Overall Settings for the GR-33 (SYSTEM)

Adjusting the Brightness of the
Display (LCD Contrast)
Adjusting the Brightness of the Display
1. Press [SYSTEM] to enter System mode.
2. Press [PARAMETER] to select "LCD CONTRAST."
fig.1-06
3. Turn [VALUE] to adjust the contrast.
4. When you have finished adjusting the display, press
[PLAY] to return to Play mode.
Setting Input Sensitivity (PICKUP
SENS)
With the power turned on, adjust the input sensitivity of
each string according to how the GK-2A is mounted and to
match your own picking strength. Since these settings are
stored automatically—and will not be lost even if the power
is turned off—it is not necessary to reset the sensitivity each
time you play.
Procedure for Setting Input Sensitivity
1. Press [SYSTEM] to enter System mode.
2. Press [PARAMETER] to select "PICKUP SENS."
Sensitivity-setting is activated, and the following
appears in the display window:

String Number
Input Sensitivity
3. When String 6 of the guitar is played, the string
number in the display automatically switches to "6."
The level meter shown in the display will light from the
left, showing how strongly the string is played. The
current input-sensitivity setting for the string will also be
displayed next to the string number.
4. Use [VALUE] to adjust the sensitivity so that the square
indicator lights when you play most strongly in actual
performance.
fig.1-21
If the indicator furthest to the left is lit, the level is set too
high, so turn [VALUE] to lower the sensitivity.
* If the sensitivity is set too high, there may be dropouts in the
sound, or the response to dynamic changes in your playing
may be reduced. Setting sensitivity too low may also result in
problems, so make this adjustment carefully.
5. Adjust Strings 5 to 1 using the same technique.
6. When you have finished, press [PLAY] to return to Play
mode.
In any of the following situations, please be
sure to readjust the sensitivity settings!
• When using a guitar for which you have not yet made
sensitivity adjustments
• After performing a Factory Reset (p. 16)
• When you change the mounting of the GK-2A to
accommodate a change in the guitar, such as when string
height has been readjusted
• When you replace a string with one of a different gauge
In some rare cases, the sensitivity meter may show too high a
reading even with sensitivity at its lowest setting. If this does
occur, widen the space slightly between the GK-2A's
separate pickups and the strings.
Using Multiple Guitars (GUITAR SELECT)
You can store four separate string-sensitivity setups that can
