Hello.
Should somebody try to plug audio outputs Kronos and audio input any guitar processor (GP 10 Boss, for example) ?
Can this connection to work?

Thanks.

Definitely. Guitar processors will process any incoming analog audio stream, which includes the Kronos.

Just keep in mind most sounds on the Kronos also have effects which mean if you have a reverb on the Kronos, the reverb sound will ALSO be affected when going through the guitar processor. Depending on what you're doing with it, you may want to remove most of the effects in the Kronos before sending to an external processor.

Certainly possible.

You can always route your patch out to 1,2,3 and/or 4 in to the FX unit then return it to the Kronos' inputs. That would then go to any other output (L/R or a different individual output...) or thru an IFX slot first...

Lots of options...

Recently, I researched the guitar sound through the GP10 Boss.
Impressive !!!
I can not create such a powerful and solid rock sound at Kronos.
The programs Kronos is nothing like that.
So I thought ...

Yeah just try it.

I've never put the Kronos' sounds thru an external pedal but do it the other way - run my acoustic guitar thru the Kronos, using it as an FX unit. Chorus/Enhancer etc. Sounds great.

"The overdrive stuff should be a lot better in a dedicated pedal. I tried the Kronos' FX for fun with my acoustic going thru the distortion. Wasnt great. The Boss should sound a lot better.

EDIT...

Agreed, as above. Make the sound you send to the pedal as dry as you can. Add the reverb in the pedal or in the output of the Kronos. If that makes sense. A diagram would be much easier!

You might try the new Boss guitar synth shown at the recent Messe.

No midi pickup required.
