During Normal Play with Just the GR-33
The built-in effects dont work
The pitch of the synth sounds doesnt change in the same way as the pitch of the guitar sounds
When Changing Patch Settings
The display suddenly starts flashing
The sound doesnt vary when the settings are changed
When Playing the GR-33 sound generator with a MIDI Keyboard or Other Instrument
The external sound generator plays only one string (some strings cant be heard)
