The Roland GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer with GK-3 Pickup is a floor-based multi-engine guitar synthesizer system that combines Roland’s COSM guitar modelling technology with PCM synthesis and multi-effects processing. The unit is designed to convert guitar signals into synthesised sounds using the included GK-3 hexaphonic pickup, which captures each string individually via a 13-pin connection. This allows the processor to generate a wide range of tones, including emulated guitars, basses, and fully synthesised instrument sounds.

The system includes two independent PCM synth engines alongside COSM amp and guitar modelling, enabling layered tones that combine traditional guitar sounds with synthesised textures. It features a large preset library covering orchestral, electronic, and ambient sounds, along with user-editable patches for custom signal chains. The control layout includes onboard footswitches, expression pedal, and assignable controls for real-time manipulation of parameters such as pitch, modulation, and effect depth.

Connectivity includes standard guitar input, 13-pin GK input for the pickup system, stereo outputs, USB audio/MIDI interface capability, and MIDI I/O for integration with external gear. The GK-3 pickup mounts onto a standard electric guitar and interfaces directly with the GR-55, forming a complete system that enables real-time pitch tracking and synthesis without requiring permanent modification to the instrument.
