On the Dutch forums the main sound-compressor settings are also discussed. In fact the people that already own the G-70 say that they are somewhat ashamed that it took them a month to figure out that these parameters have such an effect on the overall sound. The overall conclusion seems to be that with the proper settings of this compressor (not equalizer) it is one heck of a good sounding board.

If this is really the case, and I don't see any reason to doubt it, I think it is pretty sloppy that these settings are not a bit more refined "out of the box". I would not have expected this from a company like Roland.

But on the other hand I find it reassuring, because it seems to take away the doubts some people had about the sound quality. The experiences were so diverse that it made me doubt about buying the G-70. I don't think this is something you can easily try out in the store however!
