However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
The Boss GM-800 Guitar Synthesizer is a next-generation instrument that redefines guitar synthesis, offering unparalleled playability and limitless creative potential. Powered by the advanced ZEN-Core sound engine, derived from Roland's flagship synthesisers, the GM-800 can produce any sound you can imagine, from realistic acoustic instruments to classic and modern synths. Its newly developed Serial GK interface ensures precise tracking stability and unprecedented expressive capabilities.
With a powerful Scene workflow and a vast onboard sound library of over 1200 Tones and 70 Rhythm sounds, the GM-800 allows you to freely combine and edit Tones with ease, providing endless sonic possibilities. You can further customise your sounds using the deep editing tools available for each Tone, including sound parameters and sensitivity settings. The compact and versatile design of the GM-800 makes it a perfect addition to any setup, whether it's on a pedalboard or a desktop. Plus, with USB audio/MIDI connectivity, MIDI I/O, and the ability to function as a standalone synthesiser sound module, the GM-800 offers seamless integration with your computer and other MIDI devices.
Product Ref: 271701
The GM-800 also supports integration with Roland Cloud, offering users an ever-growing library of premium patches, loops, and samples. This enables the users to further expand the sonic capabilities of the GM-800, allowing them to explore a vast array of genre-specific sounds, vintage synth emulations, and unique sound design tools. In addition, with regular updates from Roland Cloud, users gain access to the latest sounds and software enhancements, ensuring the GM-800 remains at the cutting edge of guitar synthesis technology.
The ZEN-Core sound engine is the technological heart of the GM-800, fuelling its incredible sonic versatility with over 1200 sounds. Derived from Roland's flagship synthesisers, it enables the GM-800 to generate a vast spectrum of sounds. The ZEN-Core sound engine doesn't just replicate acoustic instruments and classic synths with astounding realism, it also provides the capability to invent entirely new, previously unheard sounds. This level of sound generation and manipulation is a testament to the innovation and sophistication of the ZEN-Core technology, making the GM-800 truly next-generation in its capabilities.
The GM-800 includes four Tone sections along with a Rhythm section that is packed with acoustic and electronic percussion sounds. Easily select a section using the designated buttons on the panel, and then dive into a vast range of synthesiser parameters, pitch configurations, alternate tunings, and string assignments to meticulously craft your desired sounds.
The ZEN-Core workflow revolves around Scenes, which can be seen as comprehensive sound patches. Each Scene encompasses various elements such as tone selection, parameter adjustments, sensitivity settings, effects, and more. With the powerful DSP, you can seamlessly transition between Scenes while retaining the current sound. There are 150 user-configurable Scenes, including 100 pre-loaded professional sounds ready for immediate play.
For almost fifty years, BOSS and its parent company Roland have been at the forefront of guitar synthesiser innovation. It all started back in 1977 with the groundbreaking GR-500 system. Now, with the GM-800, they're continuing a commitment to this field, giving guitar and bass players powerful tools and access to sounds that were previously only found in keyboard-based instruments. Building upon the legacy of the iconic Roland GR products, the GM-800 combines the latest advancements in pitch and string tracking with a versatile and cutting-edge sound engine.
