Roland GR-20 Guitar Synthesizer -
fully tested, in excellent operating condition, some very minor cosmetic wear
from normal use. Includes GK-3 Pickup,
13-Pin Cable, original box, manual on CD, and power supply.
Plug-and-play
high-quality synth and
instrument sounds for your guitar.
The Roland GR-20 Guitar Synthesizer
is the ultimate MIDI pedal for guitars. Ever wanted to thicken up your guitar
sound with a warm synth
pad? Or how about a screaming lead sound that puts you in front? The GR-20
Guitar Synthesizer makes playing high-quality synthesizer and instrument sounds
from your guitar as simple as 1-2-3. First, attach a GK-3 Divided
Pickup ( not included) to your steel-stringed electric (no drilling necessary).
Second, select the type of sound you want using the Bank knob. Third, choose a
sound variation using the Number/Value dial and start playing. With the GR-20,
it's easy to tap into the power of guitar synthesis.
Guitar Synth or
Compact Pedal?
With the GR-20, it feels like both. Selecting a sound is
like choosing an effect. First, select a sound category using the Bank knob.
Categories include Strings/Orchestral, Wind, Brass, Bass/Guitar, Organ/Keyboard,
Piano, Synth/Lead,
Voice/Pad, Ethnic, and Rhythm/Percussion. Now you can select individual sounds
using the Number/Value dial.
Roland's Finest Sounds with Exceptional
Tracking
At the heart of the GR-20 is an advanced sound engine based on
Roland's professional synthesizers. Sounds can be played with up to 48-voice
polyphony for full, rich-sounding patches. And the sounds are equally
impressive. From expressive string ensembles to spiritual tabla loops coupled
with sitar--all with adjustable attack and release. Sophisticated DSP makes
the GR-20's pitch detection ultrareliable,
so you can strum with confidence.
Take Your Guitar Playing
Further
Want to create a sound that's all your own? Try blending the
natural sound of your guitar pickups with the GR-20. Thankfully, the GK-3 Divided
Pickup makes this easy via a larger and smoother knob. Imagine playing chords
and then slowly fading in a swirling, breathy pad to create intensity. Or how
about playing a distorted lead on your guitar with a thick synth
lead sound? Now take this a step further with the GR-20's Patch Link function.
It allows you to easily assign GR-20 patches to match effect patches in
MIDI-capable processors such as the BOSS GT-6.
