INPUT AND OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
INPUT GK CONNECTORS AND INPUT GUITAR JACKS
The unit supports up to four connected guitars. Each input channel has two input
connectors, one Roland 13-pin GK compatible connector and one regular guitar jack.
The jack inputs are buffered and mixed into the GTR signal chain to the output devices.
1.
A regular guitar may be connected to the input guitar jack of the channel.
2.
A 13-pin GK-Ready guitar may be connected to the GK-input of the channel.
3.
For a GK-3 guitar the 2CM (two-cable-method) may be used, connecting the regular
guitar pickups straight to the input jack using a separate guitar cable and connecting
the GK hex pickup to the input GK connector using a 13-pin cable.
Note: If both channel inputs are used at the same time, i.e. connecting both a GK guitar and
a regular guitar at the same channel, the two sounds will be mixed together.
OUTPUT CONNECTORS “GK A” & “GK B”
Up to two 13-pin compatible guitar synthesizer units may be connected. They are referred to
as A and B. If an external 12DC adapter is not connected any of the connected units will
power the device and your guitars. Read the section “Powering the unit” for further
information.
The recommended max total 13-pin cable length (including cable between guitar and
GKMX-42, and cable from GKMX-42 to the synthesizer) is 10 meters.
