    I have been playing guitar for 30 years and this guy is one of the few that has inspired me recently. His attitude, demeanor and persona seems totally honest and unpretentious.
    Thanks for the boost, I surely needed it!!!

    The blending of the guitar with the effected sound using a volume pedal for the effect volume is exactly what Steve Morse has been doing for the last 45 years.

    @davesabog No The GK3 transmits the information to the GR20 which processes the synth. sounds.The magnetic p/u's mean you can also play the guitar as a "normal" guitar either separately or combined with the synth.

  • @Bowtie41
    @Bowtie41 13 лет назад +1

    @shelyl
    You either need a GK3(GK2/A) or a midi guitar with a 13 pin to interface with the GR-20.The pickup itself makes no difference in the tones/patches available,but with the GK-3 you can put the switch in the middle position,and blend the GR-55 with your guitar's normal sound.Hope this helps!

  • @36hunters
    @36hunters 15 лет назад

    @CRBaustintx You have to buy the Pickup.
    Its called the Roland GK-3 which you just stick to the guitar or you can Buy the Roland GK Kit which perm is in your guitar and you have to do lots of wireing and stuff.

  • @PMTVUK
    @PMTVUK  15 лет назад

    yes, the Roland GK3 will fit to most guitars, thats how it can pick up each strings information individually

  • @Explosive184
    @Explosive184 13 лет назад +1

    I love the way the blending sounds!

  • @kingstumble
    @kingstumble 14 лет назад

    @AllBluesCat It would sound exactly the same because the sounds are being transmitted via the built in Roland GK p/u,not by the guitar's magnetic p/u's.

    looks like it, looks and sounds amazing too. this guy really is good at these reviews.
    a real credit to Nevada Music

    @KaneBraz 15 лет назад

    LuGMZth you don't need a normal pedal board also, you can just use the GR20 on it's own, the guitar out port on the GR20 is only needed if you want to use normal guitar and can be plugged into a normal pedal board OR amp, notice on the video he didn't have the normal pedal board even connected until 3:55

  • @lordsong7
    @lordsong7 15 лет назад

    The guitar is a Brian Moore iGuitar - made in the USA
    the synth pickup is inside the guitar - like Godin or Carvin synth access guitars

  • @TheGuitarPoland
    @TheGuitarPoland 13 лет назад

  • @ShimmySystem

    @SuperRockingMrMagic GR-20 has midi output so you can hook that up to your computer via Midi-to-USB connection, and then control FL Studio with it.

  • @functfusion
    @functfusion 16 лет назад

    yeah it can go inline with your other effects there are jacks labeled mix in for that

  • @kingstumble
    @kingstumble 14 лет назад

    @davesabog It is quite confusing.Alex is playing a Brian Moore iguitar which has a built in GK3(to be accurate it's not strictly a GK3 but a hex p/u which works in exactly the same way) but it's hidden so you can't see it! There are also other brands which have a similar set up-Godin and Carvin come to mind.
    The GK cable is able to carry the signal from both the hex p/u for the synth sounds AND the magnetic pickups so you don't need a separate cable for the "standard" guitar sound.Clever eh?

  • @Robertohn
    @Robertohn 15 лет назад

    @exile28foo it's because is a guitar designed to support midi stuff. for the regular guitars you'd need the pickup.
    probably comes from a video to advertise the pedalboard only?

  • @mushthemagicdragon
    @mushthemagicdragon 14 лет назад

    @PauloDJ2
    you need a 13 pin cable..there is so much info being sent that 13 pin is needed..sucks because you can get a wireless midi set up but not for 13 pin cables..
    not sure what you mean by the 2nd question..

  • @cluxseltoot
    @cluxseltoot 13 лет назад +2

  • @Splittail01
    @Splittail01 16 лет назад

    no worries dude i have no problems with it, ive also used my friends VG-99 and he uses that with a GK-3 so i know alittle about that.
    My Gr-20 has been ordered today and Roland are really good with thier deliveries i hear, but yeah hope all is well

  • @anazardcore
    @anazardcore 8 лет назад +1

    I myself wouldn't know how to make the best using it, but this pedal is simply awesome!

  • @m1a1garand59
    @m1a1garand59 12 лет назад +1

    Listening to Alex compared to others he makes it sound fantastic. Now I don't know if it's the amp or just the fact he is a better guitarist. The best way to use most effects like this are through a monitor. Like a Roland, or Peavey. But if you watch some other video's his is the cleanest sounding. Also could it be that his guitar has the pickup installed and not outside? I would really like to know. I wrote him but no reply yet. That's OK But it's an older model and hard to find to try.

  • @dorkwingdeck
    @dorkwingdeck 12 лет назад +8

    That's great, but does it have vuvuzela?

  • @Chri5toffer
    @Chri5toffer 15 лет назад +1

    Awesome! I never thought this were possible. If you get a "looper", then this would rock. But look like a great pedal. Perhaps an investment ;)

  • @Splittail01
    @Splittail01 16 лет назад

    i watched this demo and went out and going to buy one of these this week....just wish there was alittle more on the GK-3 divided Pick up in this.
    but still a great review
    also wish there was abit more on the pedalboards section and if it can be attached to any pedal board or just boss/roland products.

  • @36hunters

    @CRBaustintx I just found out that the GR-20 comes with thee Pickup in the box i think.

  • @plentius
    @plentius 14 лет назад

    You need to have a hex pickup. These can be add-on units that you can buy. The rotary speaker sound simulations are included.

  • @SMADdie86
    @SMADdie86 15 лет назад

    You can choose to use the loop back, so that the external pedal goes back in to the gr or if you plug it in another amp or so.
    At least this is so with the gr-33

  • @jpritch69
    @jpritch69 16 лет назад

    I had one, it was pretty cool. Some sounds track better than others, they all sound great though. It made me want more sounds and more polyphony, so I ended up focusing on keyboards and using VSTs... Still if you want to stick with guitar the GR20 is great value.

    Thanks man. But I'm still confused, what he has here is just the GK cable or something? I couldn't see the GK-3 or a special pickup installed.

    Your guitar seems to track the roland really well. I have just borrowed one before I buy but I'm using the GK3 which does not track aswell. What guitar are you using or midi pickup? Sounds great though.

  • @Splittail01
    @Splittail01 16 лет назад

    im buying mine for £360 from my local music shop, its just for convieniance but as roland have upped thier price by 10% its hard to get it for a decent price these days inclding the GK-3

  • @Vermillion2176
    @Vermillion2176 14 лет назад

    Spectorman09 -
    The GR-33 is discontinued. The GR-20 came out and probably killed the sales of the hard to operate GR-33. Roland is now saying that the GR-20 has replaced the GR-33.
    The GR-20 has all the same patches as the GR-33 but is LOTS easier to operate especially live.

  • @omarope822
    @omarope822 14 лет назад

    2 questions....
    1. Can you use the GR-20 with a normal cable instead of a 13-pin?
    2. Can you use the guitar alone and then change to the GR-20 effects without another pedal or a GK-3?
    PD: MAN, YOU'RE AWESOME!!!!!!!! :D
