Roland GR55.........

Postby ecca » Wed Jan 11, 2012 8:52 pm

I've had a Roland GR55 guitar synth which is out of this world.
It's the fifth guit synth I've had and it combines the qualities of the guitar synth with the Roland VG8.
This means that you can emulate guitars as well as play trumpets etc.
I've also discovered that you can put in Meazzi head timings and set up a very passable strat that does a very passable Wonderful Land echo.
I took it to the Hankies last night and the buggers chatted on regardless whilst chomping on cheese cobs which meant they liked it.
Just a thought,
Ecca

The throwing of a cob at a person has been known at the Hankies.

Throw it ! I'd rather eat mine - as I did, it was the biz.
I was expecting you to play again Ecca as you'd been on by the time I arrived, I would like to have heard the guitar synth in the flesh. 8-)
