I'm thinning out my guitar collection an have a very nice Brian Moore i91.13 for sale. Bought it new and used in my studio, it's in excellent condition. ...
As long as the strings go anywhwere over the pole pieces (even the edge) it's ok according to the GK3 instructions. Try it with a single string before drilling...
The original VG 8 would show pickup changes in the screen - I miss that feature. It would be an easy enough software update I think. Also being able to advance...
I do not comment on this board, I like to monitor and get great help, but I am experiencing you're pain, and agree with you 100%. Out of the box this thing...
... Well, I don't think I'm the *one* person on the list happy with it, but I'll definitely say I'm happy. So much so that, after picking up the VG early in...
I don't understand this. As I mentioned before, piezos work well for me on the 99, both sound and gtr>midi. I also have an 8 and 88. I use Godin and Brian...
Udo, Can you tell me all the relevant settings you used for piezo please? And did you try the presets or generate your own patches? I ask because my piezo...
Fresh out of the box - The VG-99 comes configured to run into a guitar amp. If you plug Headphones in - it will sound aweful. First thing to do is Read the...
I just got my 99, and a couple of times when i power up, the d-beam and ribbon dont work. rebooting cures it. Anyone else had this? Do I have a faulty unit, or...

Still being sold, though at Sweetwater, Instrument Pro, and one or two other shops. NAMM is coming up... A new V-Bass model perhaps? Or is Roland planning a...
Mine is slightly offset on a made in mexico strat. I let the larger diameter strings suffer the most offset because they have more mass for the poles to sense....

Thanks for all the great posts. In case I'm misleading anyone (such as poster below) I'm referring to the majority of *piezo* posts who seem to have similar...
Hi Guys, Thanks for all the replies. I think it may be a fault, the noise is only on one of the channels. I'm going to contact Roland about it. Cheers Andy...
Has anyone figured out a way to group all 6 pitch controls together when changing pitch. It would be nice to be able to turn one knob and change all 6 strings ...
NOTE: The following applies to using piezos with the VG99. I've now spent another few hours with the VG99. As I suspected, I can get some really great sounds...
Everything worked without any tweaking (I used a vg-8 and 88 before). I have levels at about 25 (haven't even tried to find the optimum setting yet) and the...

I had a similar problem, in that ALL the controls did not work. Rebooting did not help, but unplugging the FC-300, then rebooting did the trick. But that could...
I/we need to do some back up before the first update comes...Anyone had any more ideas? Moonie - re your instructions below, I get as far as # 11...but what is...
On my screen, it's a little number, "01", which represents the first row of that screen, which in turn represents some Favorite settings. There can be only one...
Hi all. This is a request for anyone who might still have the circuit diagrams for the VG-8 modification that was offered in order to improve the sound quality...

Hi all, does anyone have any experience of using a GK-2/3 system on an acoustic guitar? I guess one option is to use electric strings, as I suppose that bronze...
