Roland GR-55 - Guitar Synthesizer (Black)

Buyer Beware - Main Board Failure after 1 year!

Buyer Beware - Main Board Failure after 1 year!After a few days of researching, I discovered there was a free 3rd party graphical editor called GR-55 Floorboard Editor, that virtually made it super easy to configure my own patches with ease, instead of using the cumbersome manual push-button settings on the pedal. - It was this reason alone that I purchased this device. Well... after only one year of marginal use, for no reason at all, the USB in... Show Moreterface stopped working. I tried reinstalling the USB drivers from the Roland website without success. I kept getting the error msg that there was a problem with the hardware device causing it to not be recognized. I contacted Roland tech support and we tried 3 separate PC's, 3 separate USB cables and many attempts to install the drivers manually without success. Roland Support and I deemed the GR-55 main board to have failed. I spent $ usd for this device that will cost as much to send it out for a replacement board.. Since I can't use the editor now, it's pretty much an expensive boat anchor. AlanShow Less
