Re: OT? Driving a VG unit and guitar synth
That is the breakout box that I bought last year. It works great to
split up the strings and process them individualy but for some reason
doesn't seem to be compatable with the roland us-20. I get the signal
through the us-20 but it continues no mater what pedal I press.
