The main features of the Roland GR-55GK Guitar Synthesizer Pedal Black include;
The Roland GR-55GK Guitar Synthesizer Pedal Black including the GK-33 pickup is a revolution in guitar synthesis, with features never before available in any guitar processor. In terms of speed, it’s the fastest ever. It’s also the most accurate, thanks to newly developed pitch-detection technology. As for sound, the triple-core generator houses a world-class array of virtual guitars, basses, amps, and synth voices, enabling tones and textures that have never been heard before. Onstage or in the studio, you can instantly access the GR-55’s huge library of ready-to-use sounds, from pop to rock and beyond, with quick-access category buttons.
The GK Pickup is capable of picking up individual signals for each string. For example, normal pickups would capture and output signals from all six strings of the guitar. In contrast to this, a divided pickup is capable of picking up signals from each individual string and outputting these signals individually. This allows it to detect accurate performance information for each individual string. Additionally, since the output signal is analog ? the same as traditional pickups ? it faithfully conveys all guitar-playing techniques.
The GR55 is an amazing piece of kit, its got some really great sounds but sounds better once you,ve spent some time setting it up. Its not really a unpack and play. I recommend downloading the GR55 floorboard manager software from soundforge, it makes editing MUCH easier.
You can create absolutely any sound with this device and it is great. With Roland GR-55 and GK-3 divided pickup my cheep guitar (200 dollars) sounds like I got it for 1000!)) The price is pretty low for such a useful thing.
All is great with the unit: tracking beats up any daw-based synth, though it needs accurate maintance and tuning(also you have to play smooth). This unit is not for begginers - its for pros. I would reccommend this to everyone who looks for a new horizons in guitar technique and tones. And I think Roland corporation should work on software for editing patches
