Vg-88 ultimate patch editor review
I just want to say thank you for the ultimate patch librarian editor patches for the vg-88. I've tried the editor and it works perfectly it's something I've always wanted to do with my VG-88 control them with my computer. And now . I have two Roland VG 88. One for the studio and one for the road. I have not tried the patches yet. I'm having a little problem uploading the patches to the vg-88. I wish I was a little more information how to do it but I'll keep trying. Thanks again!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

VG-88 is Great.
The VG-88 does amazing things that no other pedal does. It's worth the price for the 12-string simulations alone, the best I've heard in any pedal. With the press of a button, you have open tunings, and can set that up any way you like. The features are almost endless, the distortions are great, and if you decide not to drag an amp around, you can run this through you PA and the sound is fantastic. All thumbs up across the board.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
