13-Pin Input Breakout
Roland/BOSS GK guitar interface for hexaphonic or polyphonic processing
Overview:
The 13-Pin Input Breakout module receives signals from a Roland GK-3 compatible guitar and converts them to modular levels using low-noise audio op-amps.
Gain options include 10x (20dB), 30x (30dB), or 100x (40dB).
Gain controls allow you to adjust the gain from zero to full-scale in the amplified string outputs.
Amplifier boards are easily replaceable with different gain versions. Check the shop for replacement boards.
The module provides power to the electronics in your GK-3 compatible guitar.
Hand-assembled in the USA.
Important Note:
This module has been tested successfully with Roland GK-3, GK-2A, Graph Tech Hexpander, and RMC Poly-Drive pickup systems.
Roland GK-2A pickups (including those on the Fender GC-1) require a special version of this module.
Please indicate if you intend to use a Roland-ready or GC-1 Stratocaster with this module at the time of your order and we will supply the special version.
