Hi everyone,
This tutorial is designed to take the printed manual a step further and in a lot of cases, give you a “hands on” walkthrough with many of the GT8’s functions.

It should give you a thorough understanding on how to get about your GT8 and as a result, get down to creating fantastic tone. With that said, please don’t buy it thinking it’s going to automatically make your machine sound great, and short of me coming to your place and setting up your amp etc, that’s just not possible. The creation of tone will be up to you, but I will have at least, given you a better understanding of your GT8 so that you will find it easier to attain.

Same applies to the 4 Cable Method. The GT8 describes how to set up the GT8 with an amp using the 4 cable method, but obviously due to the many thousands of different amps on the market, it cannot possibly describe the process for every single amp. I don’t want people buying the DVD and then posting stuff like “I bought the DVD and my amp sound still sucks!” Like I said, I can show you how to hook things up and configure your GT8, but I can’t be your ears as well.

The DVD does NOT go into every effect in depth, although many FX are featured in the sample sounds. With so many FX and FX variations, this would be a whole other DVD, probably a boxed set! LOL

So, that’s my “disclaimer”…. The DVD is a very in depth tutorial and covers a lot of ground. Below is a “Table of Contents”. Please feel free to email me if there are any questions regarding its content and I will endeavour to field your question as quickly and as thoroughly as possible.

Enjoy,
Regards,
Tian
