Chapter 1 Outputting Sounds
First install the GK-3 divided pickup (optional) on the guitar to be
used. For installation instructions, refer to the GK-3 Owner’s
Manual.
The GK-3 cannot be used with the following guitars (the
pickup will not function properly even when installed).
• 12-string guitars, pedal steel guitars, and guitars with other
than six strings
• Nylon-stringed or gut-stringed guitars and guitars using any
non-steel strings
• Bass guitars
• Other guitars whose construction does not provide adequate
space to properly attach the GK-3
About the GK-3’s GK Volume Control
With the VG-99, you can assign various different functions to the
GK-3’s GK volume control. p. 82
You may not be able to control the VG-99’s volume level with the GK
volume control another parameter is assigned to the GK volume
control.
About the GK-3’s Select Switches
As the VG-99 allows you to set the balance between the COSM guitar
and the normal guitar volume in each individual patch, we
recommend that MIX be the basic function used for the select switch.
Also note that if a parameter other than volume is assigned as the
GK volume control function, the GK-3’s select switch will stop
functioning normally.
To perform with the VG-99, first set up the following devices.
• A guitar on which the GK-3 has been installed or equipped with
internal GK function
• Guitar amp/speaker or headphones
Performing can be made even more convenient using the following
devices:
• MIDI foot controller (Roland FC-300; optional)
• Expression pedal (Roland EV-5 or BOSS FV-500L/500H with a
connection cable (stereo 1/4” phone – stereo 1/4” phone);
optional)
• Pedal switch (BOSS FS-5U or FS-6; optional)
