The Roland VG-99 is a revolutionary guitar modelling system, renowned for its vast range of COSM-modelled guitars and amplifiers. This device offers an expansive library including new models of electric, acoustic, and bass guitars, alongside a GR-300 synth wave and more. Its standout feature is the ability to model two separate signal paths simultaneously, allowing guitarists to play two distinct guitar sounds at the same time. For instance, users can combine the sound of a Telecaster in a vintage Tweed amp with a nylon-string guitar, each with their unique effects and reverbs. This dual processing capability significantly expands the creative possibilities for musicians.
In addition to its modelling versatility, the VG-99 boasts dynamic control features, enabling both modelled guitar and amp paths to be active or dynamically switched/blended. This control extends to the switching behaviour between virtual guitars and amps, which can be managed via foot controllers, unit buttons/knobs, or even by the player's picking dynamics. The VG-99 further enhances customisation with its alternate tuning capabilities, offering a range of custom tuning options for any virtual guitar. This feature includes support for open and drop tunings, user-defined custom tunings, and the ability to switch instantly between tunings. With additional functionalities like an onboard guitar-to-MIDI converter, USB audio output, and a striking on-screen editor, the VG-99 not only simplifies programming but also elevates live stage performances and studio work, solidifying its status as a versatile tool for guitarists seeking to explore new dimensions in their music.
