Artist patches are patches that are inspired by or modeled after the sounds of famous guitarists or bands. They can help you recreate classic tones or learn new techniques from your favorite players. Some artist patches are faithful reproductions of specific songs or albums, while others are more general interpretations of a style or genre.

You can also download additional artist patches from Roland's website, which are organized by categories such as rock, metal, jazz, blues, country, pop, and more. You can find patches that emulate the sounds of Eric Johnson, Steve Stevens, Jeff Loomis, Gary Willis, Robert Marcello, and many others.

Select the patch file that you want to load and click Open.
The patch file will appear in the Librarian window as a bank of three patches.
You can preview each patch by clicking on its name and playing your guitar.
To transfer a patch to your GR-55, drag and drop it from the Librarian window to an empty user patch slot on the right side of the window.
A dialog box will appear asking you to confirm the transfer. Click OK.
The patch will be transferred to your GR-55 and stored in the selected user patch slot.
You can repeat this process for as many patches as you want.
When you are done, click on File > Save As and save your user patch bank as a .g5l file on your computer for backup.
Disconnect your GR-55 from your computer and turn it off.
You can now access your loaded artist patches from your GR-55 by selecting USER mode and choosing the corresponding user patch slot.
