But if you're also building a guitar at the same time and you're unsure of what you're doing? Don't bother! It's true that the GK-3 Kit includes everything you might need, but the instructions are at best pretty terrible and there is no way that someone without experience would easily complete the installation. What are Roland Boss thinking of? There are countless issues as I show this installation - and even I stopped recording the installation as it all became harder and harder to complete. But I do show you most of the installation and I do offer many tips throughout the video so that you might persevere with the Roland GK-3 Kit install yourself. WARNING: Whatever you do, if you're not completely confident about this install and have an expensive guitar then DON'T DO IT! I purchased the GK-3 with my own money and the review is entirely financed by me for your pleasure. The review actually does show you some of the work and the pain and in my opinion shows a good representation of what you get and how hard it can be to complete. NOTE: I Used (for the guitar part played) a Marshall SC-20 in to a 1 x 12 cab and microphone AKG in to the desk for that playing. The MIDI control functions were from synth to desk but are not created to show playing as such but more of the controls available on the guitar. I have spent considerable time creating this video entirely at my own expense.
