returned to their original settings, the key will go
out.
4. To change other major parameters in
the pre-amp section, operate the
respective knob (see illustration
below).
When you turn a knob, the name and the current
setting of the respective parameter appear on the
display. Operating the [BASS], [MIDDLE],
[TREBLE], or [PRESENCE] knob will boost or
cut the respective band, and the setting is reflected
in the graph on the right side of the display.

When you perform step 3 or step 4, the G9.2tt
switches to edit mode. To return to play mode,
press the [EXIT] key. (For details on edit mode, see
page 24.)
5. To adjust the overall level of the patch,
turn parameter knob 2 in play mode.
The patch level is a parameter that controls the
output level of the respective patch. The setting
range is 2 – 100. A setting of 80 results in unity
gain (no level increase or decrease).
NOTE
The changes that you have made to a patch will be
lost when you select another patch. To keep the
changes, store the patch first (→ p. 28).
Using the Accelerator
The input stage of the G9.2tt incorporates an
Accelerator function that amplifies the analog
signal before effect processing using a tube or
solid state circuit. This lets you mix characteristic
tube compression and distortion with clean solid
state sound and then send the signal to the effect
circuitry.
HINT
The Accelerator is active in all modes. Accelerator
settings are not stored as part of the patch.
To adjust the Accelerator, use the controls of the
Accelerator section on the panel. The control
functions are explained below.

● [TUBE] control
This control adjusts the input signal gain of the
tube circuit. Turning the control clockwise
increases gain and also increases distortion.
Settings higher than about three o'clock will
drastically increase the volume and distortion.
This can be used to strongly emphasize the typical
tube compression and distortion character.
● [SOLID STATE] control
This control adjusts the input signal gain of the
s o l i d s t a t e c i r c u i t . T u r n i n g t h e c o n t r o l
clockwise increases only the volume. At the
maximum position, gain is about +6 dB. This
can be used to increase the gain for the signal
before effect processing.

Accelerator, the effect intensity of the COMP
module and the distortion depth of the PRE-AMP
module also will change. When editing patches,
we recommend using the following setting
examples for the Accelerator.
● Normal Clean
This setting gives a clean tone with minimal
distortion.
● Tube Pre-amp
T h i s s e t t i n g e m p h a s i z e s t h e t u b e - l i k e
compression feeling. Raising the [TUBE]
control further will drastically increase the
volume and distortion.
● Clean - Tube Mix
This setting gives a mix of solid state clean
sound and tube distortion sound.
NOTE
When both controls are set to minimum, no signal
will be input to the G9.2tt.
Using the Energizer
The G9.2tt incorporates an Energizer function
that processes the analog output signal using a
tube circuit.
This feature is suitable for making the guitar stand
out in an ensemble setting, or for adding that
characteristic tube distortion sound.
HINT
The Energizer is active in all modes. The Energizer
settings are not stored as part of the patch.
To adjust the Energizer, use the controls of the
Energizer section on the panel. The control
functions are explained below.
● [TUBE] control
This control adds characteristic tube distortion
to the sound, making the guitar stand out more
distinctly. When the knob is turned fully
counterclockwise, the effect is off. Turning the
knob clockwise gradually increases the tube
circuit gain, resulting in warmer, more solid
crunch or drive sound.
Normally, you should set the control to a
[BOOST] control [TUBE] control
