GM800 GK AD Converter

[Witelite]

I'm using the ADC converter to carry the guitar signal from the 13 pin cable.

I noticed it's a lot hotter than the prior GR 55.

I assume there's no way to lower the volume or input levels using that method?

Anybody else noticing this?

Rmc piezo equipped guitar and GKC converter    They are Brian Moore guitars equipped with the piezo 13 pin

Only for GKC-AD users with GM-800

If you are using GK 13 pin guitars with GKC-AD converter, in the GM-800 SYSTEM  GK SETTINGS area, there will be a new
GAIN (1-4)  setting
- this sets the 13 pin to SERIAL conversion GKC-AD Sensitivity GAIN , which provides a wider range for GK STRING SENSITIVITY settings

Remember that a GK STRING SENSITIVITY
(SENSE 1 thru 6) setting of "0"  represents the lowest gain level, but its not a mute.
If you have a GK 13 guitar with high gain output, (like  a Brian Moore or pre 2011 Godin with RMC Piezo) set GKC-AD Sensitivity GAIN to lowest value (1) , prior to adjusting GK STRING SENSITIVITY

Thanks @Elantric

In this case I was actually referring to the magnetic signal. I wonder if that gain setting affects the magnetic setting output. I wouldn't think so but I'll check it out.

GAIN impacts all guitars with a 13 pin cable : GK-2A, GK-3, GK-KIT-GT3, GC-1 Strat, GODIN 13 PIN,

Yes but in my test it does not impact the output volume of the normal (magnetic) pickups. I think the signal from the AD converter for the normal guitar signal is hotter than the normal output from the GR55

I never used the GR-55's guitar out.

I just did a different test - first I played from the GKC-AD guitar out to a regular guitar amp, clean channel.  Then I unplugged the guitar cable from the GKC-AD and plugged it directly into the guitar's mag output.  The GKC-AD path has a brighter, thinner tone than the direct path, though I didn't notice a volume difference.

Interesting. I used the GR55 guitar out only because it enabled ways to mute the normal guitar sound when using expression pedals or cal switch for certain songs. I hear a difference but can be addressed by modifying the input volume elsewhere
