GKFX-21 Subsonic Filter

INTRODUCTION

The GKFX-21 is to be connected between a 13-pin guitar and a synth unit. The synth

unit provides power to the GKFX-21.

Make sure to connect the guitar to IN and the synth unit to OUT, otherwise either

unit may be damaged. Do not turn on power until all connections are made.

This pedal combines six analog subsonic filters with an additional input jack, mix

output jack and S1/S2 control jack (stereo connector for FS- or FS-7 dual foot

switch).

HEX FILTER

The GKMX-21 contain specially designed hex high-pass filters to improve PCM/COSM

tracking and ghost note immunity as well as lowering noise when palm muting. Most

noted effect on GR-55 and VG-99 when using Piezo 13-pin guitars.

This filter is not intended for bass or other instruments than guitar.

The filters are analog and introduce no additional latency. This unit has the same

characteristics as other Piezo filters on the market. Every unit is carefully hand-built,

tested and measured.

The Subsonic Filter consists of six filters (one for each string), eliminating rumble and

low frequency noise. The High-Pass filters remove frequencies below:

50Hz (string E and A),

75Hz (string D and G)

100Hz (string B and High E)

13-PIN CONNECTORS

The 13-pin connectors are soldered to a printed circuit board. Please do not use

more force or violence than required.

Connect the Guitar to the connector marked “IN” and a Guitar Synth to the output

marked “OUT”. Do not turn on power until all connections are made.

The current consumption is abt. 50 mA (25 mA from the +7V and 25mA from the -7V

rail provided by synth unit)

GTR IN JAC

The GTR IN jack allows you to connect any audio source and mix it with the pin 7 (GK

GTR) signal. The audio source may be a second regular guitar or signal from

secondary pickups on your instrument. You may also consider using the two-cable

method and use a high quality guitar cable connected to your regular 1/4” guitar jack

for richer harmonics (the regular pickup signal (pin 7) through a GK cable is known to

damp higher frequencies).

If a regular guitar is connected only effects not related to hex processing can be used

in the synth unit.

VOLUME CONTROLS

The unit has two potentiometers to control:

A) The volume of the GK pin7 regular guitar signal (marked GK GTR)

B) The volume of the signal from the GTR IN jack (marked JACK)

When the pots are in the minimum position (anti-clockwise) no sound will be

reproduced. In the mid position the gain is x1 (+0dB) and if set to max position the

gain is x2 (+ dB). Each input has an active input stage.

The mix of these two inputs is sent to pin 7 of the output GK connector (the

dedicated pin for regular pickups).

MIX OUT JAC

The jack marked “MIX OUT” allows you to “hi-jack” the mix of GK GTR and JACK input

signal. Connect this jack to a guitar amplifier or other high impedance device for high

quality sound un-polluted by digital signal processors.

S1/S2 JAC

The jack marked S1/S2 allows you to connect a Roland FS- or FS-7 compatible dual

footswitch to control the S1 and S2 commands to the synth unit. Here you must use

a stereo cable. The stereo jack has three connections:

TIP: When momentarily connected to ground (Sleeve) this corresponds to a S2

command (GK connector pin 11).

RING: When momentarily connected to ground (Sleeve) this corresponds to a S1

command (GK connector pin 10).

SLEEVE: Ground
