great review/sounds/playing.

this pedal is very cool.

thanks.

i have a question for you: do the gr-20 responds well (polyphony, pitch, vibrato, modulation etc) also when you use it with an external hardware expander or virtual istruments (via soundcard)?

thanks in advance

i just use the pedal on its own. I have never tried plugging anything else in.

I do however go H/phones out to line in on a Boss MBR recorder

sorry for the late reply

[MrLarryAppleton]

Are you playing this through your amp or is it line out? Did you find it hard to do the gk pickup setup? Thanks for helping.

[gfvbott]

@MrLarryAppleton the audio was recorded on a Boss Micro BR and was added to the video. some people find it easy to install the pick-up others slightly harder.

Great playing and a grteat review ...please can u tell me what the songs were please please especially the one in the beginning the synth sound...If it was an improvisation can u tell me the scale u played it on?

Hi and thanks. the bit at the start was the chords to "Canon" D,A,Bm.F#m,G,D,G,A and back to D. very similar to "the streets of london" hope that helped

How fast is the response ? and does it follow bends & tremolo well ? I'm getting one tommorow & curious as hell ! I got a Micro BR when they 1st came out years ago and I LOVE it ! Used it so much the silver is wore off by play & stop buttons.

with that drum track you could almost play the pink panther theme with the sax patch
