Details
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. Itís easy!
Rolandís Finest Sounds with Exceptional Tracking
At the heart of the GR-20 is an advanced sound engine based
on Rolandís 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 sitaróall with
adjustable attack and releaseóthereís no limit to what you can
do. Sophisticated DSP makes the GR-20ís pitch detection ultra-reliable,
so you can strum with confidence.
Take Your Guitar Playing Further
Want to create a sound thatís all your own? Try blending the
natural sound of your guitar pickups with the GR-20. Thankfully,
the GK-3 Divided Pickup makes this easy via a larger and smoother
GK knob. Imagine playing chords and then slowly fading in a
swirling, breathy pad to create intensity. Or how about playing
a distorted lead on your guitar with a thick synth lead sound?
Now take this a step further with the GR-20ís Patch Link function.
This allows you to easily assign GR-20 Patches to match effect
Patches in MIDI-capable processors like the BOSS GT-6. Itís
the ultimate system for serious guitarists.
Includes the New GK-3 Divided Pickup
When you buy a GR-20, you also get a GK-3 Divided Pickup and
GK cable in the box. In other words, everything you need to
start playing synth sounds is included! The GK-3 is 30 percent
thinner than its predecessor, and it now uses a 1/4-inch jack
for normal guitar input. The pickup includes an adjustable curve
design to keep an even distance between the strings for better
response (the pickup cable length is also adjustable). Owners
of Les Paul-type guitars can install the GK-3 safely without
drilling using a special attachment plate included in the box.
