signal to process via its COSM algorithm, so it's obvious why that's a
non-starter through MIDI. However, most (all?) other guitar synths will
also require a guitar-type controller to trigger the synth engine; they
cannot be played via normal MIDI note input. So the architecture needs to
be a "split and run in parallel" setup, rather than a "chain one device
after another" effect run.
Now if the question were concerning the VG in tandem with a generic MIDI
synth module, your solution would work just fine. I've done the same with
my VG-99 in conjunction with a JV-1080. Unfortunately in this case, both
devices need to be driven from a GK-style pickup controller.
Unless I overlooked something in the original problem description.

(P.S. There's another footswitch besides the GKP-4 or US-20 that will allow
you to take two GK inputs and route them to three different devices. It's a
custom job from a different company out of, I think, Germany. It's
expensive, but not so much more than having to pay $200 for a US-20. At
least you feel like you're getting something besides ripped off for that
one.)
