Trusted Customer11th Nov 2023

If you want to use your older GK guitars with the new GK serial interface for the GM-800, you don’t have many options, but it’s well built and does the job. Only four stars because the unit should also have had a 13 pin through in the same way as the GKC-DA has a serial through. This means yet another box on my crowded pedalboard. And it’s a bit pricey.
