I figure it will be September 2011, before Roland US locates this info and translates it  - so we vguitarforums members get a head start!
I know many things can get lost in translation! But its still worth reading.
Interesting that some concepts, like enabling the Normal pickups on the GR-55, they say is performed automatically with specific patches, and  not designed to be performed dynamically on all patches directly using  the GK-3's "Guitar/Mix/GK/ 3-way switch, even though vguitarforums users have determined workarounds and posted step by step instructions on how to perform this specific function.

Update  - nearly two years after I made the post above,  this important GR-55 Q&A info is still only available at Roland Japan!

And Roland US  wonders why sales are down.

Perhaps this Roland Japan GR-55 Q&A was shelved for translation, because some of the information conflicts with the GR-55's implied features as described in the GR-55 marketing brochures
