About BOSS® Guitar and Bass Synthesizers Compatible Devices
To connect to and play on a guitar/bass synthesizer, please purchase the following separately sold equipment.
① Guitar and bass synthesizer main unit
BOSS® GM-800 （Guitar and bass synthesizer supporting digital serial type）
②BOSS® Digital and serial GK cables
BGK-15 (3m)、BGK-30 (9m)
※By connecting a BOSS® GK Converter GKC-DA（Sold separately）you can also use a 13-pin analog BOSS®︎ Guitar and bass synthesizer.
Three outputs including a synth X guitar mix
You can easily switch among three different options: Guitar synthesizer only, a mix of guitar synthesizer and magnet PU, or magnet PU alone. If you connect the output jacks for guitar and bass directly to an amplifier, the magnetic PU alone will operate without the synthesizer, allowing you to use it as a normal guitar or bass. You can use standard shielded cables for the guitar and bass jacks.
The product lineup includes a total of four models, including both guitars & basses!
Four representative models of the Bacchus Global series, BSH, TACTICS24, WL4, and WL5, were chosen to be equipped with the GK-5 pickup. Including color variations, there are 11 models in the lineup.
