Marr independently described the GT-100 live workflow to Premier Guitar and Roland/BOSS. The processor contains virtual drive, delay, modulation and other blocks whose internal order changes by patch, so this archive correctly represents the physical audio unit rather than inventing one universal internal chain. The two small external up/down controls are remote switches and are omitted.
