\"ga-112\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In this video\u00a0Michael “Nomad” Ripoll<\/a>\u00a0demonstrates the\u00a0GA-112<\/a>‘s channel switching capability. For Michael, the GA Amp is a welcoming extension to his guitar rig because it covers a wide range of frequencies which eliminate the need for\u00a0separate\u00a0amps. This enables him to travel lighter and with less bulk. Furthermore, the amp’s wide frequency range gives hime the freedom to incorporate guitar synthesizers which vary in sounds and tones.<\/p>\n

Up until now, a “truly great amp” usually meant an all-tube design. But while these amps can sound amazing, they often deliver only one or two basic tone flavors.\u00a0There are other downsides, too: they\u2019re very expensive, relatively fragile, and require tube changes and other regular maintenance to make them sound their best all the time. Roland’s GA Amp series are digital, which eliminate all these downsides.<\/p>\n
