Re: Zoom GFX-8

Circus Lupus:

Know you from Zoom's latest floor-console FX unit, the GFX-8?
Amplification modeling, reverb emulation, sample-and-hold (!!) -- you
know the drill. But, sample-and-hold this: it's tricked out with a 25
second phrase sampler and their 12 second "JAM PLAY" mode. In this mode,
you can play back a two-second (boo!) loop in "scratch" mode, using a
modulation pedal to control the speed either 100% forwards or 100%
backwards of said loop, in proportional degrees of each. I'd been just
about dying to have this as a regular feature on a hardware looper for
time out of mind (this is standard-issue loop mangling using MAX/MSP,
don't you know...), so starting at 2 seconds is, well, a start. $495
MSRP. Go on, have a looksee:
