Main Features
 
The VG-99 is the culmination of Roland’s COSM technology based 
guitar modeling systems. Featuring advanced software supported by  
the very latest custom DSP chips, the instrument also offers a large-
sized high-contrast LCD, top-quality AD/DA converters, balanced 
XLR output connectors, digital output connectors, USB connector, 
and other features that all add up to a truly pro-spec system.
The VG-99 features two separate guitar and COSM amp systems. 
You can use two different types of modeled guitars simultaneously 
and create different amp sounds to use with each guitar. What’s 
more, the VG-99 comes equipped with two effects systems featuring 
a huge selection of BOSS effects, including COSM effects. This all 
enables you to achieve the perfect processing for each individual 
guitar.
The VG-99 now enables new and heretofore unimaginable forms of 
musical expression, including new ways of using the guitar’s neck 
and your hands. Of course, you can still connect expression pedals 
and control switches as well, just as with previous V-Guitar systems.
The VG-99 can be set up in a number of different ways to suit the 
needs of the user—as a desktop unit for recording or when using 
computer input, attached to its stand (optional) and set up right by 
the performer, or placed in a rack with the (optional) rack mount 
adaptor.
Connecting a Roland FC-300 MIDI Foot Controller (optional) to the 
VG-99 allows you to switch tones and carry out other tasks using the 
FC-300’s multiple foot pedals for easy hands-free operation. These 
units also feature an RRC2 connector, allowing you to connect the 
VG-99 and FC-300 with a single cable. This RRC2 function enables 
two-way communications between the devices, while further acting 
as a power supply to the FC-300, thus reducing the number of cables 
used to connect the devices.
The VG-99 can convert and output guitar performance data as MIDI 
information, allowing you to connect a synthesizer sound module or 
similar device and use the setup as a guitar synthesizer.
This function enables you to use performance data and pedal 
operations in controlling video.

About COSM 
(Composite Object Sound Modeling)
Composite Object Sound Modeling—or “COSM” for short—is 
BOSS/Roland’s innovative and powerful technology that’s 
used to digitally recreate the sound of classic musical 
instruments and effects. COSM analyzes the many factors that 
make up the original sound—including its electrical and 
physical characteristics—and creates a digital model that 
accurately reproduces the original.
 
Combine with the FC-300 to 
create the perfect live system

Features V-LINK function
V-LINK
V-LINK is a function that allows music and images to be 
performed together. By using MIDI to connect two or more V-
LINK compatible devices, you can easily enjoy a wide range of 
visual effects that are linked to the expressive elements of a 
music performance.
