GR-30 plays itself   Message List

Re: [GR-30] Re: GR-30 plays itself

I don't know, I'm thinkin' maybe we're on the wrong track here. A guitar
synth that plays itself, I mean, could there be some entertainment value in
that? A YouTube video maybe?

Can you make it say, "Don't taze me bro!" or "Leave Britney alone!"

mine was stolen (why didn't they take the whole gr-30?!)and payed about €
20,- for an original one. They r cheaper if u get one with the same specs -
but make sure they are WELL stbilized!

I recently purchased a used Gr-30. It seemed to work fine for a couple weeks but now, unless I let it "warm-up" after power on for 5-10 mins, playing any... 		wstagner

The random triggering you describe could be due to nothing more than a bad connection. If it doesn't happen when you plug your guitar into another GR, check...

Thanks, Cliff. Been there, done that. Fails very consistently regardless of what's plugged into it. It worked fine for first few days after I purchased it. ...

That is very weird. The GR is a solid state device. The term "warm up" does not apply. I don't get it. CL ... From: wstagner To: GR-30@yahoogroups.com Sent:...

Hi, Ralf...I'm also in the audio biz, so I'm well aware that there is no solid state warm up. The pickup is brand new. I've tried the guitar w/pickup...

If what you say is true, then when I use my guitar and cable with a gr20, it should do the same thing....but it doesn't. Works fine....
