Hi Everyone,
Is it possible to send, not only the hex output from the piezo pickup but also the output of the magnetic pickups of a Dusk Tiger to a Roland GR-55 using the RIP and Gibson's 8pin to 13pin cable?
I've had my Dusk Tiger for some years now (use it often and love it) and finally bought a GR-55 yesterday. I hooked up my Dusk Tiger to it going via a stereo phono cable to the RIP and then converter cable from the hex output on the back of the RIP to the 13 pin socket on the GR-55. I can trigger the synth sounds on the GR-55 but don't seem to have the option of mixing in the output from the magnetic pickups like you can with the Roland GK-3 pickup that connects to the GR-55 with a 13 pin connector at each end of the cable. Am I missing a setting on the RIP or is it because there aren't enough output pins on the RIP to send the magnetic pickups output to the GR-55? (an oversight on Gibson's part if that's the case.) I've turned on the setting in the GR-55 that mixes in the guitar but that had no effect.
Thanks in advance.
Why so much love for the Vintage L6-S?

Hi Larry.
Your guitar was made in the same year as my L6-S: 1976 (the 00 at the front of the number means 1976). That's according to Gibson's web site. Mine is a tobacco burst with a rosewood fingerboard. I took it to my local luthier for a service a year or two ago. As I walked into the shop carrying the guitar in its case, the owner said to me, "An old Maton?" "No," I replied. "An old Gibson." "Even better." He responded. Then when I opened the case to reveal the L6-S he then said, "Gibson's most under-rated guitar." I bought mine new in '76 and it served me well for many years as my only electric guitar. Not that it is anymore, nor is it my only Gibson now.
