Driven by the newly developed Serial GK interface and Boss’s advanced ZEN-Core engine, the GM-800’s high-performance DSP delivers an unprecedented amount of tracking stability and expressive scope, letting users combine and edit tones with the intuitive “Scene” workflow, color sounds with a huge selection of effects, and explore a universe of fresh content on Roland Cloud.
Get the Latest Milestone in Guitar Synth Innovation!
Ever since the revolutionary GR-500 system debuted in 1977, Boss and its parent company Roland have remained global leaders in guitar synth innovation. Now, more than 40 years later, the GM-800 merges the company’s latest pitch and string tracking advancements with a versatile, cutting-edge sound engine, offering guitar and bass players powerful creative tools and access to sounds typically only available with keyboard-based instruments.
Built around the sound source behind professional Roland products like the JUPITER-X and FANTOM keyboards, the ZENOLOGY software synthesizer, among others, the GM-800 is built around the expandable ZEN-Core Synthesis System—the most powerful synth engine in Roland’s long history, which distills decades of expertise into one sonically vast and deeply expressive engine for musical creativity.
Boasting a vast onboard sound library with over 1,200 tones and 70 rhythms, the GM-800 guitar synthesizer lets users explore Sound Packs, Wave Expansions, and other legendary Roland instruments (plus, even more on Roland Cloud), while additionally providing deep editing tools for each Tone—including sound parameters, sensitivity settings, and more.
For next-generation playability and unlimited guitar expansion, explore the endless sonic variety available within the compact, portable new BOSS GM-800 guitar synthesizer! Preorder yours today from CME!
