Re: GR-30 vs Axon NGC-77 (was Re: Expressive MIDI guitar (a looping source!)

I have to admit that I've never played with the arpeggator much, though
I've seen Bill Walker do really cool stuff with it.  Am I correct in the
fact that the GR-33 arpeggator isn't as good as the 30's?  I have been
playing with the Korg MS8000's arpeggator and that's pretty fun.  The
Roland MC-307 has a pretty good arpeggeator as well.

but, as per my original question...

would I get better tracking with the Axon or is it not worth my time and
money?
