Godin LGX-SA, User Manual

The Electric Voices

The LGX-SA delivers electric sounds via 2 Seymour Duncan
humbucker pick-ups (SH II jazz in the neck and a Custom III
in the bridge) thanks to a special 5-way switch set-up, extra
meaty humbucker tones co-exist with glassy single coil
sounds in the second and forth position. 

The Acoustic and Synth Voices

Turn down the electric volume and raise the volume on the
transducer saddles and the LGX-SA becomes an incredibly
authentic-sounding 'acoustic' guitar. The acoustic voice of the
LGX-SA is enhanced by an onboard preamp with a three-way
graphic EQ. The two outputs are set up so that the electric
and acoustic voices can be blended in the guitar using a sin-
gle patch cord or at the amp/mixer using both outputs. The
third voice on the LGX-SA comes in the form of its synth
tracking, which simply put, is the best in the business. As with
all of Godin synth-ready instruments, a built-in 13-pin connec-
tor provides direct access to all Roland GR-Series synths as
well as most other 13-pin devices.

The LGX-SA features 3 output jacks:
Output #1

is a regular 1/4" electric guitar output

Output #2

is a 13-Pin output and is capable of carrying all three

voices (electric, acoustic, synth).  The 13-pin cable can be used
in conjunction with GR Series guitar synths and most other 13-
pin devices.

Output #3

is a dual function jack.  Used on its own it serves as

a mix output carrying the signal from the acoustic bridge trans-
ducers as well as the magnetic pickups. Separate volume con-
trols on the guitar make it easy to mix the two signals.  

When an additional cable is inserted into output # 1 (electric
output) the magnetic pickup signal is removed from the mix out-
put so that there is now a separate output for both the magnetic
and bridge transducer pickup systems.

3 Outputs - 3 cords

You can use all three outputs to carry out the dedicated signal
into three different channels or amp sources.

*tip: 

when all three outputs are used you can insert a dummy

plug into the “guitar out” jack on the guitar synth to remove the
guitar from the synths’s stereo output.
