Normal pickup sound
If you use the CHAIN function to place the COSM guitar at a
location other than the beginning, the normal pickup sound
that is processed from the beginning of the effect chain is
made available for output along with the normal pickup
sound that is added by the mixer of the COSM guitar.
By using this function, you can:
1. Route only the normal pickup sound through the amp
simulator to create sounds with a greater sense of “drive.”
2. Use the COSM guitar section to create sounds that
combine the divided pickup with the normal pickup
(for example, 12-string guitar sounds).

* If you wish have independent control of the volume with
“1” in the examples above, assign the SYNTH VOL knob
of the GK-2A to the effect level ahead of the COSM guitar.
