I like to have separate control of my sythn sound and my guitar sound, so I use the GR33’s GUITAR OUT to channel 1 of the {{T1}};  and  the GR-33  MIX OUT (R MONO) to channel 2 of the {{T1}}.

For the {{T1}} presets, I use my favourite accoustic guitar preset for channel 1 and for the GR-33 in channel 2 I use DJ/Playback-Low Volume music.

Please tell us the model of {{L1}} you have and any other Bose components you are using. Examples
* {{Classic}} x 1
* {{B1}} x 2
* {{T1}} x 1
* {{Model I}} x 1
* {{Model II}} 1
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.
