GK devices results in excessive cable length, which may hinder normal operation. * Allowing a GK device to remain connected to the GKP-4 even though it is not being used can cause your GK devices to malfunction, and can also be a source of noise. Disconnect any GK device that is not being used.
Connection Example Here’s how to set up four units, a VG-88, a GR-33, A WP-20G, and an OC-20G, along with a guitar amp (mono). * If you wish to play in stereo, use a mixer. The VG-88 provides the power supply to the GK-2A. The GK SW (DOWN/S1, UP/S2) and GK VOL (SYNTH VOL) are used only for the VG-88.
