My Studio Rack Needs a Rebuild…

My Roland GP-16 hasn’t been usable for a while because the internal battery needs replaced, causing it to stop saving presets. In this video I'll open it up, replace the battery, and bring it back to life. Once the GP-16 is working again, we can finally assemble my new rack and get it ready to be put to good use.
