This would just be a backup solution for me. I have a board with a quad cortex and power supply, wireless tuner, everything. Just wondering what I would do if that went down or I lost the whole thing or whatever. At the moment I take a passive DI box, but I wouldn't have a tuner and I have started being lazy, using the digital transpose for three songs on the set list. It occurred to me that transposing whilst already stressed by an equipment failure, or detuning without a tuner aren't good plans.  I have looked at taking another pedal (I own a GP100) for instance but they're actually quite big and they also need a power supply. The GP5 appealed because I could put it my bag and run it off one of the many phone chargers that can be found in any space inhabited by humans in 2026. I even take one in my gig bag already. 

 

It looks to me like you can just assign a,b,c to three patches but to be fair that's not crucial, I can always scroll back. 

 

 

 

Thanks both!

Yeah, ive just edited, didnt notice you said Set list mode. I'll let you know later. Just not sure it will cycle back to the start. You could certainly use the big knob to cycle between the patches, and use the foot switch to turn on and off the transpose, so that would bring it down to only needing two patches. You can also hold the foot switch down to get to the tuner while in control mode.

I can confirm it does cycle back to A after scrolling through the list. @Jack I can try to record a quick bit of the pitch shifter so you can see after work if that'd be useful?

Thanks both for the clarification and the offer. Is it really that bad?

I would say the pitch shifter and octaver are so bad they're both unusable.
