Roland's Premier Guitar Modeler!
With the Roland VG-88 V-Guitar System's advanced COSM technology, there's nothing blocking you from taking your sound wherever you want to go! The VG-88 faithfully simulates the special tones and sonic qualities of the world's greatest guitars and amps. The detail and variety of options are extraordinary, and guitar modeling isn't all the Roland VG-88 is capable of. In addition to some of the coolest guitar-oriented stuff you've ever heard, like overdriven amp sounds and tube amp tones, the VG-88 can also deliver nylon-string, brass and even synth-like sounds.
Plug any guitar through the amp models, cabinets, effects/EQ, volume and Wah. While you won't need Roland's GK-2A pickup to use the VG-88, it is necessary to access synth sounds and guitar bodies.
