"Buy it"

Sound:

The shear amount of sound options that this product gives is amazing. The moment you strike a string, the sound patch is played with the same exact voicing as the real note. the GR33 picks up on harmonics, muted notes, pitch-bends, wammy bar...even the ammout of attack.

Feature:

As i said, the amout of sounds (its like 400) is great...however, the effects could be better...they sound great, but they do not give you enough options. you have your choice of distortion of phaser, not both. Also you cannot proccess the real sound of your guitar through the effects, it has to be a midi sound.

Quality:

10 out of 10

Manufacturer Support:

im about to find out, one of the wires in my GK2-a pickus got cracked somehow

Value:

a bit on the pricy side, but well worth the money

The Wow Factor:

who dosnt want to play sax on thier guitar, or there is this one sound called "orbital AM" that is just the coolest sound ever. Coolest guitar product you can buy...though maby not the most practical.

Overall:

the only shortcommings that i have found is the inhability to use the effects with the regular guitar sound, and that you cannot add more sounds. Oh, use the GR-33 with PropellerHeads Reason 2.5! You will never run out of ideas. O yea, this is not a keyboard for guitarests, the sound that is produced is compleatly differet simply because the expressive content of the guitar is transmitted tot he midi.
