Line 38:

Since the {{L1}} is so transparent, care must be taken with gain staging process your choice of patch for gain staging is important. Pick a patch where both tones attack is zero so that the highest volume is at the beginning of the note. Sounds so logical doesn’t it…… but I have been caught out in performances with pad type patches that swell and develop and overwhelm the song.

Using the compressor on the {{T1}}may help.

With the gain staging set right, the sound of the you will be in sonic heaven and the capabilities of the GR-33 and the {{L1}} will amaze. But beware ….if you are performance wise with the GR-33 on other amps and PA’s do not assume the patches will behave for you on the L1 as for other systems. Test every GR-33 patch with the {{L1}} before you hit the stage or you may end up with nasty surprise.

For eg: GR-33 patch C84 – Phaser Str2 contains a phaser sweep tone that reaches deep bass tones that may not have been audible on other systems that don’t have the range of the {{B1}}.
