Roland GR-55 Guitar Synth and Modelin

Guitar synthesiser & guitar/amp modelling in one device with 910 synth sounds, complete modelling sound chain and much more. - Black

Now both technologies are combined: The GR-55 offers triple tone generation from two PCM synthesizers (with more than 900 sounds from the latest Roland synthesiser technology) and a sound chain with COSM guitar/bass/synth/amp modelling (from the VG-99, including retuning at the touch of a button). Thanks to years of research, the GR-55 has the absolutely fastest and most reliable tone recognition for the synth sounds, and the modelling sounds have always been completely delay-free! In addition to inexhaustible sound combinations, the GR-55 offers other groundbreaking features: Playback of audio data from a USB stick (via foot control, ideal for playbacks), two multi-effects processors, 20-second looper on board, USB interface for audio and MIDI, simplest operation with "Easy Edit" function and extra-large display.
