16-pin GK Guitar Upgrade Bundle with Intelligent Converter Box 

The 16-Pin Guitar Upgrade Kit moves your 13-Pin GK guitar into the 21st century! 
Historically GK-3 and 13-pin jacks & cables have fragility, grounding and noise issues detrimental to live performance. The 16-pin upgrade eliminates all existing issues with robust jack & plug designs.
Guitarists with multiple 13-pin guitars may not want to switch to the new BOSS serial system due to cost and other issues, or may want to continue to use proven 13-pin synths without serial-analog conversion.

The upgrade kit consists of the following:

• 16-Pin guitar connector with cable assembly, plug and play for GK-3 Internal Board

• 16-Pin guitar cable, available in different lengths 

• 16-Pin to 13-Pin Intelligent Converter Box

The 16-pin guitar connector with cable assembly is made by Synth-Linx and is also a direct replacement for Synth-Linx 13-pin GK-3 internal installations. It is also available in custom lengths for DIY new GK-3 internal kit installations.

The 16-pin guitar cables are available in 3-, 5-, and 7-meter standard lengths with option for right-angle plug at guitar end. Custom lengths are available.

The 16- to 13-pin Adapter Box fits on a pedalboard for interfacing with existing GK synths using a short length of 13-pin cable.

The 16- to 13-pin Intelligent Converter Box allows for remote foot control over SW1/SW2, GK VOL, MIX SW. It fits on a pedalboard and makes use of standard foot switches and expression pedal. It is user-configurable as 16-pin to 13-pin, 13-pin to 13-pin, or 16-pin to 16-pin. There are three TRS jacks for GK controls: FS-6/FS-7 foot switch or equivalent for SW1, SW2, EV-5 expression pedal or equivalent for SYNTH VOL, and FS-6/FS-7 foot switch or equivalent for MIX SW.

The default is guitar controls pass-through; inserting a foot control/pedal TRS plug switches over from guitar to foot controls. Any or all may be used. Guitar or bass compatible. A short 13-pin or 16-pin cable connects to a GK synth or to a BOSS A2D box.
