With three powerful new processors at its core,
plus expressive performance controls such as a ribbon controller and
dual D BEAMs. The light-sensing D Beam controller offers direct
manipulation over a variety of preset options such as rotary speed
(Slow/Fast). The VG-99 has a versatile housing that allows for
on-stage, tabletop, or rack mounting, the Boss VG-99 V-Guitar synth
system raises the bar in guitar-modeling and performance technology.
The
GK-3 Divided Pickup attaches to any steel-stringed electric — no
drilling necessary — and delivers accurate performance data to guitar
synthesizers. The GK-3's slim-line design enables ideal placement on
the guitar.
The VG-99 contains a wide range of guitars and
amplifier models, and it even models two signal paths at once. For
example, one virtual guitar could be a humbucker-equipped electric and
the other a nylon-string guitar. Add to this the sound of the actual
guitar being played, and it's possible to simultaneously have the sound
of three different guitars playing simultaneously.
Modeled
guitar, amp and effects paths can be active at the same time, or they
can be dynamically switched or blended. Players can control the
switching behavior between virtual guitars and/or amps by foot
controllers, buttons on the unit, or according to picking dynamics.
The
VG-99 includes an onboard guitar-to-MIDI converter for direct
connection to keyboards, sound modules and soft synths, a digital out
and a USB port for direct audio and MIDI connection to computers. The
VG-99 also boasts an intuitive and state-of-the-art on-screen patch
editor.
A Freeze feature onboard the VG-99 makes it possible to
play a chord or a single note and have Freeze sustain it until you
decide to let it end, giving guitarists controlled and unlimited
sustain.
Each modeled guitar in the VG-99 can have its own
tuning: the virtual humbucker electric could be tuned down four or five
steps for a heavy sound, for example, while the nylon string could be
tuned as a 12-string, and also tuned down four or five steps at the
same time. Any user-defined tunings are also supported so the player
can switch instantly between tuning setups without physically switching
guitars or having to manually retune.
Versatile I/O, including
USB, S/PDIF and XLR provide pro connections for virtually every type of
music production and performance on stage to professional studio
recording.
