Advantages: modifiability, portable Disadvantages: need of electricity
I have been playing the piano for several years, each week going to a class, hard training all the time, concerts, and once, I got for Christmas this new invention.
--- Advantages ---
I didn't know at all what to expect. Before, I occasionally played for fun on keyboard. So I thought that it is comparable to such quality = not having a real size of a usual wooden piano. The other thing is that the number of keys, the low bass and high tones are usually missing on such a digital piano. But as I saw it then packed out, I starred on it with an open mouth because the keys had the usual size of a USUAL piano. What I really started to like on Roland EP-77 it was the fact that it is portable. - Several times it happened to me that I couldn't play the big piano at certain occasions because I cannot just put this instrument into my pocket ...

A brillaint 50CC scooter especialy for the new comers to the motor cycle scene. I've owned one for over 3 years and it has not let me down once. Not even in the coldest winter or hotest summer a realy great bike. As soon as it has been derestricted it will reach 55mph with ease. Check out www.x8r.co.uk thats where mine was done realy easy to do. Even after derestriction £3.50 worth of fuel would last ages. The looks of this bike is absolutly amazing bung some neons on and they look bill at night. Quite an expensive bike new but prices are dropping and a bargain can be picked up with ease A great bike highly recommended. Buy one today ...

Advantages: Some very realistic synthetic sounds at an affordable price. Disadvantages: Requires a lot of fine tuning.
Background:
I bought this pedal in Japan for £290. The Roland GR-20 is renowned for it's value for money. For this price you get:
The GR-20 Synthesizer
GK-3 Dedicated Pickup + Cable (to connect the GK-3 to GR-20)
Power Supply Unit
Short Guitar Lead
Instruction Manuals
Warranty
Screws, tapes etc... to attach GK-3 to your guitar
The pedal is very versatile and also comes with an in-built tuner.
Installation:
The GK-3 needs to be installed on your guitar before you can use the pedal. Ideally the GK-3 should be around 1mm away from your strings and should not be installed further than 1cm away from the bridge.
The GK-3 has two main parts. The main body, which has the up/down buttons (to scroll through the patches) and a volume knob, and the pickup itself.
The pickup can either be installed using screws ...
