The Cable Dedicated to Modern Serial GK Setups
The Boss BGK-3 (1 m) is designed to fully exploit the potential of BOSS systems equipped with the Serial GK interface, a digital protocol engineered for fast performance and ultra-stable response. Connection is made via 6.35mm TRS jack connectors (straight), replacing the older 13-pin interface: this provides simpler cabling integration into a pedalboard or rack while maintaining reliable transmission. Ideal for connecting a GK-5/GK-5B pickup to a GM-800 or VG-800 module, this cable emphasizes durability, signal clarity, and practicality both on stage and in the studio.
