For all dtails techniques and possibilities, I invite you browse the site of Roland Europe. Everything is there!

UTILIZATION

The use is very simple. Ms. APRS going through the manual, everything is done to intuitively navigate.
No worries on that cot l.

GETTING STARTED

So this is the section most critical for those who want a possder GR33.

Strengths:
The quality of sound is indniable Roland, as usual. Effects (which are assigned only to the sounds of synthse not the guitar!) Trs are good and the good quality over say anything either. Despite the appearance of plastic pdalier, this is trs solid ... but I do not invite you to drop it because I fear the worst. The arpgiateur and Harmony are good penss patants and trs. The volume is gniale pedals and can control many paramtre ... even a bit because it wants to own a deuxime or three in order to change the sound desired.

Weaknesses:
Latency Latency ... always. The Roland has screwed over the g. ..... e guitarists because even with my GR300, 1982, uptake and mission are the same sounds believe they have nothing done to resolve this issue during these 24 years! ! ... So if you want to play and get no delay, this is not the GR33 that you bring.
The arpgiateur has a big default: the volume. You can not paramtrer the volume of arpgiateur, so that when you snap your sacred surprises Difference volumes.
Speaking of volume, here is a big shit that Roland has not seen. Let me explain:
If you connect the GR33 end loop noon (so as slave noon) you use your guitar volume pedals (other than the pdalier GR33) that such a connection PDAL possde twelve o'clock (which is most of the time), then on channel 07 CC, AUTOMATIC ds you will press the pedals the GR33 will engage even if you middle of the sensor synth position = guitar> The GR33 dclenche the synth and you hear it every time ... is a, it's a hell of a bug shit (I know I said dj ).

OVERALL OPINION

I use the GR33 since 2001. Despite the weaknesses deficits above, the GR33 is never crashes and behaves quite well on scne.
But I look forward SYNTHE GUITAR who has more latency. I have doubts about the future because Yamaha does not do anything in this field, as j'espre ROLAND we will release a new product and more powerful gun, but I'm afraid of a new "dobe" or product of a "dead-nquot;.
In any case I will not make that choice.
on the other hand, if readers posssseur friendly and a rack AXON MKII could give me advice and guidance on this type of product, I am the costs. Indeed, I would like to know if this is trs rack synth performance.
Thank you.
