Just got a used GT 100. After updating the firmware, I decided to reset to factory defaults. Before I did this, the tap button had not been flashing the beats per minute. After the reset, the button starts flashing automatically when you turn the amp on. Is this normal default behavior? And is there a way to turn the flashing off? Thanks.

You must be mistaken about not flashing before. I've had the GT100 since the day it hit the showroom floor almost 2 years ago and have install every one of the probably 10 firmware updates and it has always flashed. There's no way to turn it off, never has been. Maybe you were using a patch with reverb instead of delay when you didn't notice flashing or some such thing.

Thanks. I immediately noticed the flashing after the factory reset, so hard to believe I wouldn't have noticed it before. Anyway, good to know it's normal behavior. Just for background, the amp came to me with the original run firmware (1.0.38). I did the patch and updated to current firmware, and then I reset it.

Just noticed there is no flashing Tap button on some of the presets of my GT-40.
106- Your Mom
110- Acoustic Sim
120- Single Scoop
Also a couple of downloaded ones are flash free.
May be many more, but haven't been through the whole set...

Firmware version 2.0.25

The tap button (and the green light on the footswitch) only flashes when there is a time related pedal in the currently selected preset, e.g. delay, tremolo, etc. And it always flashes when one is present.

If it isn't flashing for a preset then that preset doesn't use a time related pedal.

That explains it! Thanks.

wait til you find out high gain can and will pick up that flashing delay light and turn it into a clicky noise.

its avoidable enough to just be an amusing quirk
