Thanks Ben for the great info, I'm still thinking of building a Lefty out of the new TTV89 sitting in my office. Just need the time

Check 1/4" TRS Output with Ohm meter

Tip = analog Guitar OUT

Ring  = +7VDC Power

Sleeve = Ground / Earth



FWIW - i did locate this on the net - from the old Line 6 forum  - but its targeted for adding internal GK-KIT-GT3 to a Variax - and use the existing Piezo saddles to drive both Variax DSP board and Roland GK board


Suggest read this thread too

Unfortunately the web links are broken. I have a different challenge but related. I have a Roland VG Fender with I suspect the GT3 pick up. I'd like to use the Variax piezos. Has anyone tried this? It's similar to the above but as the link is gone I could not check.

Roland G5 Strat / Fender VG Strat- can 13 pin connector be added? (like GC1)

Really nice piece of work. I'm a total noob and just learning about modelling. I have a question are the transducers in the GK3 piezos like on the JTV? If so is there much difference in the output?

No, the transducers in the GK pickups are magnetic pickups that function pretty much the same as your normal electric guitar pickups, except they're smaller and there's one for each string.

Some say that a VG's electric guitar emulations sound best if you use a magnetic pickup instead of a piezo. I believe that this is true.
