The Yamaha GEP50 is a highly versatile digital effects processor designed specifically to provide guitarists with a variety of top-notch digital effects to enhance their sound. It includes 50 pre-programmed effects such as distortion, digital reverb, gated reverb, echo, flanging, phasing, pitch shift, a compressor, and a precision parametric EQ.
The distortion effects in the Yamaha GEP50 even blend with other effects like reverb and flange, offering great sound processing flexibility. You also get 50 user memory locations alongside the pre-set ones, allowing you to save and recall custom effect settings whenever you need.
It even features an INSERT loop, making it easy to add another signal processor to the Yamaha GEP50’s signal chain at the press of a button. Plus, it’s MIDI-compatible, so you can select effects remotely via MIDI control. To make the most of the Yamaha GEP50’s capabilities, we recommend reading the manual thoroughly.
