OT Re: Roland Wave Processor



The biggest issue for me is that with the synth models on the
VG, you have to be supremely careful not to throw off the
modeler with any string/finger/misc noises.  You get nasty
garbage out of the unit when that happens apparently.

However, I recently saw Philip Lambe play a SITAR, yes a SITAR,
into a VG-8 and double the piezo pickup with the sound of the
sitar through one of the synth models.  Sounded f***ing awesome.
