Latest craigslist hunt in Apr. 2013. The current ultimate GK modeling multi-effect processor. This thing can do alot.
Roland's flagship bass processor came out in around 2009. Dual COSM processing engine which means you can have 2 independent signal chain(sounds) stacked to form the 1 patch. Which is not something new as in 2013. However, with a GK equipped instrument(GK3, GK3-B divided pickup) through the 13pin cable. This box can do the following things:
- polyphonic synth, a synth that works
- bass/guitar modeling, it has upright bass, a few electrics such as jazz, precision, musicman, gibson, hofner, and other custom setup.
- a multi-effect for the bass's magnetic pickup itself
plus you can blend any of the things above. pretty much everything is tweak-able, way too much imo.
The thing it doesn't do:
it is not a have PCM bank, it doesn't have sample libraries for things such as piano, horn, and other samples or sounds. You'll required an external sound module / or laptop.
By the way, the tracking on this is flawless, there's no noticeable latency.
Might need to spend quiet sometime playing around, thanks for checking!
