You are probably eager to try out your new GW33 right
away and hear what it can do, rather than have to read
through a lot of instructions before you can even get a
sound out of it.
Before you do anything else, however, you should read the
PRECAUTIONS
section (page 3). This tells you briefly
how to care for your new GW33, how to avoid damaging
it, and how to ensure long-term, reliable operation.
Next, read the
GW33 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
(page 7).
This provides an important introduction to the internal
organization of the GW33, enabling you to better under-
stand its various functions and use the device to its full
potential.
To actually start using the GW33, read the
GUIDED
TOUR
(page 10). It guides you step-by-step in setting up
your GW33, connecting it properly, and (most impor-
tantly!) getting sound out of it. The section also intro-
duces you to the effect programs by letting you hear what
they are capable of, and explains how to use some of the
other main functions of the device.
The
REFERENCE
section (page 16), on the other hand,
is a comprehensive guide to all functions. You won’t need
(or want) to read through all of it at once, but it is there for
you to refer to when you need information about a certain
feature or function.
The
PANEL CONTROLS AND TERMINALS
(page 4)
is also mainly for reference. In general, look through this
section to familiarize yourself with the controls, and refer
to it when necessary.
The
INDEX
in the
APPENDIX
section (page 40) is also
very helpful. It lists page numbers for virtually every
function, feature, control and terminal found on the
GW33, and lets you find the information you need quickly
and easily.
Other parts of the
APPENDIX
section (page 36) provide
additional useful information: lists of the effect programs
of the GW33, tips on troubleshooting (when something
doesn’t work as expected), and other important informa-
tion.

USE THE CORRECT POWER SUPPLY
Power to the GW33 should be supplied only from the
appropriate Yamaha AC adaptor (the PA-3, or another
adaptor recommended by Yamaha). Use of another
adaptor may cause serious damage to the unit. (Never use
the PA-3B.) Also make sure that the adaptor you have is
appropriate for the AC mains supply voltage in the area
where you intend to use the GW33. (The correct input
voltage is marked on the adaptor.)
AVOID EXCESSIVE HEAT, HUMIDITY, DUST
AND VIBRATION
Keep the unit away from locations where it is likely to be
exposed to high temperatures (such as direct sunlight) or
humidity. Also avoid locations which are subject to
excessive dust accumulation or vibration which could
cause mechanical damage.
AVOID PHYSICAL SHOCKS
Although the GW33 has been constructed to withstand the
normal rigors of stage and studio use for optimum sturdi-
ness and reliability, avoid subjecting it to strong physical
shocks (such as dropping or hitting it), since this may
damage the unit. Since the GW33 is a precision-made
electronic device, also avoid applying excessive force to
the various controls.
DO NOT OPEN THE CASE OR ATTEMPT
REPAIRS OR MODIFICATIONS YOURSELF
This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer all
maintenance to qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Opening the case and/or tampering in any way with the
internal circuitry will void the warranty.
MAKE SURE POWER IS OFF BEFORE MAK-
ING OR REMOVING CONNECTIONS
Always turn the power off prior to connecting or discon-
necting cables.
HANDLE ALL CONNECTIONS CAREFULLY
Always be careful to connect and disconnect all cables and
cords by gripping the connector itself, not by pulling on
the cord.
CLEAN WITH A SOFT, DRY CLOTH
Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean the
unit, since these will damage the finish. Wipe clean with a
soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a soft, clean slightly
moistened cloth — making sure to wipe the case off again
with a dry cloth.
ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE
Since the GW33 contains digital circuitry, it may cause
interference and noise if placed too close to TV sets,
radios or similar equipment. If such a problem occurs,
move the GW33 further away from the affected equip-
ment.

This section provides a brief overview of the GW33 — the basic structure of its various functions
and the memory system. Once you gain a general understanding of the internal workings of the
GW33 as given here, you’ll have the tools for taking full advantage of its features.
The diagram below shows the internal system of the
effects and other functions of the GW33.
The GW33 is equipped with a comprehensive set of
effects designed specifically for the guitar player. Up to
eight different effects can be used simultaneously. More-
over, a special Insert block lets you connect additional
external effect units to the multi-effect chain of the GW33.
Individual effects (excepting Noise Gate) can be turned on
and off as needed with the Pedal Switches and can be
quickly and easily adjusted with the Parameter Dials.
There are eight main effect blocks and a total of thirty-one
different effect types:
(Refer to the EFFECTS AND PARAMETERS section,
page 20, for more detailed descriptions and explanations
of these effects.)
With all these various effects, used individually or simul-
taneously, the GW33 has all you need to augment your
sound, whatever the application. Plus, flexible effect
bypass (on/off) functions give you even more realtime
control over the sound. A programmable Noise Gate is
also included for filtering out hum, hiss and other undesir-
able noise. (See page 29.)

The Effect Structure of the GW33
Keep in mind as you use the GW33 that the structure of its
effects is basically in a four-part hierarchy: 1) Effect
programs, 2) Effect blocks, 3) Effect types, and 4) Effect
parameters.
An effect program consists of eight different effect blocks,
all of which can be used simultaneously. A block includes
one or more effect types, one of which can be used at a
time. And each effect type has up to four different param-
eters, which allow you to set the sound of the effect. The
logic of this structure is reflected in the panel layout, with
effect blocks, types and parameters printed in a matrix
from left to right.
Memory Structure
The GW33 has a total of 50 effect programs, divided into
ten banks of five programs each. The 25 programs from
61 – 05 are Preset programs. Programs 11 – 55 are User
programs, and your own original settings can be stored to
these.

Once you’ve taken your GW33 out of the box and are ready to use it, you’ll have to make a few
connections and follow some simple instructions on setting it up.
GUIDED TOUR
When using your GW33 for the first time, read through this short section of the
manual. It guides you step-by-step in all basic operations: setting the instrument
up, connecting it properly to other equipment, and playing the effect programs.

1
First, make sure that the power switch on the GW33
is off before making ANY connections.
2
Plug the DC output cable from the supplied PA-3
adaptor (or another adaptor recommended by
Yamaha) (Never use the PA-3B.) into the DC IN
terminal on the rear panel, then plug the adaptor into
a convenient AC outlet.
The cable clip located next to this terminal helps to
prevent accidental unplugging of the power supply
during use. Wrap the adaptor cord firmly around the
clip (see the Rear Panel illustration, page 10).
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to use a different
AC adaptor with the GW33. (See the precaution
on page 3.)
3
Plug your instrument into the INPUT jack on the rear
panel.
For the sake of these instructions, we’ll assume
you’re using an electric guitar; however, most any
electronic instrument can be used.
NOTE
You should be careful if you are connecting
a synthesizer or electronic keyboard. Since their
output level is generally much higher than that of a
guitar, the volume control on the instrument should
be turned down accordingly.
4
Connect the GW33 output or outputs to your ampli-
fier/speaker system, as shown on page 10. Before
you do this, however, make sure that the power on
the system is first turned off and all volume controls
are set to zero — this includes the guitar controls and
the volume on the connected amp(s).
NOTE
Use the clean channel of the amplifier for
best results.
5
If you are using an optional FC7 Foot Controller
with the GW33, connect it to the FOOT CONTROL-
LER input jack on the rear panel. Make sure that the
pedal is at or near the maximum position.
6
Turn on the power of all the equipment, starting with
the GW33, and turning on the connected amplifier
last.
7
Before you turn up the volume and try to play, set all
the effects to off by using the Bypass function.
To do this, simultaneously press and hold down
Pedal Switches 2 and 3. Keep holding them down
(for roughly one second) until “bP” (Bypass)
appears in the BANK/MEMORY indicator.
This temporarily turns off all effect processing, and
lets you hear the “dry” input signal.
8
Now, set your guitar to a suitable volume. Next,
slowly bring up the level of the connected amplifier
as you play, until the level is suitable.
9
Finally, turn the Bypass function off by pressing any
one of the Pedal Switches (1 – 5 or B).
If you’ve followed all these instructions carefully,
you should now be able to hear the sound of your
guitar processed by the effects of the GW33, and are
able to try out some of the other effect programs of
the GW33. If no sound is output or the sound isn’t as
you expect, refer to the Troubleshooting section on
page 36.

13
The GW33 makes it extremely easy to adjust or change the sound of the effects. In this section,
you’ll learn how to change the effect type and use the Parameter Dials to change effect settings.
You’ll also learn how to compare the edited program with the original. Finally, you’ll learn how
save the new effect program you’ve created.
Editing an Effect Program
1
Select one of the User or Preset effect programs.
Although any effect program will do, select
program number 11 for this example.
NOTE
The on/off switching of the MOD 1/2 and
Delay/Reverb blocks is determined by the On/Off
parameter of those blocks. (See pages 24 and 27.)
4
Use the y and n buttons to select the
desired effect block row (in the parameter matrix
printed on the panel). (The lamp at the left of the
corresponding block lights.) For this example, press
either button repeatedly until the Distortion/Insert
block is selected.
NOTE
Even though creating and saving your own
effect program erases the previously stored program,
you can restore that particular factory Preset pro-
gram. Refer to RESTORING FACTORY-SET
EFFECT PROGRAMS on page 33 for details. Keep
in mind, however, that restoring the factory Preset
program will irretrievably erase the effect you’ve
created. For this reason, you may want to keep a
written record of the settings you make (using a copy
of the Blank Effect Parameter Chart on page 38), so
that you can reprogram the effect later if necessary.
2
Next, press the e button to enable
the Edit mode. (The EDIT/COMPARE lamp
lights and the ON/OFF lamp above the Bank Pedal
Switch flashes.)

In this condition, you can hear the sound of the original
effect program. You can also view the original parameter
values by selecting the desired effect block with the
y or n buttons and turning the Parameter
Dials. Doing this doesn’t change the value, it simply
displays it so that you can check it against the value
you’ve edited.
Each press of the e button switches back
and forth between the original program (lamp flashes) and
your new edits (lamp lights continuously).
When you’ve adjusted the sound to your satisfaction, you
may wish to save it for future recall. You can either copy
the settings down on paper (using a copy of the Blank
Effect Parameter Chart on page 38) or go on to the next
section and save the settings to the GW33’s memory.
CAUTION!
Be careful not to press the
p
button while editing. If you do, the original effect
program’s settings will be called up, erasing all
settings you had made to that point.
15
Saving an Effect Program
Now that you’ve created your own original effect pro-
gram, you will want to save the settings to a program
number, so that you can recall your new effect program in
the future. (For more information on saving effect pro-
grams and other matters relating to memory, see the
SYSTEM OVERVIEW section on page 7.)
1
If you’ve continued from the last section and have
new settings you want to save, press the
s button.
The SWAP/WRITE lamp lights and the program
number in the BANK/MEMORY indicator flashes
to indicate that the GW33 is ready to write the
settings to memory at the selected program number.
If you want to save the program to the current
number, skip to step #3. If you want to select a
different program for saving the new program, go to
the next step.
NOTE
Edited programs can be saved to the User
effect programs, in banks 1 – 5. Banks 6 – 0 are
reserved for the Preset effect programs, and cannot
be used to save edited programs.
NOTE
When you’ve edited one of the Preset
programs (61 – 05) and try to save it, “—” appears in
the BANK/MEMORY indicator until you select one of
the User program numbers (11 – 55).
2
If desired, select the destination User program
number (11 – 55) by using Parameter Dial A.
Keep in mind that the programs that you edit can
only be saved to one of the User program numbers,
and not to the Preset program numbers.

While playing, you can instantly get a clean, unprocessed sound by using the Bypass function.
This effectively cancels all currently active effects to give you a “dry” sound.
To use the Bypass function:
Simultaneously and firmly press and hold down Pedal
Switches 2 and 3. Keep holding them down (for roughly
one second) until “bP” (Bypass) appears in the BANK/
MEMORY indicator.
Now, when you play your guitar, you should hear the
guitar sound unprocessed by the effects.
NOTE
If a Foot Controller has been connected, it is
also disabled when Bypass is on.
To return to normal Play mode operation and the current
effect program, press any one of Pedal Switches 1 – 5 or
Pedal Switch B.
NOTE
As you press and hold Pedal Switches 2 and 3,
the BANK/MEMORY indicator may briefly show the
program number corresponding to one of those switches.
However, the program you selected before using Bypass
remains selected, and is the one returned to when turning
Bypass off.

HINT
Since you’ll probably want to listen to the
changes as you make them, make sure that all
relevant effect blocks are turned on. Better yet, turn off
all blocks except the one you are editing. This lets you
clearly hear only the effect you wish to edit. (One
possible exception to this guideline is the Amp Simula-
tor effect, changes to which are easier to hear when
Distortion is also on.)
