Distortion

GR-D V-Guitar Distortion

The Roland GR-D V-Guitar Distortion is a powerful V-Guitar technology housed in a Twin Pedal stompbox format, offering unique distortion and synth tones produced by independently processing each guitar string. It is designed for use with instruments that use Roland's GK pickup system, isolating the signal of each individual string and providing a wide range of fresh, bold sounds for the modern player's sonic arsenal. Key Features: \- GK Power in a Twin Pedal Stompbox \- Bold, high-clarity distortion and synth tones only possible with GK processing \- VG-DIST 1, VG-DIST 2, POLY DIST, and SYNTH sounds, with real-time DSP for latency-free performance \- Sculpt tones with ultra-responsive GAIN, COLOR, and TONE knobs \- Solo function for instant volume and presence boost for lead playing \- 13-pin GK input for use with the GC-1 GK-Ready Stratocaster, GK-3 Divided Pickup, and all GK-equipped guitars \- Flexible connections for easy integration with amps, pedals, and multi- effects \- Four user memories, with remote selection from GK-equipped guitar The GR-D V-Guitar Distortion offers a multitude of connections for integrating with different rigs, including pedalboards, multi-effects setups, racks, mixers, and other V-Guitar devices. It features a dual MIX/GUITAR INPUT for connecting devices and blending them with the GR-D sound, with the combined mix sent to the pedal’s mono/stereo output. The 13-pin GK output carries the guitar’s normal pickup signal as well, and controls on the GK-equipped guitar allow blending of the GK and normal sounds right from the instrument. The pedal also includes a dedicated GUITAR OUTPUT jack for connecting the normal guitar sound directly to an amp or effects with no GK processing applied. It can also be used in conjunction with the MIX/GUITAR INPUT to create a send/return loop for a normal effects chain. The GR-D V-Guitar Distortion is a versatile and powerful tool for guitarists looking to explore a wide range of distortion and synth tones with unprecedented clarity and control.
