Product information "Roland GR-55GK-BK"
Roland's GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer is a revolutionary new product combining PCM synthesis with digital instrument modelling derived from the VG-99 V-Guitar System. The GR-55 represents Roland's latest breakthrough advances in guitar synthesis.
Roland's GR-55 guitar synth and effects processor gives you more tones and features, making laggy and inaccurate tracking a thing of the past. When Roland designed the GR-55, they redeveloped their already leading pitch-detection technology to bring you their fastest guitar synth ever. Using the included GK-3 hex pickup, your guitar can conjure up screaming leads, rich pads, and piano accents.
The Roland GR-55 guitar synth also includes Roland's COSM tone modelling with 23 types in guitar mode and 17 types in bass mode, 20 Multi-Effects, 42 amps and preamps, 14 Modulations, 7 Delays, 5 Reverbs, one EQ, and 4 Chorus. The GR-55 has the perfect sounds of any music. And the GR-55 features an onboard USB memory music player with foot controls, so you can rock out with your favorite tones without being in a band.

Roland was founded as a manufacturer of various musical instruments and studio equipment on 18 April 1972 in Osaka, Japan. Among the earliest products to reach the market were the first rhythm machines of the TR series, whose successors TR-808, TB-303 and TR-909 had a decisive influence on the techno, electro and hip-hop scenes. In the mid-1970s the JC-120 Jazz Chorus guitar amplifier was developed, whose ultra-clear sound together with the built-in chorus effect won over both Andy Summers of The Police and Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield of Metallica. Since then and to this day Roland have continuously expanded their catalogue across a wide range of fields such as digital pianos, grooveboxes, e-drums and synthesizers with high-quality and interesting products.
