About this listing

Create Your Own Synth TonesWhen your collection of effects pedals and stompboxes no longer excites you -- or your guitar -- check out the Roland GR-55 guitar synthesizer and give yourself the sound overhaul you deserve. With this advanced floor pedal, you can perform with more than 900 unique, customizable synth tones and guitar models. A Hi-Tech Mecca for Synthesis EnthusiastsMade up of two PCM synthesizers, the GR-55's triple-core engine makes this Roland guitar synth fast, versatile, and fun to play. The triple-core engine provides a wealth of virtual guitars, basses, amps, and synth voices, all of which may be accessed instantly with quick-access category buttons and foot pedals. The GR-55's expansive collection of unique sounds is ready to go for a variety of genres, in the studio or on stage. Roland's pitch-detection technology adds an unrivaled touch of speed and accuracy to the guitar synthesizer, ensuring that it plays exactly what you want to play, when you want to play it. According to Roland, the COSM guitar-modeling engine needs zero detection time, allowing the GR-55 to respond instantly and exactly as you play, detecting pitch, velocity, and behavior faster than your synapses can tell your brain what just happened. Play with Powerful PresetsIf you're a "plug and play" type of musician who would rather start playing right out of the box than mess with programming and editing sounds, you will enjoy the many presets available on the GR-55. Dive right in to a collection of 270 ready-to-use presets, as well as 297 user presets, accessible with simple category buttons. There to kick off your noodle session or jam, the presets cover all popular genres, including pop and rock. When you want to delve deeper into the GR-55's sounds, check out the EZ Edit function, which makes it "EZ" to customize sounds and make them your own. Other features that make the synth easy to use include a large LCD, a number of controllable parameters, and USB connectivity. Use the two USB ports -- one on the rear panel and one on the side -- for MIDI communication or to exchange audio files and upload samples or effects. On the GR-55, your feet control USB audio playback, leaving your hands free to play your guitar.
