Overview
Expanding Your Guitar's Possibilities
The Roland VG-8 is a breakthrough guitar processor that uses advanced modeling technology to emulate the most popular guitars and amplifiers in music history, as well as produce some unique new sounds of its own. Thanks to Roland's Composite Object Sound Modeling (COSM) technology, the VG-8 combines multiple "sound objects" - different guitar bodies, pickups, vintage and modern amplifiers, and effects algorithms - to create a perfect reproduction of these components that can be played from any steel-stringed guitar equipped with a Roland GK-2A or compatible pickup.
Since the VG-8 uses the actual guitar waveform itself, all the nuances of picking, bending, and even the simplest vibrations are perfectly translated without any tracking delay. This amazing system has now been updated to include new acoustic and hollow-body models, pickup variations, amp variations, and more.
Self-contained guitar processing/modeling system which recreates a wide variety of guitar, amp, speaker cabinet, and microphone sounds using a standard electric guitar equipped with a GK-2A or compatible pickup.
Now includes a variety of hollow-body and acoustic guitar models for instant switching between electric and acoustic guitar sounds.
HRM (Harmonic Restructure Modeling) allows guitarists to create new synth-type sounds while preserving a guitar's natural expression.
Converts the actual waveform produced by each guitar string into a totally new sound in realtime;… read more no tracking delay or lost playing nuances.
Polyphonic Intelligent Pitch Shifter instantly recreates the sound of user-defined and open tunings, 12-string guitars, bass guitar emulation, etc.
Superb onboard digital effects processing includes reverb, chorus, hexa-pan, delay, and parametric EQ - all available simultaneously.
Extremely intuitive operation with helpful operational graphics and icons.
Offers 160 Preset and 64 User patches total, including newly-developed factory patches.
Compatible with optional VG8D-1 and 2 patch cards and M-512E memory cards for additional storage.
