Understanding this manual  
We use the following conventions in this manual:  
• The GA-100CD has keys that function differently  
depending on whether they are pressed briefly (less  
than half a second) or pressed and held (more than  
half a second). In this manual, instructions to “press  
the key” or, for example, “press VSA” refer to brief  
presses, while instructions to “press and hold the  
key” or, for example, “press and hold OSC” refer to  
long presses.  
• The CD Trainer Control LCD usually shows the  
elapsed track time, remaining track time or total  
remaining CD time. In this manual, this status is  
referred to as the “time display.”  
• The names of keys and controls are given in the  
following typeface: REVERB.  
• Messages shown in the alphanumeric portion of the  
LCD are given in the following typeface: TMOD.  
• If a preset indicator in the display (i.e. one that  
cannot change, but is either on or off) is shown, this  
is given as follows: TEMPO.  
• Selectable values (i.e. values of dB) and ON and OFF  
selections are shown in the following typeface: CHR.  
(i.e. VBR>ON)

1 - Introduction  
Handling of compact discs  
The GA-100CD has been designed for the playback  
of CD-DA (standard audio) format discs. In addition  
to ordinary 5-inch and 3-inch CDs, it can also play  
properly recorded CD-R and CD-RW discs.  
• Keep discs away from direct sunlight, and places of  
high heat and humidity. If left in such places, warp-  
ing could result.  
• Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of  
the disc. Do not write on the disc with ballpoint pens.  
• Always place CDs in the tray with their labeled sides  
facing upward.  
• Do not use cracked discs.  
• To remove a disc from its case, press down on the  
center of the disc holder, then lift the disc out, hold-  
ing it carefully by the edges.  
• Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-  
circular promotional discs, etc.  
• The GA-100CD cannot play CD-R/RW discs that are  
not finalized.  
• Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (the  
non-label side). Grime and dust may cause skipping,  
so keep discs clean and store them in their cases  
when not being played. To clean the signal side of a  
disc, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth from the cen-  
ter towards the outside edge.  
• Several record companies have released music discs  
that use Copy Control and other copy-protection  
systems in an effort to prevent piracy. Since some  
of these discs do not comply with the CD specifica-  
tions, the GA-100CD may not be able to play them.  
• After opening the CD player cover, if the CD is still  
spinning, wait until it has stopped before removing it.  
CAUTION  
• Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions,  
benzene, paint thinner or other chemical agents to  
clean CDs as they could damage the delicate playing  
surface. This may cause CDs to become unplayable.  
Using commercially available CD stabilizers or  
printable recordable discs with this player will  
damage the mechanism and cause it to malfunction.  
Never use a disc that has had a stabilizer mounted to  
it. The residual adhesive may cause the disc to stick  
to the turntable of the GA-100CD. If it sticks to the  
turntable, you will need a technician to get it out.  
• Discs should be returned to their cases after use to  
avoid serious scratches that could cause the laser  
pickup to “skip.”  
Beware of condensation  
If the unit (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a  
warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change,  
there is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could  
condense on the internal mechanism, making correct  
operation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs,  
let the player sit for one or two hours at the new room  
temperature before using.  
Precautions for placement and use  
Do not place the unit in the following types of places.  
Placement in such locations may cause malfunction or  
reduce sound quality.  
Adjust the distance and angle between the devices if  
this occurs.  
Operation of the GA-100CD near a television or radio  
may cause color distortion on the television screen  
or noise in the radio signal. If this occurs, move the  
GA-100CD farther away.  
Unstable places or places with frequent vibrations  
Near windows or in direct sunlight  
Near heating devices or other extremely hot places  
Extremely cold places  
Use of mobile phones and other wireless devices near  
the GA-100CD may cause the amp to produce noise  
during use or when calls are made or received. If this  
occurs, turn off the device or move it away from the  
GA-100CD.  
Damp or poorly ventilated places  
Placing this amp near another power amplifier or  
another device with a large transformer can cause hum.

change effect banks or turn the tuner ON and OFF.  
External effects connection  
To apply an external effect to the guitar signal after it  
has passed through the GA-100CD preamp, connect the  
external effect’s input to the EFFECT SEND jack and  
its output to the EFFECT RETURN jack.  
Headphones connection  
Connect stereo headphones to the PHONES jack  
to monitor through headphones. Connection to the  
PHONES jack mutes the GA-100CD speakers.  
External sound source connection  
NOTE  
Connect an external synthesizer, audio equipment  
or other device to the LINE IN jack to input external  
sounds. The input signal is sent to the sub-speakers.  
Use the volume control of the equipment connected  
to the LINE IN jack to adjust its relative volume.  
CAUTION  
Be careful when attaching external sound sources, as  
very loud signals, especially at low frequencies, may  
damage the GA-100CD's speakers.

Guitar amp gain, equalization and output  
Choosing the channel  
The GA-100CD has independent clean and overdrive  
channels. Use the CLEAN/OVERDRIVE key to choose  
the channel.  
You can also change the channel using a TASCAM  
RC-30P or similar footswitch connected to the GUITAR  
CHANNEL footswitch jack on the rear panel.  
When the green light is ON, the CLEAN section is  
active and when the red light is ON the OVERDRIVE  
section is active .  
Adjusting the volume and tone quality  
The clean and overdrive channels have the same types  
of control knobs.  
Choose the clean channel and set the GAIN knob low  
for an undistorted sound.  
Adjust the overall volume with the VOLUME knob and  
the MAIN MASTER VOLUME knob. Adjusting these  
knobs will not affect the tone quality.  
Adjust the volume of each channel with its GAIN and  
VOLUME knobs. Use the MAIN MASTER VOLUME  
knob to control the final volume output of the guitar  
amp main speaker.  
Adjust the BASS, MIDDLE and TREBLE knobs to alter  
the tone quality (frequency characteristics) further.  
The GAIN knob adjusts input gain, and the VOLUME  
knob adjusts the channel output level. Raise the gain to  
increase distortion. Even a small amount of gain creates  
distortion in the overdrive channel. Distortion does not  
become audible in the clean channel until the gain is  
raised significantly. With a single coil pickup guitar, for  
example, distortion starts around 4.  
NOTE  
The MAIN MASTER VOLUME knob adjusts the  
overall volume of the output signal sent to the  
main speaker (12-inch). If an effect is used, it will be  
output along with the guitar amp output.  
Choose the overdrive channel to use distortion, and  
adjust the GAIN knob until you achieve the amount that  
you desire.

5 – Using effects  
Effects  
The GA-100CD has built-in effects and reverb. In both  
CLEAN and OVERDRIVE channels, the guitar signal  
passes through the preamp before being processed by  
the effect and then the reverb in that order.  
External effects can also be connected to the EFFECT  
SEND and EFFECT RETURN jacks on the rear panel.  
Selecting Effects and setting parameters  
Use the effect selection (§, ) keys to the left of the  
effect parameter table to choose an effect – delay,  
panning delay, flanger, phaser, chorus, tremolo,  
auto-wah, pitch shifter – or turn the effects OFF.  
The effect indicators to the right of these keys show the  
current setting. Use the three knobs above the effect  
parameter table to adjust the parameter amounts. Refer  
to the chart below for details.  
Restoring the factory effect presets  
The unit leaves the factory with the following preset  
settings. (See the “Tone Creation Reference” on page 24  
for details.)  
To restore the effects to their factory settings, use the  
FXRSitem in the Setup menu. (See “Initializing effect  
presets” on page 21 for details.)

Effect banks  
The GA-100CD has 10 banks to store effects and reverb  
settings. C1–C5 are for clean channel settings and D1–  
D5 are for overdrive channel settings.  
Bank settings are stored in built-in memory each time  
a parameter is adjusted or the bank is changed. (See the  
Tone Creation Reference on page 24 for details about  
the factory presets.)  
Changing banks  
Switching between the GA-100CD clean and overdrive  
channels recalls the bank that was previously used on  
the selected channel.  
Use the bank selection keys (§, ) or a footswitch to  
change banks on the same channel.  
NOTE  
When a bank is recalled, the indicator will show  
the selected bank, but the position of the effect  
knobs (1, 2 and 3 and REVERB level) will not change,  
therefore they will not match the bank settings.  
Move any knob to change the associated parameter  
value to the knob’s current position.  
For example, after using clean channel bank C3, you  
switch to overdrive channel bank D4. Later, when  
you switch back to the clean channel, bank C3 will be  
recalled automatically. The BANK display shows the  
current bank number.  
Changing banks with a footswitch  
1 Connect a footswitch to the CD/EFFECT jack.  
With a dual footswitch, one pedal will increase the  
bank number setting and the other will decrease it.  
2 Set the polarity using the FOOTitem in the Setup  
menu to BANK+or BANKas necessary.  
3 Press the footswitch to increase or decrease  
the bank number setting by 1. (See “Changing  
settings” on page 21.)
