From expressive string ensembles to spiritual tabla loops coupled with sitar—all with adjustable attack and release—there's no limit to what you can do. Sophisticated DSP makes the GR-20's pitch detection ultra-reliable, so you can strum with confidence. Take Your Guitar Playing Further Want to create a sound that's all your own?
