🎸 Roland GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer (2013 Model, Excellent Condition)

This is a Roland GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer, one of Roland’s most powerful and versatile guitar processors ever made — combining PCM synthesis, COSM guitar modeling, and multi-effects in one solid metal chassis.

⚙️ Overview

The GR-55 takes guitar performance to another level with its dual PCM sound engine and COSM-modeled guitars. It provides over 900 PCM tones (strings, brass, synths, pianos, etc.), plus authentic COSM-based electric and acoustic guitar simulations, and a full suite of effects and amp models — all playable in real time with zero noticeable latency (when paired with a GK-compatible pickup).

🎶 Key Features

Two independent PCM synth engines + COSM guitar modeling + normal guitar input — all layered or split across strings and fretboard.

Over 900 PCM sounds: from realistic instruments to ambient pads and synth textures.

COSM technology recreates classic electric, acoustic, and bass tones, alternate tunings, and even 12-string or sitar emulations.

Phrase looping, assignable footswitches, and expression pedal for live control.
