  • Excellent product!

    If you only buy one electronic synthesizer, make the GR-55 your choice. With over 900 tones that you can mix and match in infinite combinations, you'll never be needing to find "just the right sound" again. I love the extra attention to guitar matching with pickups and amps. It gives you the possibility to play any guitar sound. I also like the fact that you can tune each individual string up or down four octaves. I have my GR-55 set up with a Fender GC-1, which is a factory Stratocaster modified with a GK-3 module built into the body, synth controls right by the volume knobs and a 13 pin connection. Once the guitar is set up properly, and the GR-55's setup is done, the GR-55 is extremely responsive. Whether you're a novice or an old pro, the GR-55 has it all.

  • A plethora of musical instruments and sounds all played from a guitar.

    The GR-55 with the GK pickup allowed me to learn the synth patches and features right away without having to buy a dedicated guitar with built-in GK pickup. Installing the GK pickup and configuring it was fairly easy but it takes some time. (my experience was it's easiest to install it on a Strat.) I haven't yet modeled my own patches there's so many pre-programmed ones that sound great. Attention: you must learn how to play certain patches by modifying your touch and speed and play carefully to avoid mistakes. For example legato playing doesn't work on certain patches very well. It's like if you're playing a flute you play the strings like a flautist plays notes, or with sampled piano patches you play notes and chord voicing differently to make it sound better. But it's difficult to do high speed runs on patches based off of sampled instruments. You have to adapt to all different types of patches. For me that's a challenge and very fun. *I use GarageBand as a DAW on my iMac M1 with MacOS 15 and I couldn't get good tracking on many patches though USB audio connection, it was way too slow, so I had to connect to my digital audio interface with a guitar cable from the output on the GR-55. It works great that way, tracking is fast, you can shred with many of the patches. I haven't tested it with an amp because I have tube amps (solid state amps for synths is best) and I also don't have a PA system but I heard it's best through a PA connected stereo.

  • Don't get your hopes up.

    After watching the demo from Namm on youtube you think it's going to be awesome. There's a reason he doesn't demo the piano, strings and only demos the amp modeling and guitar features. The tracking on the piano and strings aren't good. False triggers and ghost notes all over the place. It's still pretty awesome though. But I mainly bought it for recording piano and strings for my project. But the bass sounds are awesome I use it all the time and the guitars features are cool. It's great for creating atmospheres ect. I guess it just depends on the features you need. There is a learning curve so keep that in mind. I don't regret buying it though I still use it all the time.

  • GR55 Smoking

    There are many, many different sounds that can be produced with the GR55. Most of the factory presets are much the same but it is very easy to customize your own. The very thing you have to do is setup your Godin or GK3 pickup to match your playing. It is factory set way to high and your get a lot of false notes but it is correct with a simple sensitivity setting which takes about 60 seconds. This takes the place of 100's of individual pedals. The sax, flute, strings sound real and is great for back ground tracks. The drums are a joke but the other available synths are perfect.

  • So far so good !

    Built well, very solid. I am an old guy and not very experienced with this type pedal. But I seem to be understanding how to move around it. Just going to take some time to create my own sounds. The presets are all pretty good as they are, some maybe a little over the top for me. Best part for me is with the guitar out,I can just add it to my other pedals as I get use to switching sounds. If I can use it, anybody can. Pick up was an easy install on a strat type guitar. Looks like it would be ok on Les Paul type also. Maybe a little more adjustment than the strat.

  • Great product for those with an arranger's ear or those looking for new live sound tools.

    Critiquing of sounds is very subjective but, overall, the sounds are excellent. There are a handful I will modify more to my taste. My only slightly negative initial observation is how the sounds are grouped together. For instance, I'd like to see all acoustic guitar sounds grouped closer together. But perhaps I'm simply too inexperienced with the product and too early on in the learning curve to see the big picture the programmers were working from. While the GK3 pickup works well with most of the sounds I'm interested in, I think when I convert to a Ghost piezo pickup the results will be stellar, making all of the sounds completely useable. I will mainly be using the product with a Ghost converted nylon string guitar

  • Really interesting sounds preset but so many to chose from.

    Really nice synth for my godin guitar. One thing is it is pretty complicated and capable of any sound you can imagine. So far all I have had time to do is just plug it in to my guitar and use my headphones to listen to the existing presets. So many to choose from. once I get a chance I will experiment with shaping a sound I am looking for but understand there is an extensive learning curve and at my age if I don't use it I would loose it so if I could get what I want without having to spend many hours studying and trying to adjust the sound I want it would be easier. Oh I really didn't need the added pickup but do have another guitar I may mount it to.

  • COSM modeling is really a dream, creatin...

    COSM modeling is really a dream, creating amazing textures out of every little guitar noise. This thing tracks PERFECTLY (compared to my GR-1) . Look for GR-55s with a GR-55GK-BK 2 line serial code sticker. These are the newest models and should have the best condition. (Thing has been in production for 15 years).

  • Instrument or novelty?

    I bought this device to use with bass. The interface is fairly easy to click around, but some basic set-up info is not easily found. The biggest problem for me as a player, is the lack of usable sounds. I expected a usable Moog style bass but found only a handful of extremely buzzy novelty sounds. Despite titles with “upright” in them, there is nothing close to a useable faux upright sound. I’ve just loaded some of the Roland celebrity sounds and they too are unusable for supportive bass work. I don’t aspire to program...am I just out of the loop?

  • It's everything

    U can play any instrument thru this & heavy weights are relying on this to do background scores for music. All u need to make music with unimaginable instrument soundscapes. Must have for all guitar slingers. It just opens up everything with a new aproach to instrument design
