Roland Forums

I have called Roland ( no luck), emailed (ditto) and asked this question to Guitar Center. Can I play a patch and then switch to guitar to hear just my guitar (pass through).

Yes you can, by assigning somrthing like the CTL pedal to switch off the synth tones and/or switch on the guitar tone.
You save each patch with those settings, or set the pedal to do that on every patch with the System/Global settings.

you could even try the switch on the GK pickup which allows you to select guitar pickups only.... i.e. no synth/model effect.

When I switch the GK to Guitar, I don’t get any sound at all.

In that case plug the short jack lead supplied with the gk pickup between the jack socket on your guitar to the jack input on the gk3. If you have a gk2 the input is mini jack.

Thanks for responding but, I’ve done that without any luck. I may have to use two amps to to get straight guitar solos done.

Take the guitar out on the back of the gr55 then, and connect it to your amplifier. If you are usin two amps, consider using a boss ab2 selector pedal.

Shouldn’t I be able to just select guitar on the gk and by pass any synth/model effect.

You can!

How would I do that? Can this be done without reconfiguring a patch.

Hi i am having a similar problem, i been out and bought a full range keyboard amp because my guitar amp cant take some of the bassy sound coming from the synth side of the pedal, now i thought you could send all the synth sound out through the main out output and the guitar both normal pickup and modelling with effects out through the guitar out but cant seem to get the gr55 to do this,

this what im using and how i have got it set…

Fender roland ready strat with gk2 pickup

GR55 System/other/guitar out source/patch

GR55 Master/patch other/ guitar out source modelling

i have set a patch like this: modelling guitar through AMP and MFX what i get is modelling guitar with amp and mfx out through the main output and clean modelling guitar out of the guitar output, is this right?
