MIX OUT Jacks L(PHONES)/R(MONO)
 
The output of the synthesizer is sent out, or “output,” 
from here. Ordinarily, two cables are plugged into the 
L and R jacks, and the signal is then sent to a stereo 
amplifier.
You can use the L (PHONES) jack as a headphone jack 
for stereo headphones that have a standard 1/4” stereo 
plug—leave the R (MONO) jack unplugged.
You cannot simultaneously use the R (MONO) jack as a 
mono output while using the L (PHONES) jack as a 
headphone jack.
When there is nothing connected to the GUITAR OUT 
jack, the sound of the guitar itself is also mixed into 
these outputs.
 
* In order to fully experience the quality of the factory-installed 
patches, we recommend using a stereo amplifier or stereo 
headphones. When connecting the GR-33 to a mono amp, use 
only the R (MONO) jack.
 
18 GUITAR RETURN Jack L/R(MONO)
 
When using the GUITAR OUT jack (see below) as an 
external effect send, use this jack to return the signal. 
The synthesizer sound and the guitar sound with 
effects are output together from the MIX OUT jacks.
 
19 GUITAR OUT Jack
 
Use this jack when you want the guitar sound to be 
output from the GR-33 separately from the synth 
sound. Connect the jack to your guitar amp or guitar 
effects devices.
 
20 BANK SHIFT Jack
 
Use this jack for connecting a patch bank expansion 
foot switch to the GR-33.
You can connect two Boss FS-5U foot switches using a 
PCS-31 cable (each sold separately). Expansion foot 
switches control different functions in all modes except 
Play mode.
 
21 GK IN Connector
 
Use this special 13-pin branch cable, included with the 
GR-33, to connect the GK-2A divided pickup (sold 
separately).
 
* For connection to a guitar designed for use with a synthesizer, 
consult the guitar’s manufacturer or your dealer.
 
22 MIDI Connectors (MIDI IN/OUT)
 
Plug MIDI cables into these jacks to connect the GR-33 
to an external MIDI device. Do this when you want the 
GR-33 to control sounds in an external MIDI sound 
generator module, or to load tone data stored on an 
external MIDI storage device.
 
23 Power Switch
 
This is the switch that turns power to the GR-33 on and 
off.
 
24 AC Adapter Jack/Cord Hook
 
Connect the AC adapter included with the GR-33 to 
this jack. Hang the adapter cord on the cord hook to 
help prevent the accidental pulling out of the cord from 
the jack while you are playing.
 
* Use ONLY the AC adapter included with this guitar 
synthesizer.

The explanations in this manual include illustrations that 
depict what should typically be shown by the display. 
Note, however, that your unit may incorporate a newer, 
enhanced version of the system (e.g., includes newer 
sounds), so what you actually see in the display may not 
always match what appears in the manual.
