G5

When I use the G5 connected to a guitar amp, high frequencies are exaggerated and the sound is painful.

Open the GLOBAL menu and check the OUTPUT parameter. If set to DIRECT, which is for line connections, a painful high-frequency sound will result. Change the setting to the one most appropriate for the type of guitar amp that you are using. For details, see page 23 of the Operation Manual.

Is it possible to output the effected sound and the original guitar sound at the same time?

Yes, it is possible. Set the XLR BALANCED OUT connector PRE/POST switch to PRE. Set this way, the main OUTPUT jacks will output the effected sound, while the XLR connector will output the original guitar sound at the same time.

Is it possible to use a foot switch to tap the tempo used for delay times and modulation rates?

This is not possible using the foot switches on the G5. If you want to tap the tempo for delay times and modulation rates while playing guitar, you will need an FS01 foot switch (sold separately).

Also, please follow the procedures below to tap the tempo with an FS01 foot switch.

1) Select "TAP TEMPO" from the [CTRL SW] setting in the TOTAL menu.
2) Set the TIME/RATE parameter of the desired effect to a note symbol(♪).
