I am thinking about getting a harmonizer pedal (Boss PS6 or TC Electronic Quintessence).
I am curious if anyone here has any experience using harmonizer pedals with the GR55.
Also, do you think it should go before or after the GR55?
Thanks in advance.

Harmonizer would work best on the dry input signal in a normal set with a regular guitar input, but in the case of the GR-55,
 where would you plug the Harmonizer pedal into before the GR-55? (unless your GR-55 has been modified).

The GR-55 output is the only place it will fit, but the Harmonizer may not track the pitch too well with added effects and drive.

You can make static harmonies (non-intelligent tracking) by using the normal guitar tone as the harmony root,
 and add alternate tuning harmony with the User custom tuning in the modeled guitar tone, and more harmonies using the PCM synths pitched differently.

A GKP-2 breakout box and GKP-2 distribution unit both have normal-guitar buffered pin7 inputs. Btw, I'm currently working on a basic non-invasive (no GR55 drilling) P7 buffer mod unit.

Not being pedantic, but TayzGpa's request is possible.

GKP-2 buffer input.


GKP-2 distribution pedal with three switchable normal-guitar buffer inputs.

Wasn't thinking.
You would be right, that is the only place it could go.
