I wonder if Roland are releasing new guitar amps

bingefeller

Just saw this page - http://tfr.roland.com/ ; most of it won't go live until 9th September though.

The amps are probably just keyboard amps or something boring like that.  I wish they'd make a Micro Blues Cube or a Micro Jazz Chorus.

Yes - 4 new amps of some sort and a new effects pedal, maybe an updated GT pedal.   http://tfr.roland.com/eu/products

I wonder if it might be some smaller versions of the Waza amps at a less crazy price.

They could also do with a GT-1000 with the better modelling that seems to be in the Blues Cubes and Waza.

It will be disappointing all around.

Looks like tone capsules and a new mfx.

I noticed there was a DJ/Trance Product E.

Emailed them saying I'll take a bag of 20.

I think they're maybe re-releasing and updating the 909 because the event is on the 9th September.

I'm hoping for either a Micro Waza or Micro Blues Cube amp.

I agree that they need to update their GT series badly as they've got really far behind.  Who knows.

Their newest tr8 already does 909 sounds though right?  Unless they're dumb.

I don't know dude....I was just speculating with the 9th September thing.  

hugbot

Yeah it does sound like a 909 reference. There's currently no sp 909 yet though.

If it was a rerelease of the TR909 I might wet myself.

Some Serato thing going on - https://serato.com/latest/blog/20123/serato-and-roland-announce-partnership

I'm wondering whether they're going to try and take some of the Teenage Engineering market with a stripped down, budget 909 style drum machine

I'm hanging out for Product " B "

Just got an Facebook message about new Roland Amps Products A, B, C, D and E based on Waza technology. Shit teaser campaign.

I think I've lost all interest in Roland after their crazily annoying marketing and teasing campaign for their blues cube. Just took too long to hit the shops and that annoying time capsule is so gimmicky. IMO of course

The amps will probably be overpriced in that case.

It would be nice to have this, and also a Micro Blues Cube for a lot less then the Blues Cube Hot.
