processors, lets you make changes to tones directly.

effects, from classic vintage sounds, to original
distortion sounds.

gives you control over six different specialized pedal
effects. It can also be switched for use as a volume
pedal.

up stored tones instantly.

COSM (Composite Object Sound Modeling)
Composite Object Sound Modeling (COSM) is Roland’s
innovative and powerful sound modeling technology.
COSM analyzes the many factors that make up the
original sound, such as the electrical and physical
characteristics of the original, and then produces a
digital model that can reproduce the same sound.
