I can't believe no one clapped. Great playing, great demo.

Masterful demo, Gundy! Bravo!

Gundy you and Ron Marcello's demo of the Roland VG-99.... Thank You, I Love It!!! The altered tuning capabilities it offers I absolutely love!!! I wish I could get some of those patches for my VG-99.

Superb Gundy! Awesome guitarist!

Wow, he should have gotten way more applause. I just bought one of these things and it's out of this world. I'm just an intermediate player, a little over two years of practicing and after i got this, it opened up a whole new world of playing styles for me. It takes a little while to get used to using it, it does have a learning curve, but the good thing about that, being positive, is that it's FUN to play around with, even if you are just noodeling around looking for that certain sound and you can create your own patches over pre set ones, to make your own and it does it so good, that there is NO latency, and of course you can create your own patches from scratch. I like to play stuff like Genesis's old tunes and this thing is right on the money if you want to emulate Steve Hackett. Using the 4 separate patches at once, you can create almost anything you want to, or can think of. If you are thinking about getting one, remember that you do have to mount the GK3 pick up on your guitar and you have an option to actually drill holes into the body of the guitar to hold the mount, but they supply sticky pad's for the same thing, and they work really well as the unit is also mounted from the strap knob hole and supported under the body of the guitar. I put a piece of felt under the body support so it didn't scratch my PRS and you can also use the sticky pad's for mounting the unit to the guitar and they will come off clean if you want to remove them. Personally I am NOT drilling holes in my expensive guitar. Although setting the unit up is not very hard, and installing the pick up is easier that it look's, I still brought it to my guitar guy to do it all for me and it was only 50.00 for the whole job, and he actually went through it with me so I had a good understanding of how to use it. I say if you know what yer doing then save the cash, but if your anything like me and these sort of gadget's, I'd bring it to someone who know's what they are doing so you can plug and play. One other thing is that it also requires you to learn new picking styles. Over all I love the thing ,and it was all right around a grand for everything.

I may cry. I only found out about this technology yesterday and I now own one. This is the fuuuuture

Very good demo !!!!!!!!!!!! I have a gr55 and I am still learning it !!!!!!!!! It is amazing!!!!!!!Thank you,SIR!!!!!!!!

Great guitarist! Wish I can learn to use my GR-55 like that!

Awesome demo!😎

This was a great demo, the last tune was fun, played with great energy, but man what a dead crowd! Thanx

This Dude is a FUNKY BEAST!! Basically on the last song he became Tower of Power all by his damn self!!! :-) I'm diggin' it! I just got this unit for my Godin A5 Fretless bass, and I'm just scratching the surface of what this thing is capable of!! I'm also a trumpet player, and I fully intend to use this thing to fatten up my horn arrangements on recordings!!

This guy has a large number of genres at his finger tips with the help of the GR55 of course. Very enjoyable.

Killer Gundy....fab Demos and Ace playing.

That's so awesome I'll be buying one soon

People complain about the sounds. The built-in ones ARE cheesy, but get one. Spend a long time with it and tweak the patches A LOT (you can save/rename them to 'User' slots). Dampen both the extraneous resonances on your strings and elsewhere on the guitar to lessen mis-triggers. Clean up your playing! Mis-triggers mostly happen because you are sloppy and touch stuff that you didn't intend to. Get Floorboard - the menus are deep. DO NOT USE A GUITAR AMP - use a good PA. After that (6 months to a year later?), you'll realise how good it is.

Top Gundy,amazing .

Nice Job Gundy!!

Great demo - Gundy is always awesome! But a tough crowd!

it is very interesting stuff, and from around 13'00 it gets super cool !

This guy must have felt he was in Hell with a load of zombies. Utter nightmare. Kudos to him for being upbeat and making the demo fun. His solo at 11:18 is amazing, no wonder he challenged the audience, good for him!

12:10 Poor guy - audience must be full of Line 6 reps.

Es una maquina lkena de creatividad tanto para nuevos sonidos como para sonidos vintages. pero para resultados 100% creibles hay que programar y explorar. pero con dedicacion se consiguen grandes y versatiles resultados.

Amazing!!!!!!

virtuoos fantastich mooie sound!!!!

Kraft Music rocks😎

Is the incredible talent included in the box?

That is cool and fun good playing. (Much clapping and whistling!!!)

i've been using this for about 6years now...and i dont want to let it go coz i love the versatility specially for me like playing a lot of covers...,but im really waiting for ROLAND to have a wireless system for this unit like FISHMAN TRIPLE PLAY DID....i always having trouble with their 13pin cable because its get break or damaged so EASILY like after 1 or 2 months of usage.. even i really taking care of the cable..hopefully ROLAND company WILL hear me out.

I'm so glad we have the SY-1000 these days which uses the same pickup technology but sounds way better

Glad you enjoyed the video. I hope you consider purchasing the GR55 from Kraft Music :) We have the units in stock, ready to ship out. We also have a PEDAL PAK that adds some extra accessories for a great discount price and FREE SHIPPING! Feel free to contact us at the number below or visit kraft music dot com.

@hedgehogwarrior Depends on what guitar you have. If you get the 13 pin pick-up added on to your guitar, your normal guitar signal goes through the GR-55. Unless if you bought some 1/4 cord that had 1 input and 2 outputs, then your regular guitar signal wont be touched. Guitars with built in 13-pin puckups have at least 2 inputs. one for 13 pin and one for 1/4. I Had a 13 pin added on and it was interferring with my strings, so i took it of. I will be buying a new guitar with 13-pin built in.

Does this have syhth lead sounds like youd hear in stratovarious, rhapsody of fire, sonata arctica? like that power metal keyboard solo sounds?

Is there any problem with latency ou low tracking in GR 55? Have someone of you ever compared this to other GRs such as 20 , 30, 33 or any other guitar synthesizer? It seems to me that GR33 sound more “fat” sound... And how about all those guitar and amp simulations? Are they really good? I mean, could someone compare to VG 88, for example? I Just can’t try one of these alive. Thanks for the answer!

Don't have one of these but man, this is very impressive! Great demo! Cool vid! I'm very interested getting one 2nd hand and learn how to use it properly and efficiently. These are still over 400 pounds on eBay. The GR33 is cheaper, equally great!?

Regarding the pickup options mentioned at 3:05, hopefully, the Roland GK kit is still available so that an internal pickup can also be installed?

One thing that I did notice was that in many occasions, he was covering the top E string with his thmb, I am assuming to prevent the E string from emitting unwanted signal to the synth. If you look at when he is playing Pat Metheny licks, you can really see him doing this. Try doing this yourself, this is very hard to do.

sounds good ! how much is it?

@Glasweegyan That was a great patch he was using too! Poor Gundy!

Hello, I'm planning to buy this unit for my ZT-3 Custom. Will it affect my normal guitar tone? Will I be able to have "untouched" guitar signal going to my amp? Is it possible to completely turn the pick up off when I need a normal sound (I don't really want to use COSM, only synths). Also, should I consider to install it to ZT-3 or it's better use some other cheaper guitar. I just really don't wanna ruin my Steinberger tone-wise. Thanks.

11:20 is the tone I've been after for ages. This could convince me to buy a GR-55 from Kraft Music, however, I'd like to know which patch this is :) Is it external / internal to the GR-55 / custom?

this has convinced me to purchase the gr55 but do they sell them at guitar center?

is that from user that you have modified your self or the standard sounds in the box from the store?

Dear Kraft Music, Are these patches available in some form? I'd slave away to recreate them if I had any idea what he was doing to get them. Sincerely, Audiophiles Everywhere.

Please ,How makes this sustain at 6:30 ?

9:40 is Epic

Hi, All the patches and artists sound´s come within the GR or do you have to programing them

What make is the drum machine?

some questions... can you turn off the amp modeling stuff so you can just use your regular amp sounds. Also, can it have a separate output for acoustic and synth sounds to go to an acoustic amp?

Plz loop setting video

so sorry your crowd were crap,you done well

I think that sounds like that would be a nice rig. The GR55 should take care of every sound and effect you need. It's an awesome piece. Feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns. - Dave McCullough Kraft Music Marketing (800)783-3368

I got one in the January sales. I get a nice E.L.O sound ;o)

Is he playing all by preset sounds?

Estas pedaleras son fenomenales en sonido y Fx pero tienen un gran pero gran problema cuando se cambia de banco o preset tienen un silencio de milésimas que en la musica es una eternidad en el minuto 1:32 cuando entra al estribillo se nota a lo que me refiero.

Tough audience!

What the hell is the song at 430? Pink floyd?

would be nice if we actualy could see him switch buttons. We only get to hear stuff. makes me as a "crouwd" verry board!

Thats it im selling the mesa!!

Love this for when i need to play cheezy crap music!

I feel the scarf is a little unneccessary

i think the amp sims are horrible. but that being said i wouldnt use it for guitar sounds. i would mix the synth sounds with real guitar. i think the sound engine has a nice cheezy selection to get creative with. i think in the right hands it could really be a great source of inspiration. the presets absolutely suck. i bet the right person could really create some new shit with this. its actually a pretty good sound engine. the key is thinking like the instrument and learning about the true feel of the instrument sounds u are playing. u cant just put on a sound and noodle guitar riffs. if u are composing a horn section u have to know how to arrange horns...

non è per niente comunicativo

Ever try attaching the little plastic pickup? Tape?..forget it. Get out some screws and start drilling. They can create sonic snake oil but not solve the problem...but why bother? You can just buy more stuff!! Also; notice that no representaions of actual musical instruments are used in this demonstration. In a day and age when guitar is about as exciting and novel as refrigerators it's generally a poor investment...but the fun factor is good.

That was awsome but Im still not buying one

All these pedals were created for rock the majority only have overdrive to make noise not music the Roland i think the GR 55 with some different effects, but all in common as the the Boss nothing good if you are a blue rock thrush buy but for me not worth anything else hire good guitarists to fool.

Can that thing fix a poodle hairdo? …and the Euro Trash clothes…look in the mirror guitar juke box guy. So, this machine lets you get yourself ready for a Cruise Ship gig, but then many artists just want their sound and don't need to imitate everyone else. If I wanted to get all these sounds I'm play a keyboard Synth…but I love guitar too much.
