Hello,

These questions have probably been answered, and although there seems to be a lot of anguish inflicted by the Graphtech system, here goes.....(I have a Ghost equipped FR guitar)...

- Does the Ghost system itself have an on-board mixer for the mag and Acoustiphonic outputs, sending either/or along pin 7 of the 13 Pin?

- If so, how is the Mag and Acoustphonic set up on the TRS 1/4" jack to allow the two signals to be separated with a TRS cable?

- Does the GR-55 utilise Pin 9? The schematics of the GR-55 show it as GK SW3.

Cheers

Chris.

Each Ghost installation is unique

Not all Graph-Tech 13 pin systems employ an Acoustiphonic preamp

Review the Graph-Tech install docs vs your actual Guitar

Third party GK preamps (RMC,Graph-Tech) do not employ pin #9 -but still work with GR-55

GK-3's unique Pin 9 functionality explained

Big issue with all Piezo GK systems is adjacent string vibration crosstalk (impacts COSM Alternate Tunings ÷ Warbles)

Using lowest possible GK STRING SENSITIVITY  lowers adjacent string vibration crosstalk and yields best results on GR-55
