Yeah, that's a bit pricey for me. Maybe in a year or so when they start showing up on E-Bay!!

I like this:

Both modeled guitar and amp paths can be active at the same time, or they can be dynamically switched or blended. You can control the switching behavior between virtual guitars and/or amps by foot controllers, buttons/knobs on the unit, or according to your picking dynamics. Imagine playing softly for an acoustic-guitar sound, then transitioning to a full metal blast simply by picking more aggressively. Furthermore, each modeled guitar can be separately assigned to individual guitar strings. For example, you could have a 12-string guitar on 1st to 4th string and Synth-bass for 5th and 6th.

and this:

now Roland delivers the most-requested new features in the VG-99, including an onboard guitar-to-MIDI converter for direct connection to keyboards, sound modules, soft synths, etc. Audio output via USB or S/PDIF digital out

It looks like they combined a VG-88 with GI-20 and GS-10. Ooh and speaking of VG-88's maybe this puppy will drive their price down!

Better pix....

Videos of the NAMM Press Demo

There's 2 videos up: One of the demo, another showing some edit screens (very blurry, but still marginally useful); look in Archives for the first one.

Probably the most active, best informed discussions of the 99/NAMM launch: VG-8 Mailing List at Yahoo Groups; offshoot of vg-8.com

That looks a LOT like the back panel of my GS-10. Too bad there's no
mic input...that would have made this a complete interface. I see
that rrc is now using CAT5 ethernet connections...much better than
the old 6 pin DIN.

I've finally tried out the VG-99. It's nice - real nice.

But I'll stick with the 88 for now.

VG99 My NAMM fantasy has come true
