Guitar out has no sound

Guitar is connected to the GR33 using the unit's cable connected to the pickup installed on an Ovation Legend. The mono out on the back of the unit delivering the synth sounds to a mixer works fine, but the Guitar Out on the back of the unit produces no sound, no matter what I connect it to.

You must connect a short jack cable between the GK2 or GK3 and you normal guitar jack out. Secondly, the switch on the GK should be in the middle, that will give synth & dry guitar simultaneously.

SOURCE: ROLAND GR30 POWERS UP BUT DOES NOT MAKE A SOUND

Make sure you use the ORIGINAL AC adapter with the unit. It takes a 9VAC one.

The adapter for the GR09 will NOT work and will act the way your unit is acting.

Crackling through amp occasionally

There are only a few things that could be responsible for your problem. Dirty volume knob on guitar or amp. Faulty ground on all affected parts; including cables. I suggest you plug into a different amp with a new chord, and see if the problem still exists. This way you can quickly eliminate compnents & focus on the actua lproblematic one. If it still exists..you can assume it'sin the pick-up.

The amp does not work at all even though the lights on the amp come on but when i connect it to the guitar no sound whatsoevva i checked the sound nobs on the guitar and the amp n all r ok but no soun

Have you checked a different cable?. Also, when you plug in the unit, there should be a "pop" if everything is turned on. If there isn't, the connection is bad someplace.

I have an Ovation Celebrity Koa with the OP-30 system in it. When I plug it in, I don't always get sound. I changed the battery, and have a new patch cord. Can someone help me?

where the socket is for the cord to be plugged in, often the ground will come loose or break on the socket connection, you will need to take off the plate that conceals the electronics of the guitar and see if any wires have become damaged , this happens a lot when your using a patch cord with a 90 degree end going into the guitar , it puts added pressure on a already touchy socket.

Getting hum through the speaker but when i put my hand on the jack socket it stops

If you are in the US, take a length of light-gauge wire (AWG 20-24) attach it to the center screw that keeps the cover on over the standard dual AC receptacle and to a screw on the back of your unit. This kind of problem often is caused by a poor grounding of the cover or chassis.

Hello! I've bought a Fender Rumble 75 about 3 months ago and it sounded great really but after some loud playing (About 75% of max volume) it started to buzz at midrange notes, and its gets worse as time...

Try plugging another sound source into the unit. The buzz MAY be pickup of magnetic fields in your guitar pickup that clobber your notes from the strings. Bad guitar cables are another possibility. By putting clean music from say a CD player into the unit you can find where the source is. If the CD player generates the same noises, then likely you have a failure of filter caps in the amp or other component failures. Also make sure your guitar can't "hear" the amp as feedback can do strange things.

My s5470 does not sustain well at all.also,the bridge pickup sounds ok but lacks ''attack'' in upper register.great guitar otherwise.i use a peavy 5150 60watt amp.

I personally use Seymour Duncan Humbucker pickups, and have never been disappointed. You might want to take your guitar up to a music shop and try it on different amps to see if your amp is your problem, or if it is your guitar's pickups or wiring. You could also try adjusting the height of the pickups until the sound you are looking for is achieved. I have also had guitar cables make a big difference in the sound. Make sure you have a good set of cables, and you may want to adjust the EQ settings of your amp to make up what the guitar lacks.

Hi, I have an RBX 374 and I cannot get any sound from it. I have got the wiring scheme but the wiring looks O.K. Some say it might be the pre-amp. Does anyone know what could be the problem...

i dont' see where this model has active pickups (guessing this is what you mean by pre-ampped).
The issue can be in a few places.

1) the strings could be too far from the pickups and the instrument needs to be tuned.
2) the pickups are bad
3) your jack is bad
4) the cable is bad
5) your equilizers are not corrected
6) your volume control is turned down or damaged
7) your amp is damaged

this is a small list of the basic possibilities.

I my gr 20 is only picking up e a d g b and not the last string ,is there any way i can test it to find the fault please thnk you

If you want help from Roland you will have to register:http://www.rolandus.com/backstage/login.php That will get you access to full support and their email address. I think you are having problems with your GK-3 pickup. Make sure your string that you are having problems with is the optimal height etc. The adjustment for the GR-20 is in the manual at this link:http://www.roland.co.uk/assets/media/pdf/GR_20_Q_A.pdf Make sure your pickup is installed correctly and adjusted properly first. The manual is here:http://lib.roland.co.jp/support/en/manuals/res/1811530/GK-3_e11.pdf If you have everything adjusted and only one string is not working then I would guess you have a cable problem and the best thing is to contact Roland for advice. I didn't walk you through the adjustment because every installation for every guitar is different. Hope this helps.

Just got my fender 63 reverb reissue unit...and when i switch it on all i get is a loud buzzing hum type sound .

If you unplug the guitar cable and STILL get the hum, the unit has a defect... return under warranty.

If the hum goes away when you unplug the cable, replace the cable and see if new cable fixes the problem. If it does, the cable has a bad shield.

If the cable didn't cure it, then the guitar has a defect. Remember that some guitar pickups are sensitive to the magnetic fields from the amps... only cure is to either use humbucker types or be a distance away from the amp.
