Yes, exactly so! I also found that the general fidelity of the GR55
output (all of them) is a bit dodgy. But wet blankets are fine for
complement as long as you don't wrap up just about everything in them
:-))

There is also a hell of a lot hiss coming out of the GR55's outputs.
But again, that's only a problem if you just leave it like that. I
slapped noise gates on the amp input to silence the GR55 when not in
use. Hiss can sound cool though if layered together with synth sounds.
If you listen for GR55 hiss on this recording it actually is a lot:

...but sounds ok anyway as it is layered with warm sound pads.

The GK cable is also vulnerable and might induce crackling noise when
moved in certain ways.
