First things first, download the manual. All you need to do to apply FX is select the channel, activate the FXA or FXB button, use the screen to select the internal effect. Prev-Next to navigate menus. Press the page down button to get into the effect bank. Press recal to load the effect and get to effect parameters. Press FX button to see it has changed. Use FatChannel knob to adjust amount of send to effects buss. The 16.4.2 has a bit different control layout, but you MUST download and read the manual. I have an entire playlist you can watch to help get started, most if not all applie to your mixer as well. One set of knobs adjust to become what you need using the buttons for AB FX sends, EQs, Aux sends. Hope I didnt leave anything out. Good Luck with your new toy!

@@TheGospelGuitarist Thanks so much for the videos and responding to my question, you rock :)

That is a Zoom Q8.

@@TheGospelGuitarist Thank you!

Zoom has a new version which actually has good video now. Ofcourse, they only did that because I already bought this one. Why do companies always do this to me?

Awesome, thank you!

Wired using same 250k pots puts them in the P90 area of tone to me. I’m going to switch to 500k and see how they do then. Not bad at all on the 250 though.

I don't think Marshall makes a dual recto amp. You would need solid state and tube rectofiers and I have never seen a Marshall with that setup. Mesa is kind of famous for that piece of old tech still included on thier amps. Help? Never turn it on without a speaker cab plugged into it. Volume off, dials at noon, then turn it on. Dial in the way you like it. Start with a clean tone and then build the dirty tone. Add other toys for flavor. Have fun!

@@TheGospelGuitarist Hey man thanks for the advice! I'll make sure to make note of that. It's a Mesa Dual Rectifier but I have a Marshall cabinet. I might just go out and get the Mesa cabinet as well. I've been trying to get everything done right so I appreciate your help.

Oh I get it. Miss read that as going into a Marshall head. Is it an old yeller like mine or a new one? One thing I like is the clean tone is as good as the dirty. Great amps. Enjoy it!

That is some good information. I didn't know that. Thanks so much for posting and I hope people head this warning. Sorry you had to go through that.

Thanks!

I would use the stereo synth out because the guitar processing can also use that output so you can loop guitar and synth parts..never used a looper with it but I'd try that first.

@@TheGospelGuitarist Good try but where is that stereo synth out? Not at the back of the unit anyhow. Do you think I need to change the parameters to make it work? I was going for a simple plug in\out with a 1\4 cable. I have try all kinds of set up but it's still not working and nobody seems to have try it either on youtube because as there already is a looper in the GR-55, no one seems to see how useful it could be for doing ambience music for example.

Output L(mono)/R is the main output on the unit. I don't have it anymore. If you don't have the manual you can find it online. I suppose the looper is a mono input? so use the L(mono) output.

Thank you.

Same way as usual. They come with instructions too.

@@TheGospelGuitarist awrsome . I'm pretty new to wiring guitars so that's good it has a manual for them

The custom wiring is done at the ring, only a hot and ground go to the pot, easy peasy!

Yes, but remember these are monitors with very flat response for mixing.

Godin is ready to go, just need the 13 pin cable. This is the GK-3 midi pickup and can be added to any guitar.

You can play the GR-55 through any amp but best through a clean non-tube amp. Like a Roland Jazz Chorus or acoustic amp. Manual is online if you don't have it. Just do a search, you'll need it.

Glad to hear that! Please subscribe and I have a playlist to help learn the GR-55.

Thanks

Yep, one big chamber.

You need the manual which goes over a ton of settings to get the pickup to respond and play the way you want it to. There are too many settings to cover here. If you don't have it, you can find it online with a simple search for it. There are many factors at play. If you purchased it used you should do a factory reset first. I've never had latency issues. It tracked very fast when I owned mine. There isn't a quick fix to get it setup the way you want. Basically, you are the only person who knows what you want it to do according to your playing style and feel and the guitar. Thanks for subscribing, I hope you get it setup. Cheers!

​@@TheGospelGuitarist sir I already bought Roland gr55 with Gk3 but latency problem specially while playing flute saxophone violin piano etc fast notes the sounds cut out. Thankyou for kind reply

Unfortunately, you would not be the first to receive a faulty GK-3. Lots of people have problem with that pickup, me included. The wiring is so small they crap out all the time. Do you know anyone who has a GR55 you can compare pickups with. Do the other tones work ok? Like the guitar section. You may have the sensitivity set too low or not playing hard enough or the pickup needs to be closer to the strings. Explore the settings if it all works but has long latency. I sold me off a long time ago, more fiddling than playing. I would grab another one since so many people have issues I could look deeper into to help. I do have the manual still as a reference. Hope you can figure it out, Roland may be helpful if you give them a call. If it all works, there is probably a setting somewhere you missed. Best wishes!

Ooh sir thankyou for helping us

I can confirm the 2mm thick and 4mm tall with my small ruler. So I'd say the 3mm wide is good too. Please hit the subscribe button to help me out too. Thanks.

@@TheGospelGuitarist Perfect, thanks!

Everyone has their favorites. This setup in the video allows way faster adjustments with no menus! Not to mention different effects by a bunch of other companies' products. Hit the subscribe button to help me out. Thanks!

Cheers. I've subscribed

I ran my half stack alongside an acoustic guitar amp for the synth. But if I didn't have the stack I would probably run both the guitar modeling and the synth through an acoustic amp. Acoustic amps just sound better to me than a clean amp. I have a JC-120 which sounds good too. But favored the response of the acoustic amp to recreate acoustic instruments. Please slam that subscribe button for me, thanks!

Thanks for your thoughts. I did wonder about an acoustic amp. I've hit the Subscribe button :)

Glad it helped Do me a favor and hit that subscribe button. Love happy endings!

Glad it helped!

Go into GK setting and adjust the levels of the pickups in the GK3 .

​@@TheGospelGuitaristthankyou sir

Plug the sub into the mono output of the mixer, that is one of the things it can be used for unless you are running a mono mix somewhere. No need to use up an Aux send. But you can send the channels to Aux 4 let's say, and run the output of Aux 4 for to a powered sub or a power amp with sub. Use each channels send 4 to set level and the master send 4 to set level to the sub(s). The same way you would set up a monitor mix on say Aux 1 for monitors or in ears. You are just sending different levels to a sub. Don't forget to subcribe! Thanks, hope that helps.

I clicked it and got a not found message on eBay. But today 4-3-24, Level3 servers are down world wide. A lot of links aren't working. I can't load games from two of my game sites ect...I will check the link again in a few days and if still dead I will remove the link. Thanks for letting me know. You can search for them and see what comes up.

@@TheGospelGuitarist I tried but don't know what to look for. Thanks

Never had that happen on any of my guitars of various brands. Don't know why that would happen. I have had cheaper and expensive guitars, no issues.

Product was bought from a bricks and stone certified Nomad music retailer so I must assume it is not cheap knock off. There are reports by others that this stuff can be savage. Wouldnt let it within a long mile of any of my instruments ever again.

@@freelancer8822 not heard any reports. What guitars did it have this reaction on?

@@TheGospelGuitarist I used it on a Fender Jazz bass. Wiped the control plate and neck plate with it. It came up a nice glossy polished finish but within days both became corroded and pitted. I tried re-doing it with various other cleaners to no avail and had to replace the parts at significant cost. Ive seen at least one other YT post where the guy complained it took the gold coating off his pickups. Not good at all!

@@freelancer8822 Sorry you had that experience. Did you contact the manufacturer?

Yeah, I noticed some use the markers idea. I made a little project out of it, cheap.

You need a MIDI interface. Just pick up a MIDI USB cable at the music store. Connect to the MIDI connections on the back of the GX700. Good to go! Please hit the Subscribe button for me, it''s a great help. Thanks!

@@TheGospelGuitarist got my usb to midi, now its saying no drivers. Oh well, guess its more troubleshooting for me

Windows may need to find drivers for the MIDI. The Boss does not require any drivers.

@@TheGospelGuitarist Got that working now my boss is stuck in an endless loop of resetting itself. What a fun time! Thanks for the help and pointing in right direction, probably will try again once I get this fixed.

You may want to do a factory reset. Press the tuner/utility button, the press the parameter buttons under the wheel until you see it change to "Fact Init [write]. Just press the parameter jog wheel to reset the whole machine.

That's awesome!

Yes, the Aux 1,2 controls in the effects section can send out say Aux 1 to a pair of stage monitors. Please hit the subscribe button to help me get to 8000. Thanks.

Well thank you. I am glad to help. I have a whole play list on the 1602 to help get you going. Don’t forget to subscribe and like! I hope you got the usb version. The FireWire is picky as to which chip is on the FireWire cards.

Thanks for subscribing it is appreciated!

Awesome! Thank you!

What people are missing is that these old boards have their own sound. There are no amp models/speaker models. My Digitech sounds totally different from the Boss and would from your Vox which hold their own too. ADA rack gear has sound of it's own as does Rockman, Boss, Digitech, and Korg to name a few. It was an exciting time. I should pick up that Tonelab sometime. Thanks for posting.

You're welcome! Do me a favor and hit my sub button, much appreciated.

Guitar - > pedal (s) -> DI from there go to the amp in as normal and run XLR Mic cable output to the mixer.

Just released a new video based on your question. You are not the first to ask. Cheers!

I have mine reworked for 7 positions now and it utilizes the bridge pick too. Turns on in p4-5.

Taller posts for the lower strings and you don’t need string trees because the shorter post changes the break angle at the nut keeping the string from jumping out.

@@TheGospelGuitarist Thank you and I looked over you content real quick last night and you definitely got another subscriber here! Keep up the good work sir!

Thank you I will! Thanks for subscribing!

Worked out perfect. Now my tele has a reverse stock! So cool. Hay its the little things in life! Next, Im going to tackle that EQ post... tomorrow night. You think 31eq is too much for a guitar?

@HereXEG yes, but not unheard of. I use a 10 band MXR in my Mesa’s fx loop.

You forgot to tell me how wrong I am about how to check the height! Yes, I would cut a nut doing the same way you have. I am just following the book on how to do setups. Most people like to complain about that. But that's the net right. My eyesight at 62 is starting at weird. I can only see close now when I remove my glasses, WTF? LOL! All we need is to hear the tiny tap sound and it's good. Thanks for commenting!

Hello Sir....my bad...I do appreciate you and anyone who takes the time to make a video for others. Your video is likely how it should be done. I was more saying that trying to see if a feeler gauge is touching the G, B or E string or any string for that matter is nearly impossible, accurately. But hey if you can get an accurate reading from any string then all power to you. I found that the tap method to be superior in achieving a perfect cut. Listening for a ping sound and your there. I'm 52 and new to guitar building so I'm learning lots from everyone including you. Cheers

All I want to do is help from all my past experience. The tap method is the way to go. If you can get the nut right it makes all the difference in playability, My Strat has a nut I cut and plays incredibly low. I thank you for your comments. I hope you continue your building journey. God bless!
