Main Features New COSM amps

These newly remodeled COSM amps offer a distillation of all the sound creation know-how that weve built up over the years. They represent a further evolution that goes beyond conventional vintage amp modeling. From pristinely transparent clean sounds, to extreme high-gain sounds, these models allow your picking to freely control the amps dynamic behavior and its subtle nuances.

Compact size perfect for a tabletop The GT-001 is equipped with a USB audio interface function (p. 11). You can record sounds easily by connecting to a computer. You can also connect a microphone to the GT-001.

Simple operations with a computer using dedicated software You can control the GT-001, edit tones, and manage patches using dedicated software. You can also download a wide variety of patches from BOSS TONE CENTRAL, our dedicated patch download website.

Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled USING THE UNIT SAFELY and IMPORTANT NOTES (leaflet USING THE UNIT SAFELY and Owners Manual (p. 15)). These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit. Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every feature of your new unit, read the Owners Manual in its entirety. This manual should be saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference.

* The power to this unit will be turned off automatically after a predetermined amount of time has passed since it was last used for playing music, or its buttons or controls were operated (Auto Off function). If you do not want the power to be turned off automatically, disengage the Auto Off function (p. 13).

Any settings that you are in the process of editing will be lost when the power is turned off. If you have any settings that you want to keep, you should save them beforehand.

1 Getting Ready

1. Turn on the [ON/OFF] switch.

2. Switch on the power of the guitar amp.

MEMO

When connected to a computer, the AC adaptor is unnecessary because power is supplied by the computer (p. 11).

* After youve made connections correctly, be sure to turn on the power in the order of the GT-001 first, and then the connected system. Powering-on in the incorrect order may cause malfunctions or damage. When turning the power off, power-off the connected system first, and then the GT-001.

* This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after turning the unit on is required before it will operate normally.

* Before turning the unit on/off, always be sure to turn the volume down. Even with the volume turned down, you might hear some sound when switching the unit on/off. However, this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

USING THE UNIT SAFELY

WARNING To completely turn off power to the unit, pull out the plug from the outlet Even with the power switch turned off, this unit is not completely separated from its main source of power. When the power needs to be completely turned off, turn off the power switch on the unit, then pull out the plug from the outlet. For this reason, the outlet into which you choose to connect the power cords plug should be one that is within easy reach and readily accessible.

Concerning the Auto Off function The power to this unit will be turned off automatically after a predetermined amount of time has passed since it was last used for playing music, or its buttons or controls were operated (Auto Off function). If you do not want the power to be turned off automatically, disengage the Auto Off function (p. 13).

WARNING Use only the supplied AC adaptor and the correct voltage Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the installation matches the input voltage specified on the AC adaptors body. Other AC adaptors may use a different polarity, or be designed for a different voltage, so their use could result in damage, malfunction, or electric shock.

CAUTION Precautions concerning use of phantom power supply Always turn the phantom power off when connecting any device other than condenser microphones that require phantom power. You risk causing damage if you mistakenly supply phantom power to dynamic microphones, audio playback devices, or other devices that dont require such power. Be sure to check the specifications of any microphone you intend to use by referring to the manual that came with it. (This instruments phantom power: 48 V DC, 10 mA Max)

IMPORTANT NOTES Placement Depending on the material and

temperature of the surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface. You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.

Maintenance For everyday cleaning wipe the unit

with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non- abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

Repairs and Data Before sending the unit away for

repairs, be sure to make a backup of the data stored within it; or you may prefer to write down the needed information. Although we will do our utmost to preserve the data stored in your unit when we carry out repairs, in some cases, such as when the memory section is physically damaged, restoration of the stored content may be impossible. Roland assumes no liability concerning the restoration of any stored content that has been lost.

Additional Precautions Any data stored within the unit can be

lost as the result of equipment failure, incorrect operation, etc. To protect yourself against the irretrievable loss of data, try to make a habit of creating regular backups of the data youve stored in the unit.

Roland assumes no liability concerning the restoration of any stored content that has been lost.

Eigenschaften Neue COSM-Verstrker

Das GT-001 besitzt neu gestaltete COSM Amp-Modelle auf Grundlage der ber Jahre gesammelten Erfahrungen mit vorherigen Gerten. Die neuen COSM-Verstrker gehen weit ber das herkmmliche Modeling von Vintage-Verstrkern hinaus und ermglichen ein sehr dynamisches Spielen der verschiedenen Verstrkertypen inkl. deren unterschiedlichen Klangnuancen.

Kompaktes Desktop Design Das GT-001 besitzt eine USB Audio Interface-Funktion (S. 11) und ermglicht dadurch Aufnahmen mit einem Rechner. Sie knnen an das GT-001 auch ein Mikrofon anschlieen.

Einfache Bedienung ber eine auf einem Rechner installierte Software Sie knnen ber eine spezielle Software das GT-001 ber einen Rechner steuern, Tones editieren und Patches verwalten. Von der Internetseite BOSS TONE CENTRAL knnen Sie alternative Patches herunter laden.

Lesen Sie zunchst die Abschnitte SICHERHEITSHINWEISE und WICHTIGE HINWEISE (separates Beiblatt USING THE UNIT SAFELY und Bedienungs- anleitung S. 15). Diese geben Ihnen Auskunft ber den sicheren Betrieb des Gertes. Lesen Sie dann diese Anleitung ganz durch, um sich einen vollstndigen berblick ber alle Funktionen zu verschaffen. Bewahren Sie die Anleitung auf und verwenden Sie diese als Referenz.

* Das Gert wird nach einer voreingestellten Zeit automatisch ausgeschaltet, wenn es in der Zwischenzeit nicht bedient wurde bzw. kein Audiosignal erkannt bzw. erzeugt hat. Wenn Sie die automatische Abschaltung verhindern mchten, de-aktivieren Sie die Auto Off-Funktion (S. 13).

Bei Ausschalten des Gertes werden die bis dahin nicht gespeicherten nderungen gelscht. Sichern Sie daher Ihre Daten regelmig.

Wenn das Gert automatisch ausgeschaltet wurde, mssen Sie dieses manuell wieder einschalten (S. 2).

1 Vorbereitungen

1. Drcken Sie den [ON/OFF]-Schalter.

2. Schalten Sie den Verstrker ein.

HINWEIS

Wenn das Gert an einem Rechner angeschlossen ist, ist der AC-Adapter nicht notwendig, da die Stromversorgung ber den Rechner erfolgt (S. 11).

* Schalten Sie immer zuerst das GT-001 und danach den Verstrker ein, ansonsten knnen Fehlfunktionen oder sogar Beschdigungen auftreten. Gehen Sie beim Auschalten umgekehrt vor: zuerst den Verstrker ausschalten und danach das GT-001.

* Dieses Gert ist mit einem Schutzschaltkreis ausgestattet, der nach Einschalten berbrckt wird, daher dauert es ein paar Sekunden, bis das Gert betriebsbereit ist.

* Regeln Sie vor Ein- bzw. Ausschalten die Lautstrke auf Minimum. Auch bei minimaler Lautstrke ist beim Ein- bzw. Ausschalten noch ein leises Gerusch hrbar, dieses ist aber normal und keine Fehlfunktion.

Verwenden Sie den [OUTPUT LEVEL]-Regler. * Die Lautstrke des an der AUX IN-Buchse

angeschlossenen Gertes muss am externen Gert eingestellt werden.

Wichtige Hinweise

* Um eventuellen Fehlfunktionen oder Beschdigungen vorzubeugen, regeln Sie die Lautstrke auf Minimum und lassen Sie die Gerte ausgeschaltet, wenn Sie neue Kabelverbindungen vornehmen.

* Verwenden Sie fr den AUX IN-Anschluss nur Audiokabel ohne integrierten Widerstand, ansonsten wird die Lautstrke des angeschlossenen Gertes reduziert.

* Fhren Sie das Kabel des AC-Adapters durch die Aussparung an der Unterseite des GT-001, damit bei einer eventuellen Zugbelastung das Kabel nicht abgezogen und die Stromversorgung unterbrochen wird.
