Roland's Ultimate Guitar Synth.

The GR-33 Guitar Synthesizer greatly expands the range and quality of sounds currently available to guitar players, thanks to Roland's legendary sound engine. This rich engine opens up a whole new world of sounds for guitarists—sounds that can be layered with two Tones each. Everything from incredibly realistic strings, fat analog basses, vintage synths, nylon-string guitars or even sound effects can be used to transform any GK-equipped guitar into an entirely new instrument for recording, MIDI sequencing or live performance.
