Hey Gregg, thanks for the list .  I saved it as a pdf (attached) in case anyone prefers it.

Sorry I didn't put this list up sooner...

Caution, the quantities are exaggerated to optimize price points. I also ordered 2 different types of 4700uf 35V caps.  One should edit the list to appropriate quantities before ordering to avoid an excessive number of "spares."  I also have annotated the MP-2 part numbers in the customer reference field.

Well that's strange, I'm sure MJMP will return when he's up to it.  Meanwhile we need to be patient.

Hey Gregg, and many thanks for the 1.41 EPROM  albeit MikeB busted a leg removing the one he had etc...  IIRC MJMP said the PCB socket is the same as in the MP1, though I don't know the part number.  I think it's a pretty standard item  .  If we find out how to source one I'll definitely let you know.

Dante,

  It sounds like you converted it from a work horse to party animal! You should have kept it at that point. 

  I know what you mean, and it's true, you do have to change the way you work the synth for certain instruments. I knew that going in. I'll figure out how to do what I need to get the textures I want.

  The GP-10 has a harmonica in it. I don't have a use for it just yet, but I'm just getting into it. So far, some of the useful non-guitar sounds in it are Synth Bass, Dual Sync, GR-300, (which you can play chords with), Sequencer Tap & Hold, Synth Pedal Blend, Clean Bass, Slow Pad Filter, Hyper Wah, Synched Sequencer, Oscillating Crystal, Crystal Bell, Soft Brass, Chorus Strings, Synth Mix Solo, Strings, Expression Pedal Follower, Rotary Crystal, Fretless Bass,  and the Heavy Funk Drive.

   Three of these I listed have modeled guitar  mixed in with the synth effects, and several of the others I didn't mention also have that, but the synth sounds are so far in the background, you barely hear it. In most cases, I'm not interested in the modeled guitars it offers. Then this also offers a wide variety of guitar oriented effects, but half of them don't use your actual guitar pickups. There are some patches that do use your guitar and you can set up your effects chain the way you want it, (I think), so that could be useful for using this as a stand alone fly rig.

   Overall, if I had to rate this pedal at this early stage, I would say there's about 40% of the things I hear that I can actually use as a guitar player. If I have a gig where I can't use an amp, and have to go into the mixing desk, this could be a very good tool for that if I edit it correctly. As a fly rig, If I go to Best Buys, and get a small zipper case for it and its cables, I can put it in the glove box of my car or truck, and go. That's pretty cool.

    So far, that's all I can say at the moment. I've been having fun with it though. The manual is rather brief on each topic, but it may be enough to guide me through it. I'm counting on my experience with multiple signal processors to be able to figure out editing parameters in this. I'll be posting more on this GP-10 as I gain a bit more experience with it.

   When I get any of the other Roland guitar synth modules, I'll probably post them in this thread rather than start a new one.

I had a guitar synth for a while, it was fun but more trouble than it was worth for me. We used it for horn parts and keyboard parts, but I found myself playing the guitar entirely different when it was a piano or organ. No strumming down the strings, that sounded wrong, had to pluck multiple strings at once to emulate a true piano chord. It was a pain. As soon as I was out of that band, I sold that damn thing. The best solo patch I had was actually a harmonica.

It was a GR-30, I had the midi pickup attached to the top of my guitar with double sided velcro (didn't want extra holes in my guitar). I have a great story about that unit:

Playing on St' Patty's day, we had a great gig despite our rhythm guitarist having waaaaaaay too much green beer. After the gig, I'm tearing down my stuff, and he spills a FULL cup of beer on top of my pedal board, causing a puddle of beer to gather on the top of the GR-30 (it's shaped just like a tray, and it was full of beer). I cringed as I watched the beer quickly drain down into the GR-30! Ahhhhhhh, I felt like I was watching it slowly die.

Next day,  I plug it in, yup....it's dead. Nothing happens.

I pulled it apart, found out it was a giant PCB with knobs and buttons attached that simply poked through the case. The whole inside stunk like day-old beer and it was sticky all over. So, I took the PCB outside, literally hosed it off with water and left it in the sun to dry. Came back later and found some sticky spots of beer residue, washed them off with a damp rag, let it dry for another day.

Next day, I plug in the PCB (still not in it's plastic case) and it comes on! It seems to work!!!

I put it back together and it never gave me any more trouble....I think it worked better than before - haha!

I like that shopping list!

Gregg, please post yours when you get it all together too - these are great references for us non-technical types to grab the item we need, when a cap starts swelling or whatever.

Dante

Here's the list of caps I ordered from Amazon (it's 2 years old but you should still be able to find them)

FYI, this is the update I gave 2 years ago and it's holding up perfectly.
