Advantages: modifiability, portable Disadvantages: need of electricity
and like this to take it with me from home. With Roland EP-77 it was solved. About recording your tunes it is no longer a dream even with some different sounds (strings, bells, organ), you can do that directly by cable - without the additional noises what is the case with an acoustic piano record. You can change to that if having just a simple piano. Extra cool: playing at night! You can modify the volume just as you want. This is impossible with an acoustic piano since however silent you might stroke the keys they still make a certain noise.
--- Disadvantages ---
Electricity. It requires electricity to be used in comparison to the acoustic one - and this is a disadvantage. If the electricity goes away for whichever reason. This happened to us quite often in a small village where I used it. At such times no help, you cannot play ...

Advantages: Delivery Time met Disadvantages: Poor after sales service
I went and bought a bed from Dreams shop after many times of viewing and testing out some beds.
After three weeks of delivery time to wait I received my bed and this was professionally installed in the correct bedroom. Whilst I was happy with the bed mainly speaking in that the bed felt comfortable, it was the lack of after care sales service that really let Dreams down.

I felt that the level of customer service in dealing with this problem of mine to be a big let down for the company. The delivery time was stated as three weeks and they did at least ...

Advantages: Some very realistic synthetic sounds at an affordable price. Disadvantages: Requires a lot of fine tuning.
Background:
I bought this pedal in Japan for £290. The Roland GR-20 is renowned for it's value for money. For this price you get:
The GR-20 Synthesizer
GK-3 Dedicated Pickup + Cable (to connect the GK-3 to GR-20)
Power Supply Unit
Short Guitar Lead
Instruction Manuals
Warranty
Screws, tapes etc... to attach GK-3 to your guitar
The pedal is very versatile and also comes with an in-built tuner.
Installation:
The GK-3 needs to be installed on your guitar before you can use the pedal. Ideally the GK-3 should be around 1mm away from your strings and should not be installed further than 1cm away from the bridge.
The GK-3 has two main parts. The main body, which has the up/down buttons (to scroll through the patches) and a volume knob, and the pickup itself.
The pickup can either be installed using screws ...
