Synth & acoustic/electric set-up
Steve Oliver’s Roland/Yamaha set-up
Currently, guitarist/vocalist Steve Oliver
uses an all Roland/Boss/Yamaha set-up
by sending all guitar signals through the
13-pin cable. He splits the 13-pin signal
using a Roland splitter A/B box and then
feeds both his GR33 synth and VG88
guitar modeler. This gives him the
ability to trigger synth sounds with the
GR33 and also send both analog guitar
sounds and hexaphonic sounds to the
VG88 guitar modeler. He also con-
nects a Yamaha Motif keyboard to his
GR33 via a standard MIDI cable. This
allows him to trigger even more sounds
from that keyboard. Steve controls the
Yamaha keyboard audio by sending the
output through a stereo volume pedal.
He also incorporates a BOSS Loop Sta-
tion by sending the electric guitar signal
out of the VG88 into the Loop Station.
He can then play guitar or bass riffs and
create loops to build up various parts of
an entire song. Everything is sent into a
mixer for amplifying the audio for both
stage and audience.

Acoustic/electric set-up
If you plan to play only electric guitar and the piezo
acoustic pickup with no synth, then use two standard
1/4” guitar cables. Each cable will carry individual pick-
up signals to your choice of amplifier. The piezo will re-
quire a 9v battery be installed.
To play all 3 pickup systems, you will need to use a 13-pin cable.
The 13-pin will carry all signals to the guitar synth. Most guitar
synths will have a “guitar out” jack. Plug your guitar amplifier
into the “guitar out” jack on the synth. Both acoustic and elec-
tric signals will come through the “guitar out” jack. The level of
each pickup system will be controlled by the guitar’s individual
volume controls.
