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 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!!!
@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!
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
@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.
@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.
Roland is the best in the world for product s I wish I could afford probably have to settle for twenty Roland but I want all the Roland pedals,you have to consider Roland is the best technology for guitars
@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.
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
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
@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?
@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..
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.
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.
@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?
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.
hello, I'm from BRAZIL, I'm using a translator to be able to leave a comment sorry some text error ok, I watched your video I felt very good congratulations to continue to post videos, beautiful guitar hugs.
im buying mine for £360 from my local music shop, its just for convieniance but as roland have upped thier price by 10% its hard to get it for a decent price these days inclding the GK-3
Spectorman09 - The GR-33 is discontinued. The GR-20 came out and probably killed the sales of the hard to operate GR-33. Roland is now saying that the GR-20 has replaced the GR-33. The GR-20 has all the same patches as the GR-33 but is LOTS easier to operate especially live. Big Ron
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?
If you have a godin or other guitar that has a midi out then no, if you have a regular guitar without built in midi then yes, and it can be a real pain in the ass to install especially on my floyd rose strat.
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

love the rang of tunes this guy has, not just the pedal.
446 happy guitarists, 7 fired keyboardists
underrated comment lol
Its beautiful work done by Alex Hutchings
I myself wouldn't know how to make the best using it, but this pedal is simply awesome!
I love the way the blending sounds!
looks like it, looks and sounds amazing too. this guy really is good at these reviews.
a real credit to Nevada Music
with this guitar synth, I will never need another bandmate ever again1
The best demo in YT. Perfect!!!
Wow.. That sims like MAGIC.
Im sold, great demo really shows what this device is capable of.
@shelyl

yes, the Roland GK3 will fit to most guitars, thats how it can pick up each strings information individually
best roland gr-20 review on youtube..........trust me
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
@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.
Oh really? That's a better relief on me because I was thinking about purchasing one sometime in the very near future, thanks.
more cowbell!
no, seriously I have one of these and its super fun...
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
nice thanks for giving these demo
Thanks Alex - it was all going really top draw until the Yank started in.
Your piece = EXCELLENT. Thank You.
@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.
Love the synths!
yeah it can go inline with your other effects there are jacks labeled mix in for that
@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.
Very good demonstrator,ND
Roland is the best in the world for product s I wish I could afford probably have to settle for twenty Roland but I want all the Roland pedals,you have to consider Roland is the best technology for guitars
Mad guitar playing.
That's great, but does it have vuvuzela?
Loved the piano
Alex rocks!
Oh, that is cool ! Looks like they've solved the tracking problems they used to have. Nice demo, man.
@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.
GOTTA LOVE THE DRUMMERS IN THE BACK ROUND
I love this guy
HOLY SHIT! THIS IS AMAZING!
those Synth sounds are amazing :O
OMFG!! Im getting one! Gona be fun as hell with my Boss loopstation.
This guy is awesome.
How could u possibly NOT want this product after a great demo of Squeezebox on a flipping guitar xD
I have GOT to get me one of these.
no, you have to place another pickup near the bridge which you get with it
3:20
so beautiful
Dankeschöööön für die super Demo! BG aus Gö. in D.
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 ;)
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
this guy is really great
Its a real pleasure to watch this video :-)
I love it.
love d faces he makes!!
You need to have a hex pickup. These can be add-on units that you can buy. The rotary speaker sound simulations are included.
nice man.... i like i a lot
and you rock with that little synth
i dont even play guitar, or any isntrument for that matter, but that gizmo is fucking awesome!!
Awesome video 👍👍 bravo. Guys can I use the GK pickup with i.e korg m3 or similar
Nevada music = GREAT PEOPLE!
It's where I got my GR20 from!
@94Alexcarney thanks
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
you could change either from the synth with your feet or the guitar
@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?
@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..
that Brian Moore guitar looks awesome!
amazing - I need to get one of these, fast!
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.

The music at 0.58 is TURKISH MARCH by MOZART.
Ebay:300-500
Elswhere(No Pickup):580
Elswhere(With Pickup):700
Elswhere as in somwhere besides Ebay.

This is an innovation! I can see it now, the guitar orchestra... I want one already!
XD
You love you
@CRBaustintx I just found out that the GR-20 comes with thee Pickup in the box i think.
amazing
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.
Man, you're so great!
is this real? what kind of sorcery is this?
look the roland gr-55
wicked sorcery, that's what.
😂😂😂
Alex Hutchings has been trained to play with roland gr series. The latency is huge
Cool!!!

With the Roland Gr 20, One can be a one man band.
Were the hell is the cowbell sound.
alex hutchings is the guy i can imagine that could convince me to buy something like this.

If you have a godin or other guitar that has a midi out then no, if you have a regular guitar without built in midi then yes, and it can be a real pain in the ass to install especially on my floyd rose strat.
