Expand Your Creative Range with a BOSS Divided Pickup

The GK-5 Divided Pickup is a specialized guitar pickup that drives the powerful synthesis and instrument modeling technologies in select BOSS gear. Unlike standard guitar pickups—which send all string signals to a combined output—the GK-5 senses each string individually, sending their signals to separate outputs within the Serial GK system. This isolated string information allows your compatible BOSS product to perform all sorts of advanced processing feats not possible with standard pickups.

About the Next-Generation Serial GK System

Serial GK is a new digital instrument interface developed for the latest generation of BOSS synthesizer and V-Guitar products for guitar and bass. It features a secure, space-saving connection that offers a lower profile than the previous 13-pin GK interface. BOSS BGK series cables are specially designed for optimum performance with the Serial GK system, and they’re more durable and easier to handle than 13-pin analog cables.
