Godin Multiac Guitar Synth Compatibility Issues and Troubleshooting

[@anthonymitchellalice]

Good to know. Keep it up Andres.

I use both GR20 and 55 as well. I wasnt aware of this non compatibility of new guitars :( GR55 is cool but is much bigger and is a gaz turbine in terms of tweeking compared to the GR20. Thanks to have shared

If the newer Godin works with the Boss GP-10, you could do MIDI Out to a refurb iPhone running a ROMpler app. e.g. You can probably get a really good sax sample set to use with the AudioLayer app. The SWAM saxophone apps would be an option too. Far from an ideal solution, but it might keep the footprint small enough. I’m also wondering if you could find someone who might build you a 13-pin boost pedal that could maybe get the signal strong enough for the GR-20. (It’d be effectively six boost pedals in one box.)

Shame Gr20 no longer compatible. The GR 55 is very expensive and does way more than you would ever want from it. More complicated to use as well

Hello Andres, any update on your compatibility issues? Did you find a solution? Thanks my friend!

[@AKustik632]

Oh no! My friend, I just bought a Godin like yours with LR baggs and my Roland gr20 is coming in 3 days. What are we gonna do now? haha. I am a fan my friend. I admire your playing, heart of music, kindness and humor. What do you think of those newer BOSS 13 pin pedals? The BOSS GM 800?

I ran into the same problem with my gr20 . Fortunately the guitar center had a used gr 55 that I could try and there it was . It worked very nice although I haven’t gotten a gr55 yet . Soon and very soon I will .

Would it be possible to put the RMC electronics in the newer guitar?

[@KKMDStyle]

I have never been able to get my Godin Multiac SA to work with the Roland GR-20

[@AKustik632]

Are there any device that we can put between the godin guitar and gr20 that will boost the signal?

[@AriaMehr648]

Recently i start to use boss gp-10 via godin lgxt. I have no problem to use vst. Any advice? Tnx😊

If you still have your red guitar it didn’t sound in tune you have to turn it remember I said that because it sounds way out of tune but the other ones are good they are in tune

Roland (BOSS) is WAY OVERDUE to bring out a new replacement for the GR-55. That synth is already over 15 years old! It's ANCIENT. And I think it's no longer in production, so the only way to purchase it is used. We need a new Synth Please! A new synth would be able to track faster - the biggest flaw in the GR-55. It can be smaller, as Andreas has requested. And it could include a much better, multi-track looper. There's a market, dammit! Note that Godin is STILL making Multiac guitars, as noted in this video. Software sucks Oh, and please ask that they do a better job on the software - Roland's weak spot. The GR-55 does a lot but making it do that is a whole skillset in itself, and its software, if you want to mess with it, is Byzantine. Andreas is a genius with the Godin Grand Concert SA Guitar, but he's had to invest WAY too many brain cells in fiddling with the synth. It should just work, get out of the way. PLEASE push Roland to get off their asses & sell a replacement for the GR-55 And tell them to make sure it works with their older Godin Grand Concert SA Guitars: as you have found, they rock! And that kind of investment you don't just dump & replace. Keep the cable combinations, use the individual pickups but give us a new GR-55 replacement, PLEASE. Godin's SA guitars are amazing, a perfect pairing with Roland's synths. But that means Roland needs to make the dang things! They should honour their own market - they sold a lot of GR-55s - and honour Godin's continued commitment to Roland's GR-55.

Does the Boss GM 800 works as replacements?
