I have been playing guitar for 30 years and this guy is one of the few that has inspired me recently. His attitude, demeanor and persona seems totally honest and unpretentious. Thanks for the boost, I surely needed it!!!
The blending of the guitar with the effected sound using a volume pedal for the effect volume is exactly what Steve Morse has been doing for the last 45 years.
@shelyl You either need a GK3(GK2/A) or a midi guitar with a 13 pin to interface with the GR-20.The pickup itself makes no difference in the tones/patches available,but with the GK-3 you can put the switch in the middle position,and blend the GR-55 with your guitar's normal sound.Hope this helps!
@davesabog No The GK3 transmits the information to the GR20 which processes the synth. sounds.The magnetic p/u's mean you can also play the guitar as a "normal" guitar either separately or combined with the synth.
i watched this demo and went out and going to buy one of these this week....just wish there was alittle more on the GK-3 divided Pick up in this. but still a great review also wish there was abit more on the pedalboards section and if it can be attached to any pedal board or just boss/roland products.
@CRBaustintx You have to buy the Pickup. Its called the Roland GK-3 which you just stick to the guitar or you can Buy the Roland GK Kit which perm is in your guitar and you have to do lots of wireing and stuff.
can it plug in to a regular pedal board (stomp boxes) and still function correctly, and can i use my regular amp settings or is it like a multi effects pedal? Some one answere. Plz and thank u
@AllBluesCat It would sound exactly the same because the sounds are being transmitted via the built in Roland GK p/u,not by the guitar's magnetic p/u's.
LuGMZth you don't need a normal pedal board also, you can just use the GR20 on it's own, the guitar out port on the GR20 is only needed if you want to use normal guitar and can be plugged into a normal pedal board OR amp, notice on the video he didn't have the normal pedal board even connected until 3:55
@kingstumble Thanks man. But I'm still confused, what he has here is just the GK cable or something? I couldn't see the GK-3 or a special pickup installed.
@exile28foo it's because is a guitar designed to support midi stuff. for the regular guitars you'd need the pickup. probably comes from a video to advertise the pedalboard only?
You can choose to use the loop back, so that the external pedal goes back in to the gr or if you plug it in another amp or so. At least this is so with the gr-33
I have GR-20 connected to a Godin Multiac SA with a 13 pin cable and a standard 1/4 cable going out to an amp. I hear the guitar through the amp but not the synthesizer Any suggestions?
@davesabog It is quite confusing.Alex is playing a Brian Moore iguitar which has a built in GK3(to be accurate it's not strictly a GK3 but a hex p/u which works in exactly the same way) but it's hidden so you can't see it! There are also other brands which have a similar set up-Godin and Carvin come to mind. The GK cable is able to carry the signal from both the hex p/u for the synth sounds AND the magnetic pickups so you don't need a separate cable for the "standard" guitar sound.Clever eh?
Your guitar seems to track the roland really well. I have just borrowed one before I buy but I'm using the GK3 which does not track aswell. What guitar are you using or midi pickup? Sounds great though.
hey can some one help me .. i was wondering about buy a guitar syntetixer and i aimmed the gr20 but the lattest gr55 just came out.. i know that gr55 have guitarra effects ass well but i allreaddy have the gt 10.. so the question is .. is the gt 10 and gr20 combo the same like a gr 55 or is it better to buy the gr 55 anyway'? please someone helpme
no worries dude i have no problems with it, ive also used my friends VG-99 and he uses that with a GK-3 so i know alittle about that. My Gr-20 has been ordered today and Roland are really good with thier deliveries i hear, but yeah hope all is well
@Vermillion2176 hey can some one help me .. i was wondering about buy a guitar syntetixer and i aimmed the gr20 but the lattest gr55 just came out.. i know that gr55 have guitarra effects ass well but i allreaddy have the gt 10.. so the question is .. is the gt 10 and gr20 combo the same like a gr 55 or is it better to buy the gr 55 anyway'? please someone helpme
I absolutley want one. 1st: how much do they cost? 2nd: does it work with an acoustic electric guitar. and 3rd: was that 9 Crimes by Damien Rice you played on the piano setting?
@PauloDJ2 you need a 13 pin cable..there is so much info being sent that 13 pin is needed..sucks because you can get a wireless midi set up but not for 13 pin cables.. not sure what you mean by the 2nd question..
Listening to Alex compared to others he makes it sound fantastic. Now I don't know if it's the amp or just the fact he is a better guitarist. The best way to use most effects like this are through a monitor. Like a Roland, or Peavey. But if you watch some other video's his is the cleanest sounding. Also could it be that his guitar has the pickup installed and not outside? I would really like to know. I wrote him but no reply yet. That's OK But it's an older model and hard to find to try.
I had one, it was pretty cool. Some sounds track better than others, they all sound great though. It made me want more sounds and more polyphony, so I ended up focusing on keyboards and using VSTs... Still if you want to stick with guitar the GR20 is great value.
Come back to this video from time to time almost on 10 years. Because of Alex charisma and skills. Awesome stuff!
Alex just knows all those songs for a specific instrument, he is a master of his craft and hilarious

Thanks for the boost, I surely needed it!!!
446 happy guitarists, 7 fired keyboardists
underrated comment lol
love the rang of tunes this guy has, not just the pedal.
The blending of the guitar with the effected sound using a volume pedal for the effect volume is exactly what Steve Morse has been doing for the last 45 years.
I love the way the blending sounds!
Its beautiful work done by Alex Hutchings
Love the synths!
Cheers mikvee, how are you getting on now you've got your GR20?

looks like it, looks and sounds amazing too. this guy really is good at these reviews.

I love this guy
yes, the Roland GK3 will fit to most guitars, thats how it can pick up each strings information individually
nice man.... i like i a lot

Oh, that is cool ! Looks like they've solved the tracking problems they used to have. Nice demo, man.
with this guitar synth, I will never need another bandmate ever again1

Oh really? That's a better relief on me because I was thinking about purchasing one sometime in the very near future, thanks.
love d faces he makes!!
Very good demonstrator,ND

Mad guitar playing.
Cool!!!

but still a great review

this guy is really great
yeah it can go inline with your other effects there are jacks labeled mix in for that
best roland gr-20 review on youtube..........trust me
@SuperRockingMrMagic GR-20 has midi output so you can hook that up to your computer via Midi-to-USB connection, and then control FL Studio with it.
@CRBaustintx You have to buy the Pickup.
Its called the Roland GK-3 which you just stick to the guitar or you can Buy the Roland GK Kit which perm is in your guitar and you have to do lots of wireing and stuff.
can it plug in to a regular pedal board (stomp boxes) and still function correctly, and can i use my regular amp settings or is it like a multi effects pedal? Some one answere.
Plz and thank u
This is an innovation! I can see it now, the guitar orchestra... I want one already!
XD
good demo
my GR 20 :D ty for demo...
Cool guitar
Awesome video 👍👍 bravo. Guys can I use the GK pickup with i.e korg m3 or similar
Awsome
3:20
so beautiful
@AllBluesCat It would sound exactly the same because the sounds are being transmitted via the built in Roland GK p/u,not by the guitar's magnetic p/u's.

i love the sound,, can i use my midi keyboard with this to use its sounds? thanks
That's great, but does it have vuvuzela?
@kingstumble
Thanks man. But I'm still confused, what he has here is just the GK cable or something? I couldn't see the GK-3 or a special pickup installed.
@exile28foo it's because is a guitar designed to support midi stuff. for the regular guitars you'd need the pickup.
probably comes from a video to advertise the pedalboard only?
You need to have a hex pickup. These can be add-on units that you can buy. The rotary speaker sound simulations are included.
You can choose to use the loop back, so that the external pedal goes back in to the gr or if you plug it in another amp or so.
At least this is so with the gr-33
GREAT Vid Alex :-)
@Bowtie41 Thank you, have been very helpful. By the way, nice online shop you have!!!
I have GR-20 connected to a Godin Multiac SA with a 13 pin cable and a standard 1/4 cable going out to an amp. I hear the guitar through the amp but not the synthesizer Any suggestions?
I don't see a gk-3 pickup on the guitar. Does that still use a separate pickup device?
Thanks Alex - it was all going really top draw until the Yank started in.
Your piece = EXCELLENT. Thank You.
@davesabog It is quite confusing.Alex is playing a Brian Moore iguitar which has a built in GK3(to be accurate it's not strictly a GK3 but a hex p/u which works in exactly the same way) but it's hidden so you can't see it!

You love you
more cowbell!
no, seriously I have one of these and its super fun...
Your guitar seems to track the roland really well. I have just borrowed one before I buy but I'm using the GK3 which does not track aswell. What guitar are you using or midi pickup? Sounds great though.
Muito bom
@94Alexcarney thanks
holy shit I want one!
Awesome! I never thought this were possible. If you get a "looper", then this would rock. But look like a great pedal. Perhaps an investment ;)
GOTTA LOVE THE DRUMMERS IN THE BACK ROUND
The guitar is a Brian Moore iGuitar - made in the USA
the synth pickup is inside the guitar - like Godin or Carvin synth access guitars
thats cool your good
Do i have to customize my guitar(ie, install something) in order to use it?
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!! I WANT IT!!!!
tht is cool
are you actually using a gk 3 pick up?
because you tracking is a lot better than mine!
that Brian Moore guitar looks awesome!
hey can some one help me .. i was wondering about buy a guitar syntetixer and i aimmed the gr20 but the lattest gr55 just came out.. i know that gr55 have guitarra effects ass well but i allreaddy have the gt 10.. so the question is .. is the gt 10 and gr20 combo the same like a gr 55 or is it better to buy the gr 55 anyway'? please someone helpme
nevermind, I found out myself, that fusion stuff is just amazing!
no worries dude i have no problems with it, ive also used my friends VG-99 and he uses that with a GK-3 so i know alittle about that.
My Gr-20 has been ordered today and Roland are really good with thier deliveries i hear, but yeah hope all is well

not sure what you mean by the 2nd question..
man..!! i'm gettin' one..it's useful for recording
ive heard theres a delay time with guitar synths like if u hit a note it takes half a second for it to come out is that right?
@CRBaustintx I just found out that the GR-20 comes with thee Pickup in the box i think.
@Ravenhunt
Some guitars come built with a G3 pickup. Check out our page!
OOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!

what song did he play on the baritone sax and the horn section??
I had one, it was pretty cool. Some sounds track better than others, they all sound great though. It made me want more sounds and more polyphony, so I ended up focusing on keyboards and using VSTs... Still if you want to stick with guitar the GR20 is great value.
Important question, does this work outside standard tuning?
Crazy
Can you plug any electric guitar into the GR20? Thanks!
You can get that sitar soung only with GR20 or you need something extra??
