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 the included GK-3 Divided Pickup 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. 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 there's no limit to what you can do. Sophisticated DSP makes the GR-20's pitch detection ultra-reliable, so you can strum with confidence.
Guitar Synth, or Compact Pedal? With the GR-20 it feels like both. Simply attach the included GK-3 Divided Pickup to your guitar and you can be playing high-quality Roland sounds in seconds. 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. It's easy! GK-3 mounts easily on any steel-stringed electric without damage to guitar GK-3 features an adjustable curve design and pickup cable length, plus an attachment plate for Les Paul-type guitars Patch Link enables system to work with MIDI-capable multi-effects like the GT-6 When you buy a GR-20, you also get a GK-3 Divided Pickup and GK

I bought the 1st and the 2nd siries and this product is so compact that I have no complaints on ease of use.Designed so I can access the kind of instrument I want to play at the turn of the knob. I am still exploring it the more I learn to use it the more I love it. Thanks to Roland Guitar Synth technology, you're the BEST!!!!
