The one thing i'm wondering, is how they worked out with only 2 pedals, the whole random bank/prog switching. the ax300g is a dream in this aspect - you can change bank/patch while playing one patch... and it stays in stdby until you want it. My verdict - TRY THE SUCKER -- a couple times if you need to - but from what i hear, it's a deep, deep deep unit that is not getting marketed well -- i saw one catalog describe it as ' an expression pedal'..... no -it's a seriou multi effect monster in one pedal. I see Zoom has a competing, similar looking device - even with a drum machine!! built in!! wanna hear korg ax300g?? here's a sneaky re-plug!!! i play in a zappa trib band, amongst other things... if we're in yr town i'd love to meet some loopers. A CD or a couple cassettes gets you in.... OR - just check out our real audio (link below) - it's all from the knit/halloween 98 - and all guitar is via the Korg Ax300G and a tube combo. andre' ON TOUR Jun 9-20 Project Object with Zappa band guitarist/vocalist since 1978-1993 IKE WILLIS performing the MUSIC of FRANK ZAPPA details>> http://projectobject.com
