AUX IN jack
Use a stereo mini-plug cable
to connect your audio player
here.
* To adjust the input level of the
AUX IN jack, adjust the volume
of the connected device (audio
player, etc.).
PHONES jack
Connect a set of headphones (sold
separately) here.
* When you connect a stereo-mini plug
to this jack, the internal guitar amp
simulator will be automatically on so
that you can also enjoy the powerful
guitar sound with your

the sound from OUTPUT
jacks will have the same
eect.
* To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always turn down the volume, and turn o all the units before making any connections.
DC IN jack
Connect the included AC
adaptor here.
* Use only the included

Turning the Power On/O
This turns the power on/o.
* After you’ve made connections correctly, be sure to turn on
the power in the order of the GP-10 rst, and then the
connected system. Powering-on in the incorrect order may
cause malfunctions or damage. When turning the power o,
power-o the connected system rst, and then the GP-10.
* 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/o, always be sure to turn the
volume down. Even with the volume turned down, you might
hear some sound when switching the unit on/o. However, this
is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
Auto O function
The power to this unit will be turned o 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
O function).
If you do not want the power to be turned o automatically,
disengage the Auto O function (p. 14).
* Any settings that you are in the process of editing will be lost
when the power is turned o. If you have any settings that you
want to keep, you should save them beforehand.
* To restore power, turn the power on again.
If you connect an expression pedal (sold separately: Roland EV-5, FL-500H/L) or footswitch (sold separately: FS-5U, FS-6) to the EXP 2/CTL 3,4 jack, you can use a pedal to
control the volume or to turn eects on/o.
For details on the settings, refer to “Pedal and Switch Settings for Each Patch (Ctl: )” (p. 11), “System Settings for the Pedals and Switches (SysCtl: )” (p. 13).
