Cutting-edge modeling guitar powered by COSM
The GP-10 provides a wide range of modeling guitars powered by COSM technology, including Stratocaster, Telecaster, Les Paul, Jazz Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, and Sitar. In
addition, it can also create new dimensions of sound that are unavailable from conventional electric guitars, such as a Wide Range model that gives you a fat sound while
preserving the wide range of a single-coil pickup, and a Bright Humbucker model that keeps the rich mid- and low-range of a humbucker while oering a crisp high end.
A variety of alternate tunings
You can choose from alternate tunings such as Drop-D, Open-G, and D-MODAL. Without swapping guitars or changing the string tension, you can instantly switch between
a wide variety of alternate tunings. There’s also a 12-string guitar mode. You can even use “USER” to specify your own tuning.
Powerful eects and amp modeling
High quality eects and amp modeling are built in. There is also a dedicated “Poly FX” specically for the GK pickup, which allows you to extract an independent string
signal for each string. This lets you experience completely new sounds that were impossible for a guitar of the past, equipped with a conventional pickup.

Adjusting the pickup sensitivity
What is Pickup Sensitivity?
If the distance between each string
and the GK pickup is dierent, the
volume will also be dierent. The
pickup sensitivity adjustment allows
you to compensate for this dierence

1. Choose “Sens,” and adjust the sensitivity for the 6th string.
in volume.
GK1:Sens 6
[■■■■■■■■] 50
Play the 6th string as strongly as you ever expect to play it in actual performance, and
use the [VALUE] knob to adjust the sensitivity as high as possible without allowing the
meter to reach the full-scale position.
* If the level meter reaches the full-scale position, the level is excessive. Lower the
sensitivity.
* Depending on the guitar you’re using, the level meter might reach full-scale even
if the sensitivity is at minimum. If this is the case, adjust the distance between the
divided pickup and the string so it’s somewhat greater than the recommendation.
2. In the same way, adjust the sensitivity for the 5th through 1st strings as well.
3. Check the volume balance of the six strings.
1
Play each of the strings 6–1 at normal strength; if a string sounds unusually loud,
lower the sensitivity of that string to minimize any discrepancy in volume between
the strings.
This completes the initial setup. Now you’re ready to play the GP-10!
