This product requires quite a lot of balancing the volume control on the guitar. Set to high, the device becomes confused and strange sounds come out of synth. Set too low and it misses the note you are playing. It therefore requires that you relearn your picking technique in order to get all the strings of the guitar to trigger the Sonuus g2m correctly. This would be a nightmare to use as a midi feed for notation software, if you didn't know music. However, if you knew music you wouldn't need the g2m.

Any features I wish it had? Maybe, an automatic gain control (aka compression) circuit would resolve some of the problems mentioned above. I thought it was a good secondary effect for using the strange patches found on synth modules that no one could ever figure out what they were used for, other than doing "B" rated Sci-Fi movies.

Not too easy to get the right sound. Even, when just using a plain piano sound, missed notes was quite common. And of course, it is not intended to be used for capturing more than one note at a time. Forget those accidental striking the adjecent string; it either cancels the note or there is more strangeness.

Small enough to put in your cigarette pocket.

Street price for a Roland Gk2 is about $170. The G2m was about $100, which one would you use? If guitar players never messed with volume pots while playing then maybe it would not be such a pain to keep operational, but we all twist the knobs to come out ahead of the front man.

I never was much into using forums. It takes to long to find a similar post. And how many musicians really want to spend the time looking stuff up, that are beyond the common problems.
