In fully operational condition. Surface-mount capacitor was replaced by a certified Roland technician in 2022. Comes with original box, install tool, screwdriver, owner's manual, and 'Expanded' decal.

The upgraded capacitor will ensure decades of trouble-free use, as the original capacitors that Roland used on the SR-JV80 cards were prone to leaking and even exploding. You can google that for more information, it's a well-documented issue.

The Roland SR-JV80-17 Country Collection is a specialized expansion board for Roland's JV- and XP-series synthesizers, created specifically for authentic country, bluegrass, Americana, western swing, and folk music. Unlike broader expansion boards such as Vintage Synth or Session, the Country Collection focuses almost exclusively on realistic acoustic and electric instruments commonly heard in American country music. It was developed in collaboration with Sampleheads, whose high-quality sample libraries were well known in professional studios.

Highlights

• 256 preset patches
• 8 MB PCM ROM dedicated entirely to country-oriented instruments and phrases
• Designed for both studio production and live performance

The board features an impressive selection of carefully sampled instruments, including:

• Steel-string acoustic guitars
• Fingerpicked acoustic guitars

• Stratocaster-style electric guitars

• Mandolins
• Fiddles

Roland also included numerous guitar articulations such as muted picking, slides, harmonics, tremolo, velocity switching, and phrase samples, making performances much more realistic than typical ROMplers of the era.
