I have a roland gr1 i have been using for years. Can or will the axefx2 compar too or be better than the gr55 as far as synth sounds. I havent got that far with my axefx2 yet
If you're really looking for great synth guitar, not triggered midi, then you should be looking at a VG-99. The AFX, while it sounds really good, can only do monophonic synth. The GR has a good but simple polyphonic synth and the VG-99 has 2 simultaneous, much more advanced poly synths.
The GR has two PCM synths and 1 cosm which obviously us axe users don't need but the alt. tunings are nice too...If you're really looking for great synth guitar, not triggered midi, then you should be looking at a VG-99.

So the vg99 is all around better than the gr55
I wouldnt even think of anything replacing the axefx2 i have a Gr1 and use it for strings, cellos i was thinking about upgrading my gr1 to a gr 55 would it be worth it, are the sounds and tracking way better than the gr1
Fair enough.I also have a GR-55 and the AFX II. I don't think of the GR as a toy. It's another tool. I use the synth strings a lot & last week I used the GR (with my Strat into the Axe) on one song to go to open D tuning, emulate a Les Paul and played slide. I'm loving the options it gives me.
Using wireless sounds pretty cool.I use Roland GK stuff a lot; I run the normal guitar output jack via my wireless to the Axe II, so I only have the GK-cable from my guitar to the floor. When I don't need GR sounds on a tune, I can easily unplug the GK-cable, and have more freedom to move around the stage.
