IMPORTANT NOTES  
• The DC-13 does not pass the output from  
the guitar’s standard pickups to the 13-pin  
synthesizer(s). To access the output from  
the guitar’s pickups, use either the 1/4”  
standard output jack on the guitar, or use  
the direct Guitar Line Output on the DC-  
13.

you want to vary the volume of the guitar  
using the volume control on the guitar,  
use the direct guitar output on the body  
of the guitar itself. This is a standard 1/4”  
jack usually found next to the 24-pin  
connector on a G-series guitar.  
generated by the internal hex fuzz  
circuitry inside a Roland G-202, G-303, G-  
505, or G-808 guitar. Because this is a line  
level signal, and because this is a  
distorted signal, the output level is very  
high. Like the Guitar Line Output, the Hex  
Fuzz output does not respond to  
changes in volume using the guitar’s  
master volume knob.

SWITCH FUNCTIONS  
The DC-13 changes some the functions of  
vintage G-Series controllers to match new, 13-pin  
functions.  
[When using a G-Series Guitar]  
G-202, 303, 505, 808  
• Master Volume knob is now for Guitar  
Volume only. This knob changes the  
volume of the Guitar when a cable is  
hooked to the standard 1/4” output jack  
on the guitar.  
• Guitar Tone Knob controls the tone of  
the guitar’s normal sound.  
• Filter Knob, or CV#1, becomes the  
volume control for Synth A.  
• Resonance Knob, or CV#2, becomes  
the volume control for Synth B.  
G-707  
• Mode Switch becomes SW1 and SW2.  
When the mode switch is switched down, the  
receiving synth receives a “SWITCH 1” command.  
When the mode switch is switch up, the receiving  
synth receives a “SWITCH 2” command. This  
function works best when the switch is rapidly  
turned on and off, moving away from and quickly  
returning to the center position (off).  
The position for Mode I on a vintage G-Series  
controller, is now “SWITCH 1.”  
The position for Mode III on a vintage G-Series  
controller, is now “SWITCH 2.”  
The center position, or Mode II on a vintage G-  
Series controller, is now off.
