Roland

Roland has shaped electronic music since 1972, and its guitar-facing work is a story in itself: the JC-120 Jazz Chorus, whose clean channel and stereo chorus became a genre signature; the GR guitar synthesizers; and the Cube and Blues Cube practice amps. It is also the parent of Boss, which is why Roland turns up in our archive on amp round-ups, tone guides and the industry stories — including the Behringer patent dispute — as often as on its own product news.
