Roland GR-55S

Inside the GR-55 is a triple sound generation of two PCM synthesizers (with more than 900 sounds from the latest Roland synthesizer technology) and a sound chain with COSM guitar/bass/synth/amp modeling (from the VG-99, including one-touch retuning). Thanks to years of research, the GR-55 has the absolute fastest and safest tone detection for the synth sounds, and the modeling sounds have always been completely latency-free!

In addition to the inexhaustible sound combinations, the GR-55 offers other groundbreaking features: Playback of audio data from a USB stick (via footswitch, ideal for playbacks), two multi-effects processors, 20-second looper on board, USB interface for audio and MIDI, simplest operation with "Easy Edit" function and an extra large display.
