5. Tune each of the other strings, 5 to 1, to A, D, G, B, and

Selecting the output device (OUTPUT SELECT)
In order for the GR-33 to produce the correct output levels, 
you must select the type of device to which its outputs are 
connected (MIX OUT).
fig.1-14
1. Press [OUTPUT SELECT] and select the appropriate 
setting.
The currently selected setting will light.
• GUITAR AMP:
Select this when using a dedicated guitar amp.
• LINE:
Select this when using a keyboard amp, general-purpose 
instrument amp, mixer, MTR, or headphones.
The GR-33’s sound generator is a PCM synthesizer that can 
reproduce a wide range of timbres. To optimally capture its 
rich synthesizer sounds, use a keyboard amp, other general 
instrument amplifier, PA system, or other such equipment 
instead of a guitar amplifier if possible.
* Changing the OUTPUT SELECT setting will not affect the 
settings that are stored in each patch.
Turning off the guitar amp 
simulator (G.AMP SIM)
The GR-33 has a built-in guitar amp simulator (G.AMP SIM). 
If OUTPUT SELECT is set to “LINE,” the guitar amp 
simulator will be applied only to the guitar sound itself. This 
allows you to create the illusion of the original guitar sound 
being played through a guitar amp, even when it is being fed 
directly into another device.
If you are not using the GR-33’s internal guitar amp 
simulator—if you are using an external amp simulator effect 
device, for example—set the GR-33 as follows.
Turning the Amp Simulator Off
1. Press [SYSTEM] to enter System mode.
2. Press [PARAMETER] to select “G.AMP SIM”
fig.1-15
3. Turn [VALUE] to select “Off.”
• Off:
The amp simulator will not be used.
• On:
The amp simulator will be used when OUTPUT SELECT 
is set to “LINE.”
4. Press [PLAY] to return to Play mode.
* When you once again wish to use the amp simulator, select 
“On” in Step 3.
