Am planning on buying one shortly.

Anyone own one or had any experience with it? Any tips or counter suggestions?

My band plays a lot of covers, and when I say alot I mean we play everything from MJ to Stevie Wonder to Elvis to Rolling Stones to MC Hammer to The Beatles to Eric Clapton to James Brown etc etc etc... And now, due to the ever changing and demanding entertainment scene, we're adding club music to our repertoire... So now we play club tracks from Rihanna, GoonRock, C+C Music Factory, Pitbull, ... and we live mix em, as in we create our own "club mixes" (I've done DJ'ing in the past) but we do it live...

We do this with two guitars, one bass, and a drummer....
This is why the GR-55 looks to be the perfect match, within my limited budget (Rolands VG-99 is just too pricey) but I was just wondering if anyone has one already and has any pro's or con's they have experienced and would like to share.

Thanks in advance
