My GR-1 is slowly dying. Normal, it's likely older than half the guitarists reading this now :-)
I bought it around 1993-4 and did some recording at that time and lots of live gigs over the years. I'm very used to the touch and have a lot of patches for it. Since it's getting ill, I decided to bite the bullet and spend the big bucks on a GR-55 which looks to have many improvements I was hoping for, like individual patch switch and expression settings - that's huge compared to one expression pedal setting.

As I haven't received the GR-55 yet, I can't play it, so I came here for some foreplay - dumb joke on so many levels, I know.
This place looks like it will be perfect for getting unstuck in the learning curve. I have two GK2 pickups, but decided at the last minute to also buy the GK3 just in case it matters :-)
Hopeful GR-55 convert from GR-1

Fear just pulls you out of being true to music, which is coming from a place of love. Love is the opposite of fear. I stay away from anything fear-related.

Thanks! Just so you know, I'm very discriminating, so I already went through a lot of the FAQ, video and PDFs to make sure the forum and I are both worthy of each other. I can't be of any help to anyone right now, but when that day comes, I won't hesitate. Meanwhile, I already have a question I'll ask in the right place.

Cheers!
Hopeful GR-55 convert from GR-1
