Q: I’m wondering, if the battery in my VG-Strat loses power, what happens? Can I keep playing, or do I lose sound completely? I’m concerned about what might happen if a battery dies onstage.
A: Here’s how the Roland VG-Strat functions when the batteries lose power: The normal magnetic pickups continue to operate normally with dead or missing batteries. However all COSM functions (modeling, alternate tunings) will not work. In other words, it functions as a normal Strat. So you can continue to play it, you just won’t be able to use the special functions and sounds until you replace the battery.
