QuoteIn 2023, the Boss GKC-AD has one purpose- to provide a TRS SERIAL GK digital signal to a Boss GM-800.

Its not clear from your post you are employing a GM-800

Well, now in late 2023, I formally declare that the Boss GKC-AD has more than one purpose. In this setup, I am not employing a GM-800 at all. I only use the GKC-AD to provide power through the breakout cable to the 13-pin input on the guitar. ie. Connect the GKC-AD's female "GK In" port to the breakout cable's male 13-pin GK Preamp Power Connector that is labeled, well, it's labeled "GK Power". Don't connect anything to the GKC-AD's "Guitar out" nor its "GK out".

Anyone familiar with the RackVax Converter module adapter

I've just thought that maybe that is possible to replace this system with Bill's mini breakout cable jack type https://www.separate-strings.co.uk/breakout%20cables%20and%20more.html
 plugged into Behringer's UMC1820 line outputs connected to classic 13pin Roland cable and then there comes the huge problem...How do we get the pins from the 13-pin cable soldered to the Line6 JTV bridge plate PCB stock L.R. Baggs x-bridge/Radiance piezo? For now, the only specs I found are a 200 Ohm impedance for Baggs piezo and Behringer's line outputs are probably the 100-600 Ohm span. What about the power? Voltage and resistance? Anybody's help is appreciated.

I don't quite understand what you want to do over-all, would a Boss GP-10 or SY-1000 do what you wish and do a better job ?

Not really. This is the matter of modelling quality and authenticity. JTV with 1.81 firmware is unbeatable. There was never anything to come close and still there isn't.

Isn't it then just easier to get the Rackvax adapter - its a bit more money but seems like a lot of hassle to create something that performs the same function?

Not available right now. 5 buyers are needed for the first run since 2016. I am in touch with the CEO Mr. Correy and he swore to inform me of the situation with the possibility of building the device change.

Another truly abandoned gem. What a pity!
