<Play Mode>
When a patch number, like the “A11” that appears
right after the power is turned on, is shown in the dis-
play, it indicates that you are in the Play mode.
You will usually perform in this mode. Until you are
familiar with how everything works, remember this:
you can always return to the Play mode by turning
the power off and then on again. (For more about
how the dials and buttons work in the Play mode,
please see p. 26.)

✽
While the patch number is showing in the display win-
dow, “Pdl” may appear once every several seconds.
When this happens, just turn the PARAMETER
SELECT dial to any position other than PATCH
INC/DEC BY S1/S2. (The meaning of this message is
explained later on p. 26.)
Setting Input Sensitivity
With the power turned on, adjust the input sensitivity
of each string according to the way the GK-2A is
mounted, as well as to match your own picking
strength. Since these settings are recorded automati-
cally, and will not be lost even if power is turned off,
it is not necessary to reset the sensitivity each time
you play.
<Procedure for Adjusting Input Sensitivity>
1. While in the Play mode, press [EDIT/PLAY].
2. Turn the PARAMETER SELECT dial to PICKUP
SENS (1—6) — the sensitivity settings for strings 1
to 6.
The sensitivity setting function is called up, and
the following appears in the display window:
<<fig. 1-3>>
3. When string 6 of the guitar is played, the string
number in the display automatically switches to
“6”.
The five-light indicator acts as a level meter, with
the LEDs lighting in sequence from the left accord-
ing to how strong the string is played.
4. If you find that, during your strongest actual play-
ing, the indicator light furthest to the right turns a
dim red, use the VALUE [+] and [-] buttons to
adjust the sensitivity. If the indicator light shines
bright red, it means that the level is set too high, so
use the [-] button to lower the sensitivity.
✽
If the sensitivity is set too high, there may be dropouts in
the sound, or you may be unable to express dynamics.
Setting sensitivity too low may also result in abnormal
operation, so take due care when making adjustments.
5. Adjust strings 5 to 1 in the same manner.
6. After you have finished the settings, press
[EDIT/PLAY] to return to the Play mode.
<In any of the following situations, please be
sure to readjust the sensitivity settings!>
• When using a guitar whose settings have not yet
been made
• When you carry out the procedure to return the GR-
30 to factory settings (p. 81)
• When you change the mounting of the GK-2A to
accommodate a change in the guitar, such as when
string height is readjusted
• When you replace a string with one of a different
gauge
Depending on the particular guitar, in some rare cases
the meter may still be pegged, even with the sensitivi-
ty at the lowest setting. If this kind of thing does
occur, make more adjustments to slightly widen the
space between the GK-2A’s separate pickups and the
strings.
When You Want to Change to Another
Guitar Equipped with the GK-2A
❍ With the GR-30, you can make four different string
sensitivity settings, which can be called up to
match the guitar you are currently using. If you
turn the PARAMETER SELECT dial, mentioned
just after step 1 above, to GUITAR SELECT, “Gt1”
will be displayed. (This is the factory setting). Use
the [+] and [-] buttons to select from “Gt.1” to
Gt.4”, and for each one, starting with step 2, carry
out the procedures described above to make sensi-
tivity settings for four different guitars.
❍ As long as the power is on, the last settings to be
selected are the ones that remain in effect. If you
want to call up any of the other three settings
groups, then while in the Play mode, press
[EDIT/PLAY], turn the PARAMETER SELECT
dial to GUITAR SELECT, use the [+] and [-] but-
tons to choose another guitar settings group from
“Gt.1”-”Gt.4”, and then press [EDIT/PLAY] again
to return to the Play mode.
