Wow big difference between ghost and GK-3

(1/3) > >>

Litesnsirens:
I know there are a lot of parameters that need to be tweaked to get things set up.  I learned that a few weeks ago when I first got my GR-55.  This isn't so much the tracking issues here and getting rid of the unintentional triggers that i'm talking about here I expected to have to tweak those, but all my patches sound different.

I guess the GK-3 is the way to go, I mean it's the early runnings with the ghost system but the GK-3 sounds a lot better all around so far.  I would have thought the piezos would work better but it appears I'm mistaken.  I may have to invest in a GC-1 start.  Anyone tried one?  Comments? about the GC-1 strat or the issue I'm having?

Read the GR-55 FAQ Top things to know thread.

Take a look at this it works great for peizo guitars.

Litesnsirens:
Thanks Guys!!
I'm so glad I found this forum, lots of very helpful members.
I will read through these threads, I would be really happy if I can get consistent sound between the piezos and the GK-3.

Litesnsirens:
Ok so I read through some of the material, interesting stuff. I haven't really had a chance to experiment with my piezo guitar yet but I will soon.  I just have a few more questions.

1) Jim, in the write up that you sent me it says that for piezos a lot of threads say to set the sensitivity to 0.  I take it that your opinion is quite the opposite and that it should be set has high as possible without going over the level meter.

2) What is the OPT-1 from RMC all about.  I can see that it is a device that you install right inside the GR-55 and that it is reversible, but will that be something I don't want installed when using a GK-3 pick-up.  I will try to read up a little more on it to see what it offers specifically in terms of tracking and tone.

3) Elantric, I noticed in some of your materials that you felt the piezos sounded too brittle.  I don't know that I would say i find it brittle and there do seem to be parameter settings for the tone of the piezo pickups in the settings.  To give an example of what I am experiencing.  I have a patch which is a tele neck pickup into a Twin.  With the GK-3 it sounds very clean and clear, with the piezo it sounds over driven and muddy.
