Re: Effects drop out (was RE: Digitech GNX4)

The way I understand it, the problem with this "seamless" patch changing 
operation is that it would mean having two effects processors in one 
box, but only using one at a time.  Which is a waste of money and parts 
~99% of the time.

The only time both would be used is when you're switching between 
patches and you want the effect tails to carry over.

That said, I do remember hearing, a long time ago, about a processor 
that did it.  However, I can't recall the make or model.
