Chapter 1 Outputting Sounds

*

If the level meter registers in excess of the maximum level, it means

the level is set too high. Lower the sensitivity setting.

*

Depending on the guitar you are using, the level meter may move to

the maximum level even when the sensitivity is set to the minimum

setting. If this occurs, adjust the clearance separating the divided

pickup and the strings so the distance is slightly greater than

specified.

11.

Check the volume balance of the six strings.

Play the sixth through first strings with the normal amount of
force; if any string sounds particularly loud, lower the
sensitivity setting for that string, and keep adjusting until the
differences in the strings’ volume levels are minimal.

12.

Press [EXIT] several times to return to the Play
screen.

*

Making these settings is necessary whenever you install the divided

pickup on a new or different guitar and when the divided pickup

height is changed. Once the settings are completed properly, they are

saved when the power is turned off. Afterwards, you need not make

the settings each time you play the instrument.

For more information on other parameters in the GK
Settings, refer to

“GK SETTING”

(p. 166).

Tune the guitar using the VG-99’s tuner function.
