Part of the BOSS / Roland legacy
For almost fifty years, BOSS and its parent company Roland have been at the forefront of guitar synthesiser innovation. It all started back in 1977 with the groundbreaking GR-500 system. Now, with the GM-800, they're continuing a commitment to this field, giving guitar and bass players powerful tools and access to sounds that were previously only found in keyboard-based instruments. Building upon the legacy of the iconic Roland GR products, the GM-800 combines the latest advancements in pitch and string tracking with a versatile and cutting-edge sound engine.
