1. Guitar Synth Input: Input for 13-pin
style GK-Series guitar cable.
2. Bright Switch: This filter switch is for the
built-in hex fuzz. With the switch in the
down position, the RC-1324 outputs a hex
fuzz tone similar to that found on the
Roland G-303/G-808 guitar. With the switch
in the up position, a brighter, more
aggressive tone is produced.
3. FUZZ Knob: This knob adjusts the
output of the hex fuzz circuit by a total of 10
dB. In the fully clockwise position, the hex
fuzz output is approximately the same level
as on the G-303/G-808 guitar.
4. FILTER Knob: Generally, this knob
controls the filter cutoff on the Roland GR-
100, GR-300, and GR-700. With the
Roland GM-70 and Ibanez MC-1, this knob
can be assigned various functions.
5. RESONANCE Knob: This knob
controls the filter resonance, or emphasis,
on the Roland GR-100 and GR-300. On the
Roland GR-700, this is the EDIT knob.
6. LFO Knob: This knob controls the LFO
or vibrato depth on the Roland GR-100,
GR-300, and GR-700. With the Roland GM-
70 and Ibanez MC-1, this knob can be
assigned various functions, though the
default value is modulation depth. With a
CV pedal plugged into the LFO Pedal
jack on the back of the RC-1324, the LFO
Knob works together with the pedal. The
front panel LFO Knob always controls the
maximum amount of LFO depth. For
example, with the front panel control at
50%, or in the 12 o’clock position, the
maximum LFO depth will be 50%. Plugging
a pedal into the rear LFO jack and pressing
the pedal all the way to the floor will still only
result in a maximum LFO depth of 50%.
7. Balance Knob: This knob controls the
balance between the Synthesizer output
and the Guitar output. By turning the knob
in a clockwise direction, the output will
blend from 100% guitar to 100%
synthesizer. The 12 o’clock position will
result in an approximate 50/50 blend of
guitar and synthesizer. The knob in a fully
clockwise position results in a synthesizer
only output. To use this feature, it is
important to turn the guitar volume knob to
maximum. If you are using a GK-1, GK-2 or
GK-3 equipped guitar, be sure to have the
guitar plugged into the GK controller
module, and turn the regular guitar volume
to maximum. If no guitar is plugged into the
GK module, or if the volume is turned down
on the guitar, the Balance Knob will
simply work like a regular volume knob.
IF
YOUR GUITAR HAS A
GTR/GTR+SYNTH/SYNTH SWITCH,
SET THE POSITION TO “GTR+SYNTH”
8. MODE Switch: This switch reproduces
the function of the MODE Switch. Like
the MODE Switch on a vintage guitar,
Mode Iis selected when the switch is in
the down position. Mode II is selected
when the switch is in the middle position,
and Mode III is selected when the switch
is in the up position.
9. Blue Power LED: LED indicates power
is present from the guitar synthesizer.
10. String Level Adjustment Knob: Use
these knobs to adjust the output level of
each string. Start with the red knobs in the
50%, or 12-o’clock position, and play each
string and adjust for sensitivity. Each
Roland synthesizer responds differently to
string level. Some synthesizers will have
trouble tracking a string with the output
turned up too high.
