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.
GK S1/S2 Setting
This selects the functions for the GK pickup’s S1 and S2 
buttons.
1. Rotate [GUITAR TYPE] to select 
“12 STRING/ELECTRIC” (GK S1/S2).
2. Press MEMORY button [1] , [2] , [3], or [4]  to select the 
functions for the S1 and S2 buttons.
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.

4. Set the sensitivity for the fifth through first strings in 
the same way.
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.
