      Great shout man. Genuine dude, not trying to sell it or make out that it was more than it was. You could see the leading questions from Roland in the way he answered haha! Still clearly very happy with the pedal though and if he says it’s good, that’s a pretty solid stamp of approval! 😊✌🏻

    schecter devil custom, was out for about 3 years came in orange (seen) green and red. i have a red one and i dont have any idea why they stopped making them. incredible guitar, can be found used for about 3-400$ and were new around $700 in their day. emgs, grover tuners, neck through. really a good package.

    @endtimeguitarist 5 лет назад

    I was wondering if it was going right into the speakers or possibly a Roland cube? It doesn’t make sense though because it was clearly being recorded but to where is my question since there was no mic placed to record the speakers or unit on top.

  • @lestoinkzzconcepcion2868
    @lestoinkzzconcepcion2868 5 лет назад +1

    i've been using this for about 6years now...and i dont want to let it go coz i love the versatility specially for me who play a lot of covers...,but im really waiting for ROLAND to have a wireless system for this unit like FISHMAN TRIPLE PLAY DID....i always having trouble with their 13pin cable because it gets break or damaged so EASILY like after 1 or 2 months of usage.. and for me ofcourse that cable is not that cheap.. even im really taking care of the cable..hopefully ROLAND company WILL hear me out.

    Is there any problem with latency ou low tracking? Have you ever compared this to other GRs such as 20, 30, 33 or any other guitar synthesizer? Are those guitar and amp simulations really good? I mean, do they worth the Money?? What about VG88 simulations? Thanks for your answer!

    I have red hair. And a stepfather. I've also been abandoned. My GK-3/GI-20 setup has been neglected for so long... No new hardware in this line is a major bummer. Playing hardware and soft-synths with guitar is like being thrust into the multiverse. Also, Dude is beyond inspiring.

  • @endtimeguitarist
    @endtimeguitarist 5 лет назад

    This is not criticism. It sounds like almost all the sounds are coming off the old Yngwie malmsteen albums and that is dapper! All the tones on his older albums were so fantastic and they were beautiful settings for the guitar, the keyboards, and all the instruments.

    Egyptian Danza was recorded in 1977, the GR-55 came out in 2011.
    So no.
    There are no "sitar sounds" in Egyptian Danza: there's a keyboard pad used by Barry Miles with a vaguely "eastern" feel to it, bit nothing remotely like a sitar.

    I think someone shouldve reminded him that the video is supposed to be about the roland gr-55 and not Jeff. He demonstrated maybe a 10% of what it will do . Alex Hutchings videos on this are much more insightful into the product itself .
