In this system for studio recording applications, the left and right

channels of the instrument/effect sound go into separate mixer

channels. For best results with this setup, use the Amp Simulator

effect in the Chorus block (see page 30).

Turn on the power of all the equipment, starting with the GW10, and

turning on the connected amplifier last.

Guided Tour

While playing your guitar, bring up the level on your guitar and adjust the

INPUT LEVEL control on the rear panel of the GW10. Increase the level

slowly as you play the guitar while looking at the INPUT PEAK LED on

the panel. When you play your guitar the loudest, the indicator should

light intermittently.

Next, slowly bring the volume up with the Foot Controller on the GW10.

Now that you’ve properly set the level on the GW10, slowly bring up the

other volume controls to suitable levels — starting with the amp.

If you’ve followed all these instructions carefully, you should now be able

to hear your guitar sound processed by the effects of the GW10.

Guided Tour

THE EFFECTS OF THE GW10

The GW10 is equipped with a comprehensive set of effects designed specifically

for the guitar player. You can switch these effects on and off as needed and

adjust them quickly and easily from the panel controls.

There are three groups or “blocks” of effects — Distortion, Chorus and Delay —

plus a special Foot Controller block that includes a Noise Gate effect and the

Foot Controller settings. The Distortion block includes Crunch, Overdrive and

Compressor effects, while the Chorus block also features Pitch Shift, Wah,

Equalizer, and Amp Simulator effects.

(Refer to the EFFECTS AND PARAMETERS section, page 27, for more

detailed descriptions and explanations of these effects.)

With these three effect blocks, used individually or simultaneously, the GW10

has all you need to augment your sound, whatever the application. Plus, flexible

effect bypass (on/off) functions give you even more realtime control over the

sound.

Guided Tour

PLAYING WITH THE PRESET EFFECTS

Now that you’ve set up your GW10 and are ready to use it, let’s try playing

with some of the preset effects. (If you haven’t already done so, read through

the SYSTEM OVERVIEW section on pages 8–11 for information on the basic

structure of the GW10 and how to select effect programs.)

First, try playing with a bright chorus effect. Use the M Pedal

Switch to select bank 3, program number 5. (Hold down the Pedal Switch

to select the desired bank, and press it repeatedly to advance to the proper

program number; see pages 10–11.)

NOTE ■

For this and the other examples that follow, make sure that the

Foot Controller is at or near the maximum position, to ensure proper

volume.

■

Now, try a heavy distortion sound. Use the M Pedal Switch

again, this time selecting bank 2, program number 1.

Next, let’s call up an interesting delay effect. Use the M

Pedal Switch to select bank 1, program number 3.

Before going on to the next section, try exploring some of the other effect

programs of the GW10. Look through the Preset Effect Program list on

page 44 for more information about the programs, and play with a few of

them to hear how they sound.
