The Roland V-Drum presser is the latest release by Roland’s increasingly better looking electric kit range. The TD-20SX is basically a nice balance of Midi and built in sounds and better kit resonance with a module that boasts the best aspects of two other earlier models from Roland in one module. The TD-20X module combines the features of the popular TD-20 and TDW-20 expansion boards in one unit. With over 900 expressive, dynamic sounds, 100 different internal kits and the latest V-Edit features, including kit resonance, additional microphone parameters and much more leaving you with a handsome arsenal of incredible sounds.

The promo below is the best showcase we could find for the different voice in the library of sounds it comes with, as well as a short explanation of the unique features.
The industry leader in effects, TC Electronic has promised to upgrade its hugely successful G-system by, as well as making it available in a limited edition sexy pink/red colour, by incorporating analogue circuitry. This should dramatically improve its signal path. As well as having more reliability it will include extra effects including a new univibe and more reverb options. The most dramatic extra is probably the ‘kill-dry’ switch, so that the system will be more compatible with other pedals and systems in a parallel circuit. The downside to the system though is that its only coming out with a limited stock of 300, so you need to bring speed to the game if you want one.
Specs and main feature include:
Redesigned analogue circuitry for the purest signal path
Brand new studio-quality effects
100 Brand new presets
Kill-dry switch for hooking up in a parallel effects loop
The best sounding and highest quality effects available for guitar. Period.
96kHz Engine (preserves harmonics for overdrive pedals
