Boss's parent compant Roland was always ahead of the game when it comes to guitar synth; the GR-500 system dates back to 1977. Now, over a decade since its last guitar synth system release, it has at last revealed its next step: the Boss GM-800 pedal and GK Series.
As the recent DM-101 Delay Machine illustrated, Boss can take its time in areas of its expertise but always makes it count. This is its first guitar synth to feature piano sounds since the GR-55 in 2011the GM-800's Advanced ZEN-Core sound engine aims to unlock everything from acoustic instruments to classic and contemporary synths, all played with guitar with the system's digital signal processing helping to ensure reliable tracking.
