Hello,
I am a guitar player first and foremost. I would like to build a live/recording rack rig. I'm thinking about getting a Randall rm4 preamp(all tube amp modeling
) and a Randall 2/50 power amp. I want to go analog on the effects as much as possible, so I'll be getting stompboxes and a pedalboard for the effects, etc. I plan to get a rackmount tuner and rackmount Hush noice reducer. I would also like to get some sort of rackmount digital synth that I could run in a parallel midi effects loop through the randall preamp. I'd also like to be able to hook it up to a computer digital recording device, along with a drum machine. (I don't know how to play drums, and I don't have a bass guitar, but I may want to start writing some songs solo, so I'll need a synth for that stuff.) I'm thinking maybe a Roland XV-5050 or 5080. I've heard people talk about using these for guitar synth effects. I don't know. Does anybody know if that thing would even work with a guitar? It says nothing about being guitar compatible on the web page. I know they have the GR-33 synth. You can use that to make the guitar sound like a piano, etc, but the xv-5050 seems to be much higher quality. If it will only work on a guitar with part of the effects, I'd probably use my computer for the rest of the effects (drums and bass), but I might buy an actual keyoard later on to hook up to the xv-5050. I'd really just like to know if it's guitar compatible though. Any advice or other recomendations would be greatly appreciated.
