Product Description

• Vintage Innovation The GS-500 guitar and GR-500 synth engine were designed as the world's first true guitar synthesizer. More astonishing than its original release date of 1977 is the fact that this early guitar synth predates MIDI
• functioning instead using an implementation of the CV and GATE signals common to modular synthesis. Another incredible feature was the built-in infinite sustainer system
• utilizing grounded frets and a customized humbucker for incredible sustained notes and chords across all 6 strings. A New Kind of Hybrid The GS and GR-500 represented a completely new kind of hybrid instrument
• fusing the sounds of guitar and synthesizer and allowing them to be controlled at the same time. Expensive and somewhat of a novelty at the time
• we've grown quite partial to the feel of this combo. The innovative features
• incredible playability
• and natural responsiveness have transformed into a powerful
• flexible
• and fun library capable of everything from big fuzz guitar tones to sweet synth pads
• and more. Getting Back Into Action Restoring these units into top condition was a challenge
• requiring extensive maintenance and calibration. The guitar's bridge was designed using a number of plastic components used to keep the strings electronically isolated from the rest of the system - these did not age well
• but thankfully UVI were able to sort replacements. The synth itself was in relatively good condition but still required extensive servicing. Sound Design
• Vintage Style Delivering the raw sounds of this beautiful guitar and synth was indeed where this adventure began
• but it didn't take long for them to find ways to add their own touch. Reaching for a number of their favorite stomp boxes and effects
• from classic fuzz
• drive
• and diy pedals to the S550 Tape Echo (used for the chorus section)
• they've added to the base tones with a number of unique combinations that extend the range and palette possibilities of the instrument well beyond the factory sound - all easy changeable by way of the Main page 'Mode' switch. Inspirational Presets Bass
