The piano sound is worth it alone come on!!! I've never seen anything this capable or quality. The thing not being talked about is the INSANE amount of tweaking that can be done to enhance the sounds
Yes absolutely, I talk about that extensive customization in other videos on this channel. I hope I earned your subscription and I'm glad you enjoy the pedal as much as I do. I also think not a lot of people are paying attention to this and if you have played the GK3 pickup the GK5 pickup definitely tracks better. It's a wonderful machine
It takes more than one hour to play through all the sounds?? Im sold!
If you want to use both control switches yes it does. Then again sometimes I'm spending several minutes on some patches and on others only 10 seconds. It all depends on what I find musically useful.
I will have chapters with clickable timestamps coming soon. This was my longest video ever so I'm quite tired. No video has been so exhausting to record or edit. I do this for myself as a reference and I'm happy you all have tuned in with me for 5 years. Thanks for 575 subscribers! This was originally 2 hours and 10 minutes. Please take the time to hit LIKE on the video if you enjoy it. I hope I earned your subscription today.
That's what I was looking for, thanks!
You're very welcome, I hope I earned your subscription today.
Thank you very much!
You're very welcome, I'm happy to bring it.
Thnx for the video!
You're very welcome, this was a very difficult video to make.
Awesome video! Would love to see you make/edit some presets
You definitely will see that as well as a lot more coming from this pedal. Be sure you or subscribe so you don't miss this Sunday's video. I really loving the sounds on this unit.
I made a video in response to this comment. This is because I was also interested in getting more educational with the channel. I hope you enjoy this video / tutorial of how to create a custom scene on the gm-800. Thank you for your comment and your interest in the channel. ruclips.net/video/JMl3wIwvZmQ/видео.html
Thanx very much
Thank you very much, I hope I earned your subscription.
Great video. Could split it in named sections which would have been very useful in navigating.
You're right, I totally forgot to do that for this video. I'll get on that asap. Thanks for pointing that out!
@@GearSounds awesome! Thanks!🙏
You're very welcome, I got to work on it already. Anyone else that wants to help me complete it will get a free 3D printed pedal board
I liked the video as soon as I saw the halo reference lol
I'm very happy for that as Halo 3 is my favorite game and the Halo series is my favorite series of games. I don't have as much time for gaming as I used to but I still love the music from this game. I hope I also earned your subscription!
Awesome video! Sick playing.
Any chance you can show off the gm800 drum set sounds?
Thank you, I famously do nearly everything my viewers ask for. If you've seen my gm800 videos You know how much I dislike the rhythm tones in this pedal. However, I wouldn't mind doing a live stream of all the rhythm tones.
The crackling on patch 78 is actually intended!
I would guess it is the Phonograph effect being used - after all this is preset 78 and it sounds like an old 78. The programmer definitely has a good sense of humor ;-).
@@midiguitarist4140I guess you would be correct as it turns on and off right with the patch. However I don't remember that when I recorded. I'll have to look into it again
@@midiguitarist4140You sir, are a prime example of why I love my audience. They teach me, far more than I teach them! 📚
Another great video . This video makes me want to buy it. The other video where you play all brass sounds makes me feel that keyboard is far better option due to weird tracking. You are “playing down” to fit the equipment here… is that fair?
Well, I would say it is more a limitation of my setup. If I put foam like I have been meaning to I wouldn't be having those issues. I simply critique this because I imagine not everyone will set it up as much as I have. That being said the technology is the limitation, not this unit itself. This unit is the best synth for guitar on earth. If you can play keyboard, that's the better option, especially with things like the seaboard rise offering bending.
@@GearSounds You are doing great work. Really objective and comprehensive reviews with great insights. I also appreciate the detailed replies.
Thank you, I'm glad you appreciate my work as I've taken a great pride in it for over 5 years now without earning a single penny. Hopefully my 3D printer will earn me some money soon with my inventions.
Amazing video! Anyway, are you using GK5 on your guitar?
Hello and thank you! I hope I earned your subscription, but yes I am using the GK5 pickup on this video and ALL GM-800 videos.
@@GearSoundsIs the piano symphony sound good works without gk5 pickup?
No, all of these sounds require a GK5 or GK3 pickup to function. You will not get as accurate of tracking on the GK3 that you do on the GK5, however the GK3 has more functionality on the pickup itself with a volume knob and bank selection switch.
are you using the new GK cable?
Absolutely yes and I noticed the tracking was about 15% better and latency decreased by about 10%
@@GearSounds so It's Possible to use it without ?!
Yes but you will need a giant converter box to use it with GK3! So yes, you do need it.@@boimesa8190
@boimesa8190 No, unlike the SY1000 which has five patches that don't require the cable (these are useless as they are awful And sound like an SY1) The GM 800 has zero patches that you can use without the pickup. For anyone that is serious about Guitar synthesis, get over the fact that you have to use a pickup, computers cannot process six signals at once. The pickup solves this problem. Until hex pickups come inside guitars as a normal thing, you will always need a pick up.
the patch 7 is like a violin patch? thanks!!!
You're very welcome. I'm glad the video was helpful and I hope I've earned your subscription.
Thanks very much for your video,can I just ask two questions,how is the tracking overall,especially when chording as on a few of the sounds you played at 1.36.10 and 1.32.26,sounded like some ghost notes got in there.
Yes, you are correct about the ghost notes. It actually happened a lot more often than I was expecting for this unit. That being said the tracking is about 25% better I would say than the SY1000 or the GK3 pickup. It isn't going to amaze you but you will definitely notice it. I wouldn't say that it's worth the upgrade unless you want keyboard only sounds. I feel like the SY1000 covers a lot of these bases plus it can do guitar sounds as well.
thanks for your honest appraisal,i was really thinking about getting this,but now feel i will wait and see how it goes before doing so..cheers! excellent though the official advertising videos are for this unit from talented official demo players who make it all sound so good,its only from honest upfront demos like yours that really show up the possible deficiencies which still exist and still need addressing before spending out so much on the unit....Well..update...I decided to get one in the end.I installed the GK5 on my strat,using no spacers,just the fixing tape,and gotta say,its an absolutely fantastic bit of kit.I haven,t had any latency issues at all,all tracks really really well and all bass sounds are fantastic,to my ears anyway.I,m glad I went ahead and got one,despite my initial reservations.
I'm glad you enjoy my honest unedited approach to this. The only parts that I edit out are the parts where I am not playing. If I make a mistake it stays in. If the unit malfunction it stays in the video. This is how I show honestly, what the unit is capable of. Those who know my playing know that I rarely make a mistake, so if you hear a ghost note it is 9/10 the unit making a tracking error.
Tracking is 100% dependent on how accurately you install your pickup. If you do a good job installing your pickup it is a substantial improvement from the gk3
@@ERMAV With some guitars you are limited to where it can be installed, like my G&L. Lucky for me it is exactly in the correct spot. I didn't notice a large improvement over the gk3. I am still debating returning this unit.
so are there good sounding guitars?) a few guitar sound presets from this video are sounding so plastic(( I always wants from Roland GR-55 or SY-1000 to createe preset for fingerstyle, where we have one sound for usual acoustic guitar, one sound for strings 4-6 with bass-guitar and one sound with effects for 1-3 strings. With possibility on/off every instrument by the CTL buttons. But guitars (acoustic and electric) sounds very artificial in this demo unfortunately. Is possible to create good sounds for bass, electric and acoustic guitars? Thanx for detailed demo)
No, unfortunately it is not possible to create real guitar sounds with this unit. All of the guitar sounds you heard were synthesizer versions of guitars which is why they sounded plastic to you. The unit that you want is the SY1000 which can do synthesizer tones and real guitar tones just fine. This is purely for synth tones only. Which means it can do pretty much any Roland keyboard sound. To achieve your goal the SY1000 could do exactly what you want, a finger style guitar by just allowing your normal guitar through or using a modeled acoustic guitar which would sound amazing. Then you could put strings and a bass guitar behind that and separate the strings for different things.
They r meant to sound plastic. Otherwise , it wont be called a guitar synth.
Yes but for the price of this unit I think it should do with the SY1000 does and do guitar sounds as well
Did you record only in mono?
At the request of you and another viewer, a stereo video is OUT NOW. This might be more short but I will have a longer video out next week or the week after that. Stereo recording will be the standard going forward. Thank you for improving the quality of gear sounds with quality constructive criticism. ruclips.net/video/JMl3wIwvZmQ/видео.html
Don't have a violin?
It has a viola which is a larger version of a violin, all you have to do is play in the range on the guitar where the violin exists and boom, violin. This would honestly be true of most of the string patches so long as it again, there in the frequency spectrum of an actual violin and played that way as best as possible. I hope that helps and I hope I earned your subscription.
Do you find that this unit tracks better than the GR-55. Are you using the newest pickup or the one that is used with the GR-55
As you can see in the text in the beginning of the video I am indeed using the GK5. I mentioned this other times but I'll say it again the tracking is 15 to 20% better which has usefulness to the pedal for sure.
@@GearSounds i found the gr55 pianos lagged a little and I had to accommodate my playing. I will give the GM-800 a try. I also like the size.
Yes, as long as you properly set it up as instructed it is definitely tracking better than the GK3. This is the first fundamental upgrade since the GR55 and the GK3. The GK5 is indeed an upgrade worth trying

@@pierreparis1753 Hi there, can I ask how did you like it?
Why is gr-55 better? For some reason I didn’t see much of a difference, if you connect it to a gr-55 bigsky strymon it will have the same effects.
No, they're definitely is a difference in quality however the difference is much smaller than the difference between the GR55 and the GM 800. The GM 800 is leaps and bounds better than GR55 but you are correct, with a great reverb pedal the GR55 can sound very close to the SY1000 but will not do everything that it does in terms of multi-effects.
We appreciate the work you put in but doing it in mono is just dumb.
Stereo takes significantly longer to edit and record, however no one watches those videos. I can no longer do stereo as a standard when for some reason the algorithm deprioritizes any video I create that is in stereo. Go ahead and take a look for yourself, the stereo video that I put out has barely any views and it is direct input stereo as you requested. Yet, for some reason youtube pushes you this video. This happens every single time I attempt to replace my mono all sounds video with a stereo all sounds video. My conclusion is that it doesn't matter if I do stereo, it only matters if I do a video quickly. I can produce videos much more quickly and mono than I can in stereo. Since stereo videos do worse, there is quite literally zero reason for me to produce stereo videos. If stereo videos did as well I would make it the new standard but no one watches them. When I put stereo in the title nine out of 10 guitar players have no idea what that even means. I appreciate that like me you are a nerd for sound but please accept that the general public isn't.

Se puede conectar a un piano midi?
Yes, you can control any MIDI device with this and you can also output to MIDI as well. If you have a synthesizer where you enjoy the voices you can use it by outputting from this pedal. The hex pickup essentially converts your signal into a MIDI usable signal
A lot of these patches from gr55 so nothing new apart from the pick-up. thanks for the vid though.
I disagree, I think they sound more rich and the tracking is better for sure with the new pickup. More accurate.
sento degli sgradevoli rumori di fondo!! come mai?? e' cosi' rumoroso davvero???
Questa è una registrazione con ingresso diretto, quindi non c'è rumore di fondo. Prova a utilizzare un computer con altoparlanti di qualità superiore. I telefoni possono introdurre distorsioni nelle frequenze più basse.
ENGLISH: This is a direct input recording so there is no background noise. Try using a computer with higher quality speakers. Phones can introduce distortion in the lower frequencies.
puo' essere!!
Great job! For my opinion sounds in 2023 are not very good… most of tones - back to 80s…
These are real synth tones but modern synth engines use frequency modulation, a feature that no guitar synth has yet to implement.
80's was a golden era for synths, you can also access Roland cloud and control daw with this.
Honesty listening to this video makes Me realize this unit is most likely gonna be trash. I don’t need to replicate cheesy 80s hit keyboards. Also boss is really getting lazy. Most of these sounds are regurgitated from other units.
@@ramon2008 You make a fair point but that being said, these are the best keyboard sounds available for guitar right now. I am still a little on the fence on this unit given that you have ZERO real guitar sounds in here and it does not do 432hz.
@@ramon2008 It also does current Roland fantom sounds too. Its a great bit of kit, love mine.
You should really work out how to record stereo recordings instead of mono as it sounds inferior. It can’t be that hard 😜

I actually use it (play bass guitar) in a mono rig.
Mono is king!!!!!
I am glad you also like mono @@carycunningham5625
I don't know about king but I also use mono for convenience. @@ERMAV
I got the GR-700, then the GR-50 and then the GR-1. Why Roland always have bad sounds ????? Why there's no GK-in in the new SH-4D who sounds like i want it to sounds??? I'm tired to spend money for the Roland Synth product. I finaly finish with Meris ENZO. There your are in the real synth. Realy create your personnal sounds and it sound like a real analog engine. Not those bad sounds. Sad cause Roland have the best synth but not for guitar.. For me Roland and boss for my guitar it's over.
The problem with your comment is a fundamental misunderstanding of the technology. With current processing power you must understand that a guitar is six individual signals. The split pickup is necessary and if you understand that you can understand why it requires six times the processing power due to six signals being present. The SH 4D only has a single signal present therefore it can dedicate all of its processing power to that single signal. That is why the sounds are higher quality, it can dedicate more synth engines to that single signal. That simply is not a possibility on guitar unless you want to play on a single string, in which case Roland could develop a synthesizer that sounds just as good as the SH4D. However, who wants to play a single stringed guitar? A synthesizer on a guitar will always be six times worse in terms of processing power than a real synthesizer. That being said this is still the best a guitar synthesizer has ever sounded. Please understand the limits of the technology. The Meris Enzo is not polyphonic and in no way compares to the functionality of the GM 800. Yes you do have more traditional functionality on the Enzo however you only have one voice and you can only play one note at a time. No comparison at all however it would be great for single note melodies if you want that single voice.
latencia peor que el gr 55 ,, un desatre tengo que devolver mi boss gm 800 sonidos excelentes , latencia muy mal ,sonidos fantasmas .. etc,,, no os dejéis engañar es un juguete , los sintes son teclados no guitarras , he perdido mucho dinero con roland boss, los mejores el boss gp 10 y el roland vg 88,durante 30 años .... llevo 40 años tocando guitarra
¿Compraste el captador GK5? ¿Ajustaste los sillines del puente y le informaste al pedal lo que hiciste? Si no lo hiciste, no has terminado de configurar el pedal, ya que requiere el GK5 más una configuración para funcionar correctamente. El seguimiento de esto es mejor que cualquier otro sintetizador que use un captador hexafónico jamás inventado. No hay un seguimiento más rápido para un pedal de sintetizador que use un captador hexafónico en el planeta tierra. Ninguno. Estás comparando manzanas con piñas aquí, señor.
que tal Díaz, tan mala es? y que tan mala es la del gr55? estaba planeando comprar el gr55 o este, he leído que la latencia tiene que ver con la posición de la GK...
Hmmmmm in your hands it sounds like cheap Japanese toy from the 80ies
😂 This is exactly how it sounds as this is a direct input recording. If you are referring to my playing style, thank you for the compliment sir. 👺
