Settings for the GK Pickup (GK Setup)

GK PHASE Setting

This matches the phase of the GK pickup's sound with the sound from the guitar's pickup.

*If the phases are not matched, the sound from each source will interfere with each other when mixed, altering the tonal qualities and volume levels.

1.Set the GK pickup’s select switch to “MIX.”

2.Rotate [GUITAR TYPE] to select “HOLLOW” (GK PHASE).

3.While playing the sixth string, press MEMORY button [1] or [2] to select the setting which does not diminish the volume level in the low end.

Memory button

Setting

[1]NORMAL

“12 STRING/ELECTRIC” (GK S1/S2).

GK SENS 6–1 Settings

This sets the GK pickup sensitivity for each string and

adjusts the volume balance between the strings.

1.Set the GK pickup’s select switch to “SYNTH.”

2.Rotate [GUITAR TYPE] to select “STANDARD” (GK SENS 6).

3.While playing the sixth string, press a MEMORY button [1]–[10] to set the sensitivity for the sixth string. The sensitivity increases the higher you set the value, resulting in higher volume levels.

The PICKUP indicators show the level. The indicators light from the bottom up in response to how strongly you play the string.

*Set this to a value such that the center (C) indicator lights, and the upper (F) indicator flashes from time to time during the most dynamic moments of a performance. Also, monitor the actual sound to make sure it is not distorted.

5th String: Rotate [GUITAR TYPE] to select

“12 STRING/ACOUSTIC” (GK SENS 5).

4th String: Rotate [GUITAR TYPE] to select “SYNTH LEAD” (GK SENS 4).

3rd String: Rotate [GUITAR TYPE] to select “SYNTH PAD” (GK SENS 3).

2nd String: Rotate [GUITAR TYPE] to select “SLOW GEAR” (GK SENS 2).

1st String: Rotate [GUITAR TYPE] to select “POLY OCTAVE” (GK SENS 1).

*If you cannot attain a suitable level even when the value is set to its maximum (10), check the installation of the GK pickup (the clearance between the strings and the pickup).

*If any string produces a particularly loud sound, lower the sensitivity for that string in order to minimize volume differences between strings.
