Roland GS-6 [Japanese Vintage Guitar Preamp]

This is an awesome digital multi-effect guitar processor released in Japan in the late 1980s, during the "Golden Era" of Japanese audio equipment. Like other Roland gear from this period, the GS-6 is built to a high standard of quality. With its rugged design, it can be kept in the studio or brought out to play live.

It was designed to be a 1-stop shop for guitar players and offers not only effects such as delay, reverb, and chorus, but also preamps, noise cancellation, and MIDI control. The front panel is well designed, and once you get the hang of it you can quickly dial in awesome tones. It has 16-bit DACs for studio-quality sound. I like the 3-stage input adjustment. There's a lot of flexibility in tone with this. It overall has a nice high-quality feel. You can get a really nice Roland-style 80s digital shimmery reverb and more. The GS-6 remains highly sought after due to the wide range of great tones you can get with it, as well as the overall quality.

This is a nice video (not mine) with an overview of the tones:



This one is in excellent condition. It has a few expected signs of age and use (please see pictures), including some minor scratches and scuffs. Overall it is cosmetically looking great. The display looks good and is easy to read. All functions I tested are working perfectly. I tested everything except the MIDI and memory shift on the back, but I presume those are working along with everything else.
