Roland GR-55GK-BK Guitar Synthesizer + GK-3 Pickup (Black)

I have owned the Boss GT-100 and Boss RC-300 for a few years, so I know how awesome the Boss and Roland products are. As a guitarist and singer, I've been desperate for the ability to turn my guitar into other instruments - especially a piano and string section. After a lot of research, checking out the competition, I took the plunge and bought the RC-55 bundle that includes the GK-3 pickup and 13 pin midi cable. It is one of the best musical investments I've ever made. With the Double Low Piano patch, I can now play songs that have a piano accompaniment and make them sound truly believable. Suddenly, I'm a pianist, as well as an orchestra, and a jazz trio, and... the list goes on! Thank you Roland for an amazing product and helping me to be an all round better musician!

Roland GR-55GK-BK Guitar Synthesizer + GK-3 Pickup (Black)

Op YouTube had ik al een aantal video’s gezien over dit apparaat. Op een gegeven moment wilde ik kiezen tussen een Boss en een Roland. Omdat iemand had gezegd dat je uit een Roland wél een realistisch pianogeluid kon krijgen, viel daar mijn keuze op.
Mijn eerste dag: de presets afluisteren. Eerste indruk: geweldige sounds.
Dag twee was een poging zelf presets te maken. De eerste fout die ik maakte, was het systeem in de war gooien. Ik was in de veronderstelling dat je niets veranderde als je niet op ‘write’ had geklikt. Niet dus.
Blijf voorlopig even af van het stukje ‘system’ dat je kunt aanpassen.
Als je de moeite neemt de manual door te lezen, wordt toch wel een hoop duidelijker. De mogelijkheden zijn bijna oneindig. Het beste kun je een preset als uitgangspunt kiezen en kopiëren naar een user preset. Zo kun je setjes maken waartussen je makkelijk kunt switchen.
Er zijn pcm geluiden (synthesizer) en model (gitaar) geluiden die je kunt combineren. Een piano in een scheurende gitaar laten overgaan? Geen probleem.

De montage van het bijgeleverde element kan problemen opleveren. Ik probeerde het eerst op mijn strat, maar dat ging niet. De snaren lagen te laag. Op mijn Les Paul ging het moeiteloos met behulp van het bijgeleverde zwarte beugeltje en de twee minuscule rubberen ringetjes.
Ik heb dit apparaat gekocht, omdat ik het leuk vind thuis geluiden te creeeren. Een one-man-band beginnen zou een serieuze keuze kunnen zijn. Maar voor in een band zou ik me concentreren op het perfectioneren van hooguit zes presets.
Kortom: aanschaffen! Hier ga je geen spijt van krijgen.

Roland GR-55GK-BK Guitar Synthesizer + GK-3 Pickup (Black)

Livré dans les délais, bien emballé.
Installation du micro sur fender stratocaster relativement facile (il faut quand même découper la table)
Réglages pas très compliqués à effectuer (il existe le mode d'emploi en français).
Sons pas désagréables
TRES SATISFAIT

Wat een machine, ongelooflijk wat er allemaal in dit kastje zit. Echt oneindig veel mogelijkheden. Het is wel een hele boterham voor je dit apparaat onder de knie hebt, maar eens onder de knie gaat er een compleet nieuwe muziekwereld open.Toppie, ook weer door Bax op tijd afgeleverd.

Roland GR-55GK-BK Guitar Synthesizer + GK-3 Pickup (Black)

Na alle reviews en Youtube's demo's te hebben bekeken heb ik uiteindelijk deze GR55 bij Baxshop gekocht. Baxshop is voor mij inmiddels al een vertrouwd adres geworden. Ik heb de GR55 nu inmiddels bijna 1 maand. Na de eerste 2 weken met de handleiding erbij uitgeprobeerd, begin ik een beetje te begrijpen hoe de GR55 werkt. Ik heb nu wat user-patch geluiden naar mijn behoefte aangepast. De GR55 heeft oneindig veel klankmogelijkheden en in combinatie met de Roland GC-1 GK Ready die ik ook bij Baxshop gekocht heb, werkt dit natuurlijk super. Van latency merk ik er weinig van. Onlangs bij de repetitie uitgeprobeerd ontdekte ik dat de volumes van de verschillende klanken standaard niet gelijk zijn. Bij het snel wisselen van een instrument geluid dmv de voetpedalen klinkt 't plots harder dan de vorige. Dus het was wel even schrikken. Dit moet even aangepast worden in het "Edit"menu en dan moet 't voor mij klaar zijn voor de gig. Ook geweldig is de GR55 om zelf thuis op te nemen in je home-studio, want met de GR55 heb je ontzettend veel instrument in een kleine kast tot je beschikking. Geweldig toch? Al met al, ik ben zeer tevreden met de GR55. Ik hoef geen nadere uitleg meer te geven over de levering door Baxshop, toch?
