Chapter 4 Global Device Settings (SYSTEM)

Chapter 4

Adjust the Divided pickup sensitivity for each string.

1.

Follow Steps 1–3 in “Selecting the Settings”
(p. 42) to display the GK SETTING screen.

2.

Press PAGE [

] to display Page 4.

3.

Rotate the F1–F6 knobs to adjust the
sensitivity.

Play each open string with the maximum force you’d use in an
actual performance, and set the sensitivity such that the meter
registers a level just before reaching the maximum level.

*

If the large segments at the right end of the level meter appear, it

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

*

Pressing [F1]–[F6] initializes each string’s value to 65.

*

Depending on the guitar you use, 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.

4.

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

The VG-99 comes equipped with a function that automatically
determines whether or not a GK connection exists and switches the
internal settings accordingly. This makes it possible for you to all
functions other than a COSM guitar (COSM amp, effects, tuner, etc.)
when you’ve connected only to the GUITAR INPUT.

1.

Follow Steps 1–3 in “Selecting the Settings”
(p. 42) to display the GK SETTING screen.

2.

Press PAGE [

] to display Page 1.

3.

Use [F1] (SELECT) or the F1 knob to select the
setting.

*

You should ordinarily use AUTO (the default setting). In cases

where the auto-detect function does not operate correctly, (for

example, when you are using a Divided pickup other than the GK-3),

pickup, use [F2] or the F2 dial to change the setting.
