Somebody (might have been someone on this very list) directed me to the Trey Gunn website, in which Gunn relates how he used his GTR4000 as a solution to the problem of playing with a performer (I recall somebody who had studied Indian classical singing) who does not play in equal temperament. Apparently, the GTR4000 has a pitch correction feature that gives the user some flexibility - it allowed Trey to set up his GTR4000 to "correct" the pitches of his 12ET Warr Guitar to the non-equal-tempered scale the singer was using. Its in his road diary at http://www.treygunn.com. Paolo
