Vintage, or ahead of it's time?
If you crammed a ton of vintage Boss effect pedals and reverbs into one efficient rack, you'd get the Roland GP-16. :)
This rack-mountable multi-effect processor was first introduced in the year of 1989: the Roland GP-16 is considered by many to be the first digital multi effects processor for guitars on the market. It is still preferred over many newer digital multi effects guitar processors for its efficiency, durability, ease of use,... and overwhelmingly, its sound. The Roland GP-16 has 4 unbalanced and 2 balanced XLR output connectors, as well as outputs for a bi-amplifier system. It also has midi in/out/thru for midi sync and data transfer as well as a proprietary jack for MIDI Foot control on which two pedals are connected, though the pedals have to be purchased separately. One pedal can control the master volume and the second pedal would control any effects parameter within the GP-16. External MIDI devices can also be used to control the GP-16, or the GP-16 can be used for control over an external device.
The Roland GP-16 incorporates 16 different effects and has the ability to chain up 12 effects simultaneously in any combination. These effects include distortion, compression, overdrive, saturation, picking filter, step phaser, parametric equalizer, noise suppressor, short delay, chorus/flanger, spaced chorus, pitch shifter, auto panpot, triple stereo delay, reverb, and a lineout filter. There are 128 different changeable effects programs, all very easily optimizable. Editing parameters is easy with the buttons located on the front of the processor. In addition, Roland made editing software (“GP16 Editor”) which operates on the PC allowing users to edit, store, and transfer parameters with the click of a mouse button.
The GP-16 is equipped with 3 extremely high-speed DSP LSIs, developed for audio signal processing in the GP-16. The unit was designed with the focus on sound quality, with 24-bit internal processing. It adopts the 16-bit (64 times over-sampling) leading-edge MASH process for the A/D section, and for D/A employs a 16-bit (4 times over-sampling) process.
Whether you use this for guitar, bass, or vocal reverb effects in a home studio, it's extremely flexible and easy to program - or just dive in, plug a guitar to it, and get some spacey effects from distorted to clean!
Never been put in a rack - no scratches on ears or face. This has never been gigged out, abused, etc. Home use only, might as well be "as new".
At the price it's listed at, you can't buy a single Boss pedal - but here it's like you're getting 16+ of them! :)
