Founded in the early 1970s in Osaka, Japan, Roland quickly became a pioneer in electronic musical instruments. Their innovative TR-33, TR-55, and TR-77 Rhythm Machines marked their debut, followed by groundbreaking products like the SH-1000 Synthesizer and the iconic JC Series Guitar Amplifiers with stereo chorus effects. Over the decades, Roland continued to lead with milestones such as the world's first guitar synthesizer, the GR-500, and the introduction of MIDI technology with the MSQ-700 Sequencer. Today, Roland remains at the forefront of music technology, blending tradition with cutting-edge innovation.
