Roland?s Finest Sounds with Exceptional Tracking

At the heart of the GR-20 is an advanced sound engine based on Roland?s 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 sitar?all with adjustable attack and release?there?s no limit to what you can do. Sophisticated DSP makes the GR-20?s pitch detection ultra-reliable, so you can strum with confidence.

Take Your Guitar Playing Further

Want to create a sound that?s 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-20?s Patch Link function. This allows you to easily assign GR-20 Patches to match effect Patches in MIDI-capable processors like the BOSS GT-8. It?s 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.

Updater for Bass Compatibility
An updater that will make the GR-20 compatible with bass is available for download from "Downloads" page. With GI-20 equivalent playability, bass players have their fingers on the expressive synth sounds of the GR-20. Equip a divided picked for bass, and they will be ready to enter the synth world.
