Setup 1. Connecting to FRFR devices Connect to FRFR (full range, flat response) speaker cabinet, for example, studio monitor, audio interface, stage monitor, PA system or headphones. It is recommended to turn on the AMP and CAB SIM blocks with FRFR devices.
2. Connecting to powered speakers + amplifier It is recommended to turn on the AMP section when using a guitar speaker cabinet and/or amplifier.
3. Connecting to a FRFR speaker + amplifier Recommended settings procedure: ● Press SYSTEM button to enter system settings. ● Select CAB SIM THRU setting. ● When connecting to FRFR speaker, set CAB SIM on. When connecting to an amplifier, set CAB SIM to THRU.
4. 4-Cable Method connection GE250's FX Loop supports connecting to an amplifier via the 4-cable method. In this setup, the GE250 can play the role of stompboxes in front of the preamp section and effects added after the preamp section. For example, wah, compressor, pre-EQ, pitch shift, and drive might be the pre-stompbox effects while modulation, delay, and reverb are the post-stompbox effects. Here is the setup procedure: ● Turn on the FX LOOP module.
5. Connecting to the INPUT of an amplifier GE250 plays the role of pre-stompboxes in this setup. It is recommended to turn off the AMP and CAB modules.
6. Connecting to the FX LOOP of an amplifier GE250 plays the role of post-stompbox in this setup. It is recommended to turn off the AMP and CAB modules.
Play 1. Set up the connections depending on your requirements. 2. Rotate the MASTER volume knobs to the minimum value. 3. Plug in the power supply and switch on the GE250. 4. After the GE250 boots up successfully, adjust the MASTER volume level as you desire. Preset Editing The GE250 has 10 effects blocks. The order of effects chain, effect type, effect values, effects block on/off, expression pedal, and CTRL footswitch settings can all be saved into preset patches for easy access and sharing.
1. Turn effects blocks on/off On: When the module is off, press the relevant effects block to turn it on. Off: When the module is on, press the relevant effect block to enter the effect module. Press twice to turn it off. The LED light indicates if an effects block is on/off. 2. Detailed Value editing ● Press desired effects block to enter editing menu. ● Use the VALUE knob to select and make a decision. 3. Effects Chain order GE250 supports adjusting effects chain.

Users can then edit and save to their desired effects chain order. 2. When the SYSTEM-CAB SIM THRU setting are set to two different settings, the CAB module will be placed at the end of the effects chain. 4. Saving ● Press SAVE to enter save menu.
TONE CAPTURE Tone Capture is an intelligent learning and comparison engine that can be used to create your very own digital models by sampling real-life equipment. With the TONE CAPTURE feature in the GE250, you can capture the tone of any amp. Before using the TONE CAPTURE feature, please ensure the target amp has a built-in serial FX LOOP. 1. Connect your amp to the GE250 via 4-cable method. 2. Press SYSTEM to enter system settings. 3. Navigate to TONE CAPTURE. 4. Select monitor mode.
6. Use the VALUE knob to select an amp model. Adjust the GAIN and MST value until the GAIN and MST is close to that of the target amp. Press▼footswitch to enter continue. 7. From the TONE CAPTURE sampling page, you can press footswitch A to monitor the target amp or press footswitch B to monitor the GE250's source amp model. Again, ensure the GAIN and MST of the source is roughly the same as that of the target. 8. Press footswitch C to start capturing.
