Guitar SYNTH/MODELER Users Thread

[markcasq]

Thanks markcasq for leading me to this thread.

This is what ive been using for my synth needs.

Fender American Standard with GK-3


SYNTH/GUITAR HYBRID BOARD. Roland GR-20 and Line 6 M9. This is my simplified board for easy setups. Pero madalas dala ko yung full pedalboard sa sahig lang yung synth 

Nice rig brandey!  Even if gr55 can do what m9 does, better pa din quality ng m9 for sure.  At last, may bagong rig sharing na din sa thread na to, hehe.

first time I've read Korn and church in one post.

so pag may gusto bumili ng high gain pedals tapos for church daw, si mark na un 

Haha, napaka creative, mo talaga kernel. Sayang nga e, bawal distortion sa church.

Para saan ba guitar out ng roland gr55? nasa gr55 rin ba ang features sa GR33?

Dun lumalabas ang guitar signal para pwede mo i-connect sa guitar effects / amp of you want the synth/modeller separate from the true guitar sound

[brandey]

Bro nararanasan mo rin ba na minsan hindi lahat ng strings tumutunog? Nagiging problem ko kasi yun lately. I think dun sa input ng GK cable s synth ko. I already tried spraying it with contact cleaner pero minsan nangyayari parin.

Di pa naman bro. Baka GK cable yung problem? Test mo with multi tester

buti nakita ko tong thread na to, hanep yung tracking ng fishman triple play mukhang tatalunin yung GK3

! kaso parang wala pang pitch bend. uuwi kasi sa holidays yung tiyuhin ko eh magpapabili na sana ako ng GR20 or GR55 kaso mukhang mas ok tong gawa ng fishman saka mas mura. na try ko na dati yung lumang gk2 thru roland GI-10 (guitar midi interface) derecho sa roland mc-50 kaso may mga stray notes pag nag rerecord ng midi data lalo pag chords or kahit single notes (example: bass line or other instrument solos with or without pitch wheel events) so isa isa ko pang binubura yung mga notang di kasali (yung muted notes kahit di masyadong dinig lumalabas pa rin as midi data so medyo madumi kaya kelangan tanggalin). yung fishman mukhang nasolusyunan tong issue na to.

shempre pareho lang tayo ng pinanggalingan eh.. hail hail.. 

BTT: natry ko na ung synth/modeler ni mark galing nga.. talk about being versatile 

[glassjaw_jc]

Has anyone tried the Roland VG-99/VB-99?

Yup, looks promising yung fishman, hindi ko maisip pano magagawa yung ginawa sa demo ng guy.  He was not careful at all, pero sakto yung tracking.  I think that's the reason why Roland included guitar modelling sa GR55 para at least may other usable features given the tracking issues.  Pero what I discovered is maganda sa LP bridge yung Roland, better tracking the closer you get to the bridge.  You can only do that sa LP bridge.

Haha, anu ba yung tinugtog natin nun?  Sweet Child na naka acoustic modeller, hehe.   Maganda sana yung dead or alive, 12-string guitar with wind and juju.  Panalo.

[brandey]

Bro yung mga acoustic models ba ng GR55 minsan hindi sakto ang tracking? Pinagpipilian ko kase ngayon kung bili ako ng gr55 or install nlng ako ng PIEZO saddles for acoustic sounds.

Pag models, no tracking yun, instantaneous yung tunog nya.  Saka hindi lang acoustic ang ginagawa ng modelling, pati 12-string, Les Paul model, strat, tele, etc.  Then you can change the tuning, pwedeng baritone, drop D, Eb tuning, and no tracking to be considered.  Sa midi/synth sounds lang applicable ang tracking.  Yung piezo, isa lang pwede mo magawa dun, so suggest ko GR55 na lang, since may GK-3 ka na din naman.

[jazhombie]

Post some demo or vids na rin so we can see how your setup sounds.

NICE GAS na talaga ako sa gr55 Sana maglabas rin ang boss na GR20 sized na version ng GR55 or better yet kahit VG models lang. Need ko  talaga yung acoustic tones. Nahihirapan na kasi ako mag bitbit ng acoustic and electric with pedalboard sa gig

Sana pati Line6 maglabas narin ng Floor based unit ng Variax Isa pa sa GAS ko ngayon yung James Tyler variax!!!

Yeah, o nga e, medyo malaki ang board ng GR55, pero nandun na kasi lahat, even yung mga effects ng GT series, meron din, like amp modelling, stomp boxes, and mga weird modulations and delay like slicer.

medyo na GAS din ako sa James Tyler variax, pero kasi nao obsolete kasi.

[reji05ramos]

Hi, I'm planning on buying a line6 fm4 tanong ko lang kung ano pang similar pedals sa kanya that offer the same same effects but on a smaller chassis.

Up ko lang question ko, baka sakaling may nakaka alam.

[brandey]

Up ko lang question ko, baka sakaling may nakaka alam.

Di ako masyadong familiar sa Line 6 FM4. Sa pagkakaalam ko isa yun sa unang filter modelers nila. Try mo yung Line 6 Otto Filter. Stompbox size siya pero  auto wah filter lang sya. Yung Line 6 M9 marami siyang filter models. Kung gusto mong mas maliit pa yung Line 6 M5.

[jannten]

synth/modeller din ba ung korg kp3?

dati kasi roland din gamit ng muse nung naguumpisa palang sila ngaun ung korg na.

[BlackDiamond]

New - black GR-55.  This looks a lot better than the blue one.. looks like the finish is the same as ME-70.  I guess Roland realized that many people might prefer black vs. blue.

after you demo how your guitar synth work (napa-WOW ako nun! swabe yung tone plugged in to your KB amp) when we met weeks ago and seeing that it's now available in black. bumalik yung GAS ko! LOL!

after checking the price (I don't have an idea of the pricing of a guitar synth, I thought parang multi-effects lang and mas mahal ng konti)...

http://www.zzounds.com/item--ROLGR55

hindi pala biro price niyan. My GAS went pfffft! hahaha

[markcasq]

Haha, pero mas mura ko nakuha akin sa rmcaudio, malakas sila mag discount e. Sagot pa nila yung transfer fee. $719 vs $799. Although nabawi din sa shipping to philippines. But still mura na din, hehe.

bought my ROLAND GR-30 from sir moncseb medyo sensitive lang talaga gk cables no?
ininstall ko yung GK-2A pickup sa ibanez rg350dx ko, mejo nakakapanibago yung setup kasi nasanay ako mabababa yung string height. ngayon kailangan ko magadjust kasi pag di ko tinaasan, hindi magkakasya yung divided pick-up, puro buzz...
naiisip kong solution, magugupit ako ng pickguard ko pra mejo bumaba yung GK-2A pick-up...

ah, saka isa pa hindi ka makakapag pull up ng trem bar pag may GK.  Kaya nilipat ko yung GK ko to a fixed bridge guitar
