Some intriguing new toys described in the latest Musician's Friend catalog: Boss ME30 Multiple Effects Pedal ($249.99) Has the usual array of effects, but adds a Phrase Trainer feature that records up to 12 (or 22 - the catalog contradicts itself) seconds of whatever is plugged into a certain input. The apparent intention is to use the Phrase Trainer for learning a lick from, say, a CD. The recorded phrase can be slowed down up to 25% of the original speed without changing pitch. It can also be looped. The built-in expression pedal looks like a nice touch. Of course you don't have to plug in a CD player into the CD input... it could be something else... Digitech Guitar Talker ($239) Plug in a guitar (or whatever you want) and a mic. This is basically a vocoder pedal that lets you select between Vocoder, Talkbox, Darth Vader, and other sounds. One trick I've always wanted to try with a vocoder or similar effect is to use it in conjuction with an Ebow.
