Chapter 2 Selecting and Playing Sounds (Patches)
3. Use [VALUE] to select “Patch Select.”
Patch Select:
You can continuously switch patches with [S1] and [S2]
on the GK-2A.
Normal:
Normal status. You cannot switch patches on the GK-2A.
4. Press [PLAY] to return to Play mode.
5. Pressing the GK-2A [UP/S2] once brings you to the next
higher patch; by holding the switch down, you can
switch continuously. Furthermore, when the other
button (here the [DOWN/S1] button) is then also
pressed, the switching occurs even faster. Pressing the
[S1] and [S2] buttons in the reverse fashion will
similarly return you to previous patches.

Now, using the GK-2A buttons to switch patches, try playing
the guitar to listen to the patches in sequence.
Using the Base Module to Select
Patches
Selecting Patches Using the Pedal
You can select patches using the pedal only when “S1/S2
FUNCTION” is set to “Normal.”
For the “S1/S2 FUNCTION” settings, refer to p. 21.
To Use the Pedal for Calling Up Patches from the
Same Group or Bank
When playing live or in the studio, by using the pedal on the
base module, you can instantly select one of four patches
from the same group or bank.
1. Make sure that you are in the Play mode.
If you are not in the Play mode, press [PLAY].
2. When you press pedals 1 to 4, you can instantly select a
patch from the same bank of four patches in a group,
with the number at the right in the display changing to
show the number of the pedal currently pressed.

To Use the Pedal for Calling Up Patches from a
Different Group or Bank
Used together with the GK-2A’s [S1] button, you can use the
pedal function to switch patches.
1. Make sure that you are in the Play mode.
If you are not in the Play mode, press [PLAY].
2. While pressing [S1] on the GK-2A, step on [GROUP ]
(pedal 2).
Pedal 2 continues switching to the next group only while
[S1] is being held; pressing the pedal allows you to
progress to the next group.
* If you wish to change only the bank without changing the
group, omit step 2, and proceed to step 3.

<Using the Pedal>
With the GR-33 in the state just described, you can get
various pedal effects (explained later). For example hold,
pitch glide, and the like can be obtained, by stepping on
the base unit’s four pedals. (For details, see p. 28.) To
indicate this status, when “S1/S2 FUNCTION” is
selected in “Patch Select,” the “PdL” display appears
(approximately once every four seconds) in the three-
digit display, showing the patches and their
corresponding numbers.
fig.2-04
Additionally, with the unit in this status, an external
bank shift pedal can be used to change patch numbers,
both up and down, just like the [S1] and [S2] buttons on
the GK-2A.
