I did get a chance to look thru the manual at Sam Ash today...lots of cool things, such as 24 bit converters, digital out, etc...200 factory presets, a slew of effects. It seems more geared as an all around processor, and not geared toward any specific instrument. There are guitar patches, vocal patches, bass patches, 'groove' patches (aimed at DJ's?), with amp modeling, mic modeling, even pickup modeling. It seems like the maximum delay time is 1.8 secs, which would allow for tiny loops, but the maximum reverb time is 30 seconds- so that could certainly be fun. It also models an old Roland tape echo. There are limitations to the type of effects used with each other though. The 'cool' effects (to me) like flanger, phaser, feedbacker, mono guitar synth, slow gear, slicer (chops up signal by inserting rhythmic silence), vocoder, etc can only be used one at a time per preset. So there is definitely a limit to the mayhem that can be created. Since the unit is menu based (not knob and button based) it may be more suitable for the studio instead of live. Sam Ash price $399 US. I am deciding either on this unit or a used GP-100, which is Roland's super guitar preamp. Anyone have a GP-100 they are thinking of parting with?
