GK-Ready Guitars and Options
Like a normal stompbox, the GR-D features simple controls that are quick and intuitive to use, but behind their
simplicity is an enormous range of sound-shaping potential. When you turn the GAIN, COLOR, and TONE knobs,
you’re actually tweaking multiple under-the-hood parameters specifically tailored to each sound type, letting
you achieve substantial tonal shifts even with small changes. Four memory locations let you store your favorite
sounds, with quick recall via the control switches on your GK-equipped guitar. A Solo function, accessible with
one of the pedal’s two footswitches, gives you an instant boost of volume and presence for lead playing.
The GR-D offers a multitude of connections for integrating with different rigs, including pedalboards, multi-
eects setups, racks, mixers, and other V-Guitar devices. A dual MIX/GUITAR INPUT allows you to connect devices
and blend them with the GR-D sound, with the combined mix sent to the pedal’s mono/stereo output. The 13-
pin GK output carries the guitar’s normal pickup signal as well, and controls on the GK-equipped guitar allow you
to blend the GK and normal sounds right from your instrument. A dedicated GUITAR OUTPUT jack on the GR-D
lets you connect the normal guitar sound directly to an amp or eects with no GK processing applied. It can also
be used in conjunction with the MIX/GUITAR INPUT to create a send/return loop for your normal eects chain.
With its built-in GK pickup and 13-pin output, Roland’s popular GC-1 GK-Ready Stratocaster is a perfect t for the
GR-D, and there are GK-equipped guitars available from many other manufacturers as well. Roland also oers the
GK-3 Divided Pickup, allowing you to easily add GK compatibility to your favorite guitar with no modication.
