Re: GI-20 and 13 pin noise!

["Dennis Moser" <sinsofmachaut@gmail.com>]

Interesting...I just got a Godin XTSA and am using it with a Roland GR-1. I have found that I DO get noise from the PIEZOS when plugging in if I haven't turned the pre-amp down first. 

Have you considered that?

Otherwise, I love this guitar. I run the piezo line through a Lexicon Vortex and then through a Lexicon 110 set up to give an octave and reverb. The electric signal goes through two Vortexes and a Lexicon 200 set up with reverse delays on both channels. Both lines then go out through their own Boss GigaDelays to the mix and the amp...12-string goodness, sweet electrics when I use the Ebow with it. I'm a happy camper these days. Just need to find more time to play it!

Mark,

Try having the 13 pin cable already plugged into the GI-20 and having it connected to the rest of the rig as previously described. Then, plug the 13 pin cable into the Godin LGXT and try playing. I know this doesn't sound like much of a change in the order of things. But I play the same guitar through a GR-33 and I've always done it this way and never had a noise problem. There's been a slight compression problem when taking the signal from the GR-33 into the amp. But that might be another kettle of fish. Also, try checking the 13 pin connection at the guitar and making sure that it is "locking" in securely. One of my LGXT's has had this problem from day one.

Tell us how it works.
