I have looked at the Roland VG's in the past and have to say they were attractive, but couldn't make the financial commitment for a purchase at the time;
I have a Roland GP-8 that I purchased new from Music Emporium in 1987; used it this past Saturday at a blues jam session; also have a BOSS GT-10 which was a gift from my significant other this past Christmas; I'm still learning how to use it; I will keep and use them both.
Also was the lucky winner in the Electrafest of an Alesis GuitarFX which is similar, but in a more compact floor unit - it also works well.
I use the the GP-8 as a rackmount in conjunction with a Korg DTR-1 tuner because it has no tuner;
The GT-10 and Alesis units both have built in tuners.
