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 midand low-range of a humbucker while offering 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 effects and amp modeling

High quality effects and amp modeling are built in. There is also a dedicated “Poly FX” specifically 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.

Specifying the Output System (Sys: Output)

Choose “Sys: Output,” and specify the device (amp) that’s connected to the OUTPUT jacks.

Sys:Output

LINE/PHONES

*If headphones are connected, this will automatically be “LINE/PHONES” regardless of the Output setting.

	Value	Explanation
	LINE/PHONES	This is the appropriate setting when using headphones, or for when the
		GP-10 is connected to a keyboard amp, mixer, or digital recorder.
	JC-120	Choose this setting if the GP-10 is connected to the guitar input of a Roland
		JC-120 guitar amp.
	SMALL AMP	Choose this setting if the GP-10 is connected to a small guitar amp.
		Choose this setting if the GP-10 is connected to the guitar input of a combo-
	COMBO AMP	type guitar amp (i.e., an amp that contains the amp and speaker in a single
		unit) other than the JC-120. Depending on the guitar amp you’re using,
		using the “JC-120” setting might produce better results.
	STACK AMP	Choose this setting if the GP-10 is connected to the guitar input of a stack-
		type guitar amp (i.e., an amp in which the amp and speaker are separate
		units).
	JC-120 RETURN	Choose this setting if the GP-10 is connected to the JC-120’s RETURN jack.

		using the GP-10 with a guitar power amp and a speaker cabinet.

Setting Up the GK Pickups

GK settings are extremely important in order to play the GP-10 with the best possible sound. You must be sure to make these settings correctly.

MEMO: GK settings

	You can store three different sets of GK settings
		GK:Setting
	(GK Setting: 1–3). If you’re switching between three		1
	different guitars to use with the GP-10, you can
	make separate GK settings for each guitar. If you’re
	using only one guitar with the GP-10, choose “1” (the default setting).

You must set the GK pickup select switch to the “MIX” position!

If the switch is set to any position other than MIX, the unit won’t operate correctly (there will be no sound).

Roland GK-3 users

Roland V-Guitar GC-1 users

You must set this to the center(MIX) position!

Specifying the pickup type

Choose “GK1: Type,” and specify the type of pickup that’s installed on your guitar.”

GK1:Type

GK-3

	Value	Explanation	Value	Explanation
	GK-3	Roland GK-3	PIEZO F		Fishman
	GK-2A	Roland GK-2A	PIEZO G	Piezo Pickup	Graph Tech
	GC-1	Roland V-Guitar GC-1	PIEZO L		L.R. Baggs
	PIEZO	Piezo Pickup (flat response)	PIEZO R		RMC

*A piezo pickup is a type of pickup that is mounted on the bridge of the guitar, and uses a piezoelectric element to detect the vibrations of the strings.

*Choose “GK-2A” if you’re using a commercially available guitar that’s equipped with GK pickup.

Specifying your guitar’s scale length

Choose “Scale,” and specify your guitar’s scale length (the distance between the bridge and nut).

GK1:Scale

ST

Choose “ST” for a standard Stratocaster type, or choose “LP” for a Les Paul type. Alternatively, choose the closest value in the range of 500–660 mm.

* This parameter is not shown if you select “GC-1” as the pickup type.

Specifying the distance from the bridge

Choose “Distance 1”–”Distance 6,” and specify the distance (mm) from the center of the pickup to the bridge saddle.

GK1:Distance 1

20.0mm

* If the pickup type is set to “GC-1” or one of the piezotype pickups, this setting is not necessary.

Adjusting the pickup sensitivity

What is Pickup Sensitivity?

GK-pickup “

If the distance between each string and the GK pickup is different, the volume will also be different. The pickup sensitivity adjustment allows you to compensate for this difference in volume.

1. Choose “Sens,” and adjust the sensitivity for the 6th string.

GK1:Sens 6

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.

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!
