BOSS has announced a powerful and versatile product that aims to elevate guitar and bass synthesis into a new age of natural playability and boundless creative range.

Driven by the newly developed Serial GK digital interface, the advanced ZEN-Core engine in the GM-800 unlocks any sound imaginable—from acoustic instruments to classic and modern synths—while high-performance DSP delivers tracking stability and expressive scope never before possible.

Users can also expand the GM-800 experience with a growing selection of ZEN-Core content on Roland Cloud. In addition, BOSS has released a variety of complementary products for the GM-800 and Serial GK system, including GK-5 and GK-5B Divided Pickups for guitar and bass, BGK-15 and BGK-30 connection cables, and GKC-AD and GKC-DA GK Converters for interfacing with classic 13-pin GK products.

The new BOSS GM-800 and GK system will be available in the U.S. beginning in August as follows:

  • GM-800 $749.99 USD.
  • GK-5 $249.99 USD.
  • GK-5B $299.99 USD.
