Got the GR-S. Powers up no problems with a regular Boss adapter. Sounds great.
I love that it can also run on batteries. I takes my GR setup with my battery amp outside for weddings and similar.

GREAT CLOSEOUT DEAL for $99.

FWIW - Both have been priced at  $99 for past 5 months.



I expect both GR-D & GR-S to be blown out  for $49 each  on Nov 28 "Black Friday"

THAT would be crazy. I LIKE this pedal, it works great for expanding the GP-10. Puts my *Elantric* brand modded US-20 back in business.

Hey Bill R, thanks for talking it up here. I had completely ignored it.

Hey Guys-

Have any of you that bought the GR-S plugged a regular guitar into the input on the back and played with this thing? The tip for me was a video that hinted that even with regular guitar it's a "great chorus pedal". Heh-heh, I'll leave it to you to experiment with. The kicker for me is the stutter echo you can produce by controlling the Freeze pedal properly. And it turns all audio OFF when you switch it out! Right! But you still have the passive output on the back with the signal on!

Man, this is the STRANGEST pedal I've bought in a long time.

I LOVE IT!!!

I really like the effects on this pedal but I really dislike that there are no adjustable parameters.


I'm guessing these effects are borrowed from one the big Roland/BOSS processors, and I could find more fleshed out incarnations available in the VG-88/99, GR-55 or maybe GP-10. I've been having a hard time confirming this though. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Check out the VG 8 s1 or vg8 ex vio guitar. The last vg8 ex that I saw on eBay was around $125. Note that the vioguitar was an upgrade and not found on non- upgraded vg8s.

Either a GR-55 or VG-99 can create all of those effects.

If anyone is curious, I posted new photos of the interior of the Roland GR-D. Not surprisingly, it looks pretty much like the interior of the Roaldn GR-S:
