Sound: Great versitility. Great solid state distorion tones. It can get a bit noisy but there is a built in noise suppressor which helps. Feature: Amazing quality effects. roland is A-1 in this are with a combo amp. the effects arfe top flight rack mount quality built in to the amp for simple use. There are many tonal amp and speaker models so READ the instructions on hos to get the different tones from the amp. Quality: this amp is solid through and through and for $530 bucks for the B-stock you can't go wrong! Value: Fantastic value. A ton of amp for your buck! Manufacturer Support: Roland is pretty hard to get a hold of but they seemed helpful when I called them. The Wow Factor: Fairly nice looking combo amp... some color choices would have been nice but then that's the case with moost amps... Overall: Just get the damn thing, you'll be glad you did!

Sound: I can't believe the accuracy that these guitar models possess. Truly stunning. Feature: I've been playing with this amp for 9 months now and I still haven't discovered everything that it can do. It has more features than I could dream up. Quality: Rock solid. Nothing less. Value: This is totally dependant upon your needs, but I believe it to be worth every penny I paid for it. Manufacturer Support: I've never had to use it, but from what I've known about Roland in the past I don't think I'd like the misfortune of having to use it. The Wow Factor: The guitar modeling feature of this amp puts it at an "11" on this scale. That feature is pure genius, and intuitively carried out. Overall: I have been completely satisfied with this product. I did my homework before choosing this amp so I knew what I was buying before hand. If you need versatility in an amp that matches the versatility in your music then this is the holy grail. If you need the absolute best in one style of music then go ahead and invest in the very best for you genre.

Sound: I just purchased this amp after purchasing the faulty Crate VTX200s. The effects on the new Crate Model would drop off at anytime, bad design poor quality. I played thru the VGA-7 about three years ago and liked it but at the time the amp was $1,295.00 pluus tax. so it was out of my budget. Plus I own a gt-6 and the gr-33 so I thought the amp was a little redundant to all my equipment. So i returned the crate vtx200s and went online and saw this amp on sale for $525.00 and almost crapped my pants. The cleans on this amp are pristine when used with the chourus, the acoustic models and 12 strings are top notch. The effects are typical boss simple phaser, flanger, comp, slow gear but are simple and effective. I an using this amp with a Brian Moore i2 13 and it tracks very well in the gk input. This amp alone is a JC-120, Fender Twin, and easily an old Marshall tube combo, very nice amp. Feature: I have owned most of the modeling amps out there, I have owned a vox valvetronix, nice on its own but horrible when you add your own floor effects. I had a pod xt live floorboard and hated it, the worst digital sound I have ever heard. This amp amp excells in simplicity. Choose your guitar model, choose your amp, choose your tuning, and then add effects wahhh laaaahhh, no rocket science but nice clean useable tone. The cleans on this amp are special, and they are worth double just for the cleans and acoustic variations. As for the heavey distortion tube sound its not there, but with all roland and boss products, every model they do has a sweet spot, and its a matter of finding which amp model suits you best, and saving its sweet spot and learning thru trial an era. I have owned a boss gt-3, gt-6, and now have the gt-8, and all roland boss and effects have there drawbacks, but they are good tools to use and the parameters are class in achieving any sweet spot, you have to learn the gear. One thing i can say about boss and roland is there equipment last for years if you take care of it, they are definatley work horses. Quality: Solid at 85lbs. with casters and an extra gk-2 cord. I think Roland has discontinued this model, so they must be releasing there new V-Line pretty soon, Probally new VG-88 and new VGA-amps. They are probally going to introduce there twin cosm amp models like on the gt-8. Value: At five hundred and change this is the best bang for the buck and blows any modeling combo away hands down, especially Line6 garbage. Overall: If you want a nice giging amp or a nice combo amp to pair up with a JC-120 this is it. I am definatley thinking of selling my Marshall and Pairing up a Jc-120 with this amp. This way i can run acoustic through one side and distortion thu the jc-120. I hope roland evolves on this vga technology, I think in years to come it will become a standard for automatic tunings, 12string and acoustic layering, and choosing your guitar all on the fly. Its getting there year by year, and it getting pretty usable the closer we get. All in all a great amp to get before there all gone, I wont regret it at all.

Value: the amp is worth every penny and id buy 5 more just to keep them in different studios i work out of Manufacturer Support: they are verybusy i think they could get some more people to handel the workload The Wow Factor: very schiek Overall: i cant imagine looking to get more out of any amp

Sound: All what you will ever need...Actually you can use ALL the presets Feature: Incl. GK-2a Quality: This will last forever Value: For this price it's just...priceless Manufacturer Support: Excellent...got a midi implementation sheet from the support dept in no time The Wow Factor: If u like the Roland Jazz Chorus look - this one got it Overall: Pros: 1. Its just have tons of variations in the tone. 2. the preset are GOOD - even the NYLON is GOOD (people are complaining about the nylon classic sound - I find it usable, it sounds like a closeup micked classic guitar to me) 3. the accoustic sounds great 4. the heavy les paul in marshall/soldano/vox amps just screams! 5. fender strat sound in fender amps... 6. nice clean sounds (of cource roland JC-120) - but also machless just kicks 7. if you had a bad day - just switch over to does droped tuned metalized killer zone... Cons: 1.The volume seems a bit low -since I most of the time has it at around '2' or '3' o clcok - but this is moe related to that the master volume is a bit linear - you have to tweak all the pre-amp settings to get it to play load. 2.The cable gets to easily twisted 3. you will need a separate volume control EV-5 in the back of the unit to make sure you have the volume under control while shifting presets - and of course an extra midi footswitch - ex behringer fcb-1010 4. its HEAVY - it could be chopped off with a saw, making it a amp + cabinet with a decent amp-connector in between...

Sound: This amp is awesome. You can almost sound like any guitar part you are trying to emulate because this amp is so flexible. Feature: Tons of flexibility. But a few expensive accessories are required. I also own 2 Roland guitar synths so I had to buy the Roland GPK-4 parallel box (about $120), also bought the FC-200 midi foot controller (about $350). I also bought a Fender/Roland Ready Strat (about $600). Quality: This amp is made very well. I own 2 of these amps and I piggyback them together. They are heavy though. You can't be cheap (because of the accessories) or a sissy (they weigh 83 lbs each) to own and use these amps on the road. Value: Depending on how flexible you are as a musician, this amp will do it all. I've owned mine for 2 years now and I to this day still get excited at the thought of playing through this amp. Manufacturer Support: Roland is a great company to deal with. I upgraded to a newer operating system (a new sound board) on the amp and Roland paid for everything. The Wow Factor: This amp looks like something out of a computer room but it really is easy to use. Overall: I really don't know how Roland could improve upon this amp. It literally does it all. I know of no product on the market the even comes close.

Sound: bad sounds the emulator really sucks, I tried using it with other effects processors through the power amp to make it worth while but still had problems with dirty sounds Feature: Can only really be used with the VGA system so if you dont own it the amp is useless. Ease of Use: Pretty complicated to work if you dont have the correct hardware to use it with. Quality: Its a roland so its tough but digital is not their best trade. Value: you can pick one up for less than 100 if you look well enough.
