Troubleshooting
During Normal Play with Just the
GR-33
No synth sounds are heard when the
guitar is played
● If the unit’s volume knob turned down too low?
→ Adjust the volume to an appropriate level.
● Is the volume on the GK-2A turned down too low? Is
the GK-2A’s selector switch set to GUITAR?
→ Set the switch to SYNTH or MIX, and adjust the volume
to an appropriate level.
● Has the expression pedal assigned with the Volume
function been returned to its raised position?
→ Depress the expression pedal.
● Has neither the first nor second tone been selected for
the Layer setting?
→ Assign the first (or second) tone to each of the strings (p.
51).
● Is the “PATCH LEVEL” setting too low?
→ Adjust the volume to an appropriate level (p. 38).
The pitch stays the same even when
the Master Tune setting is changed.
● The only sounds that immediately change in pitch
when the GR-33’s Master Tune setting is changed are
synth sounds controlled by an external MIDI
instrument. Except when the patch “CHROMATIC”
setting is set to a value from “Type1” to “Type3,” synth
sounds controlled by the guitar follow the guitar’s
actual pitch, regardless of the Master Tune setting.
→ After making the Master Tune setting (p. 18), use the
built-in tuner to retune the guitar (p. 18) and ensure that
all pitches (including the guitar) are in tune.
The Layer setting is correct, but one
tone is not heard
● Is “1:2 BALANCE” (p. 52) set too much to the first tone
or the second tone?
→ Adjust the setting to obtain a suitable balance.
● Has the expression pedal assigned with tone balance
been depressed (or returned to its raised position)?
→ Try operating the expression pedal.
The volume fluctuates from one string
to another
● Are the “PICKUP SENS” settings correct for each
string?
→ Adjust the settings as required (p. 17).
Pitch doesn’t rise when using Pitch Glide
(or the expression pedal Pitch function)
● Functions that vary pitch continuously may experience
a limited range of change during rising pitch due to the
tone or register.
→ If a limitation is encountered, use with a narrower width
of change (p. 44).
The sound change produced by an
expression pedal varies from one tone
to another
● For some of the 384 tones, the way the effect is applied
varies subtly from the usual case when the Brightness
or Wah-Wah function is assigned.
→ Actually assign the function and check in advance how
the effect is applied (p. 47).
The way modulation is applied varies
from one tone to another when using
the unit’s pedal effect or expression
pedals
● Each tone has an independent setting for the speed of
undulations in pitch when using modulation.
→ Check the undulations in advance and choose a tone
with an undulation speed that matches the song.
● The “Modulation” setting for the pedal effect (WAH)
also has an independent setting in effect (undulation)
depth for each tone.
→ Check the depth of the effect choose a tone with a depth
that matches the song.
One tone is not heard when the
expression pedal is used to change
the tone’s volume balance
● Is the TONE “LAYER” setting set so that only the first
or the second tone (but not both) is played?
→ Change the setting so that the first and second tones are
both played (p. 51).
