<Output>
Outputting the guitar sound and synth sound separately
You can connect a general-purpose shielded cable to the
GUITAR OUT jack to add external guitar effects or to
send your guitar sound to your guitar amplifier. With
this arrangement, you can control the sound of the guitar
exactly the same way you would if the guitar were not
connected to the GR-33. The synthesizer sound -
without the guitar sound mixed in-will be output from
the MIX OUT jacks.
Outputting the guitar sound and synth sound together
Connect cables only to the MJX OUT jacks-do not
connect a cable to the GUITAR OUT jack. The sound of
the guitar itself will be output along with the synth
sound from the MIX OUT jacks. TI1is way, both guitar
and synthesizer sounds can be played through a single
stereo (or mono, if necessary) amp.
Applying an external effect only to the guitar sound
and outputting it along with the synth sound
Make the following connections.

are output together from the MIX OUT jacks.
Listening through headphones
Make sure nothing is plugged into the L (MONO) MIX
OUT jack, and connect a set of stereo headphones to the
R (PHONES) jack.
*
Yo11 cannot si1111,!ta11eo11s/y use the R (MONO) jack as a
LINE OUT while using the L (PHONES) jack as a
headphone jack-that is, you can't use a monaural plug
and a stereo plug at the same time.

<About Play Mode>
When a patch number-such as the "A
11"
that appears
right after the power is h1rned on-is shown in the
display, you are in Play mode. You will typically be in
Play mode as you perform. Play mode is the basic state
of the GR-33.
Until you are familiar with how everything in the GR-33
works, remember this: You can always return to Play
mode by turning the power off and then on again.
(For more about how the dials and buttons work in Play
mode, please seep. 30.)
