Dutchman Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hi Everybody, OK. just bought a BRAND NEW Gibson Dusk Tiger and I couldn't be more thrilled. I know there are a lot of haters out there who, Number 1) think the Dusk Tiger looks very ugly and Number 2) hate even the very idea of ROBOT guitars and auto-tuners. I say "GET OVER IT". It's a wonderpremisemiss and as a songwriter I find the alt tunings on the fly is indispensable and I LOVE it even even more. I'll mainly be using my for "home recording" and not out on tour. My question is this. I see that the DT comes with a 13 pin cable. Does that mean that it's midi ready and all I have to do is plug it up and I'll be able to play a ROLAND GR-55? So with this 13-pin cable does that mean I can go straight into the GR-55 and that I don't need the GK-3 Pickup? Does it also mean that I can use this guitar with other Midi-related instruments or equipment. Thanks so much for any information you can give me.

You should have an 8 pin to 13 pin cable which goes from the RIP to a GR55/VG99 etc. Plug and play!! No need for GK pickup. Then midi out of GR55/VG99 to your other Midi-related instruments or equipment. Here's the lowdown..... http://www.futureguitarnow.com/forum/index.php?action=forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenor7 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Hi Guys, I have a Dusk Tiger and am about to buy a Roland GR-55. I note on the manual for the GR-55 that you are meant to tell it what kind of pickup the guitar has: GK-3 Choose this if you’re using a GK-3. GK-2A Choose this if you’re using a GK-2A. PIEZO This setting is appropriate if you’re using a piezo pickup that has a flat response. PIEZO F This setting is appropriate for a Fishman piezo pickup. PIEZO G This setting is appropriate for a Graph Tech piezo pickup. PIEZO L This setting is appropriate for an L.R. Baggs piezo pickup. PIEZO R This setting is appropriate for an RMC piezo pickup. Does anyone know which of the above to choose? Is it just "PIEZO"? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Exactly. Chose the Piezo setting and you'll be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
