Trying to decide between VG-99 and GR-55 - The Gear Page
WEBApr 13, 2014 · The VG-99 is dead. They've killed it. It is fantastically powerful - the GR-55 is watered down for COSM guitar stuff. But the synth tracking on the GR-55 is definitely better if you care about synth stuff. Also, the GR-55 has built-in synth sounds so you have a lot of capability in one unit but it's all watered down.

WEBSep 26, 2011 · I did read the manual on the GR-55 however; it has a dazzling array of settings to individualize the synth guitar response to individual players. This is a huge improvement over older Roland synths, especially the GI-20 and GR-20 (I've owned or extensively used the GR-700, GM-70, Pitchrider 7000, GR-1, GR-30, GR-20 and GI-20).
