Value For Money : Excellent
Guitar synth on top as usual with Roland. With GK2 (optional) extra and a well-ordered guitar or a guitar that already have the sensor from the factory (Godin, Strato ...), a must. All controls are easy and we manufacture patches with onions if only one takes time to adapt them to his songs. In addition, we get the normal sound of your guitar via the GR30 and the sounds are not changed either. We just mix the guitar sound and sounds of the GR30. Hello Pat Metheny sound! There is so much to say about this device that only a lengthy trial can say more. The arpeggiator is also at the top: an agreement is ginned and the GR30 does the rest by continuing arpeggios while playing it .... In addition the unit is a foot and was to be cuckolded utuilisé on stage. Although platic, it is strong enough to hold concerts.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple since we take the time to read the manual, in French very well designed. All editions are simple and you can mix two different sounds if you want. Patches of plants are in any way good enough to use as is. If you want to save, we choose an instrument (or more) and all settings (EQ, pitch, reverb, delay, transfer ... you can do everything with as close to the instruments chosen. Live, it will be worth better to make patches that will be tailored to their songs. The only lack is a pedal assignment in ance (it is on the GR33), but you can still connect to the proper receptacle one.

GETTING STARTED

The sounds are very eclectic and suitable for all styles. They are very realistic, but some require an adaptation of the game (including pianos). It's always the same with guitar synths. but the GR30 with its many settings can adapt the game with a lot of parameters. In addition, dropouts are rare sound when playing clean. on the other hand, wind instruments, violins, strings, synths ... are at the top and play on the neck of his guitar encourages realism. Whether one plays fingers with a pick, with the teeth (?), It does. All mixtures of sounds are good and there is happiness everywhere. My favorite sounds are the wind instuments (you can really keep the expression of a fluid guitar playing), the synthesizers of all kinds, the voices ,.... short almost everything so the choice is vast and beautiful.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 years and no problems to date (other than a loose connection on the GK2, but with a guitar where it is integrated, I think that there is no problem. It is true that This sensor takes a little place outside of the guitar. But it has the advantage of being removed and used on a sound example. anyway, the guitar synth has some inconvénnients, but they are small report to the satisfaction made. The value for money is excellent and it is very cheap for all that a. I think this is the only model at this price can bluff the players hard. If c ' had to be rebuilt, it's eyes closed as I will redeem
