they will be saved even when the power is turned off. You do
not need to redo these settings each time you play.

Adjusting the pickup sensitivity
for each string
Adjust the pickup sensitivity for each string according to
how the GK-2A/GK-3 divided pickup was installed.
If you will be using two or more guitars to play the VG-88,
you must adjust the sensitivity for the divided pickup of each
guitar. For each guitar, turn off the power of the VG-88,
connect the guitar, and perform the following procedure.
Settings for up to five guitars can be entered and stored.

7. Turn [VALUE] to adjust the sensitivity.
Set the sensitivity as high as possible without allowing
the large level indicator at the far right to appear when
you play the loudest/hardest note that you will play in
actual performance.
* If the large level indicator at the far right appears, the
maximum level has been exceeded and you must lower the
sensitivity.
* Depending on the guitar that you use, the level indicator may
reach the maximum even if you set sensitivity to the minimum
setting. If this occurs, increase the distance between the GK-
2A/GK-3 divided pickup and the string so that it is greater
than specified.
8. In the same way, adjust the sensitivity of Strings 5–1.
9. Next, play Strings 6–1 as softly as possible. If any string
produces a particularly loud sound, lower the sensitivity
for that string in order to minimize volume differences
between strings.
10.When you have finished setting the sensitivity of all of
the strings, press [EXIT].
You will return to Play page.
* These settings are required when you newly install a divided
pickup on your guitar, or after you have adjusted the height of
a divided pickup. Once you have made the correct settings,
