Special Message for Non-US Members

We deeply regret that we cannot ship contest prizes outside the U.S.

Customs, tariffs, and shipping prevent merchandise from being shipped reasonably between countries.

That is the reason why U.S. music stores like www.sweetwater.com cannot sell to musicians in other countries, even as close as Canada.

We originally intended this contest to be run by Ren in the U.K. but we found that just shipping him the gear was so problematic that it would cost more than the contest itself.

Please accept our apologies for making this a U.S. only contest.

MSRP $399.00

In the late 70s and early 80s, guitar effects pedals were introduced that made expensive studio techniques like "flanging" and "echo" affordable for the masses.

Simultaneously, punk rock and new wave guitarists wanted to push the boundaries of what rock music should sound like. Many relatively unknown guitarists (Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew, Andy Gill come to mind) pushed the edge of what the guitar itself should sound like with effects ranging from syncopated echos to animal sounds.

The more famous representatives of this style are probably familiar to you: U2, The Cure, Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel and sometimes Green Day, The Smiths and John Mayer.

Back to the 70s and 80s: the first company to create a programmable drum machine was run by a man named Roger Linn.

The Linn Drum was used on records from Prince, The Cars, Peter Gabriel, Madonna, The Gap Band, Todd Rundgren, and many others.

It cost some outrageous amount of money and had a unique sound that was much better than any other drum machine at the time (IMO).

I might have seen it once or twice in a store, I'm not sure. But even if they had it, they would never, ever let you touch it. It was that sort of thing.

So when I found out a few years ago that Roger Linn had created a guitar effects processor, I definitely wanted to try it out.

Then, when I heard it on the radio:

Red Hot Chili Peppers - By the Way
John Mayer - Bigger than my Body
Morcheeba - Part of the Process
Audioslave - Like a Stone
Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams

I definitely wanted to try it because it did some things that other effects processors just don't do.

But I haven't seen it in any stores. Not the AdrenaLinn, the AdrenaLinn II or the AdrenaLinn III.

So I finally figured out that the only way I could get my hands on one would be to get Sweetwater to send it to me, and then try it as part of our review/giveaway system here.

So here it is, by my own special request:

The AdrenaLinn III by Roger Linn Design



First impressions:

I thought it would be bigger. It is about the size of a thick paperback book. I expected something about 15 inches by 9, and this is about 8 by 5.

It has a small LED, 4 knobs and a few buttons. There are about 50 editable parameters (it does a lot) that you have to control thru this very small interface. The parameters are listed in a grid on the face of it, and you need to press a button on the left to select the row of parameters you want to edit, and then use the knobs on the top. Once you get the hang of it, it isn't too bad, but it is definitely expecting a technical-savvy user.

The back has midi in/out. If you want to use it live, you would definitely want to get an external midi foot controller (an addition $300 or so) to be able to fully control the various effects.


Overall Design

The AdrenaLinn is a beat synched modulation/filter effect, plus a filter sequencer, amp simulator and drum machine.

The main strength of the AdrenaLinn is it can make a guitar sound different from a guitar, giving it tools more often associated with synthesizers. Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and John Mayer's "Bigger than my Body" are excellent examples. Each features extra notes, in time to the music, produced by the effects box, not by picking. Think U2's The Edge taken to a further level.


I will do my best to explain what this device does, but you might want to check out the audio demos on the Roger Linn website to hear for yourself what I am talking about:

http://www.rogerlinndesign.com/products/adrenalinn3/adrenalinn3.shtml#audiodemos


Before receiving the AdrenaLinn, I was dubious about two of its functions: amp simulator and drum machine.

First, why?

Why spend time and effort on an amp simulator and drum machine, when what we really want is the arpeggio sequencer and filters?

After 15 minutes, it becomes obvious: it is a great tool for coming up with ideas. The drum machine is necessary to have a time reference for the sequencer, something to "play off of" so the filtering and sequencing make sense in a tempo, not just by itself.

Similarly, the amp simulator is necessary because the sound of the guitar and the sound of the filter effect are so intertwined, that they ought to be together in the same preset. Nobody wants to (for instance) program a great preset in their POD amp simulator and a matching one in their AdrenaLinn and then write it down on a piece of paper somewhere.


Sound


So I was soon convinced that the overall concept was smart. How was the sound?

I really like it. I am very much enjoying the current crop of 80s-influenced bands like The Bravery, The Killers and The Fray. This device seems like the sort of thing they would use, and unapologetically lays on a ton of effects to get some really interesting sounds.

Here is the list of effects:

Tremolo
Filter Tremolo
Flanger/Chorus
Rotary speaker
Vibrato
Random Filter
Random Flanger
Tremolo Sequences
Filter Sequences
Arpeggiator Sequences
Auto Filter
Talk Box
Volume Envelope
Auto Pan
Wah Pedal
Fixed Filter
Fixed Flanger
Sci-Fi (science fiction sounds)



The most unique feature here is the arpeggiator. You can use it to make your guitar sound like a dance synth, or you can put it way back in the mix so that it just adds some color to your chords in a way that people might not notice, but will give extra body to your sound.


From the Roger Linn website:

...AdrenaLinn III's exclusive Arpeggio Sequences, as used in John Mayer's 2004 hit Bigger Than My Body. In this case, your guitar signal in processed through a sequence of pitched resonances, superimposing patterns of major, minor, chromatic or other note sequences onto your tone. It's sort of like the resonant frequency you'd hear if playing your guitar in a small tiled room, except the size of the room changes up to 32 times over 2 measures in a pattern of specific resonances.


Any of the sequencer effects listed above can be programmed in this way. Warning: you will need a lot of time on your hands if you want to program the sequencer with this 4 knob interface. I would definitely recommend that you try the windows editor interface (not tested for this review - it looks pretty rudimentary) or if you have sounddiver, there is an implementation for that editor as well.


I am not qualified to comment on whether this amp simulator mimics amps better or worse than any of the others on the market. I like it very much; it sounds the way I prefer. Particularly on the distorted settings, I find a lot of amp sims to be sort of lifeless. These did not give me that impression.

Here's the list of models:

Fender Bassman
Fender Black Deluxe Reverb
Fender Twin Reverb
Fender Tweed Deluxe
Fender Champ
Marshall JTM-45
Marshall Plexi Super Lead 100
Marshall JCM800
Marshall JCM2000
Vox AC30
Vox AC15
Roland Jazz Chorus
Hiwatt DR103
Mesa Boogie Mark II
Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier
Soldano SLO-100
Bogner Uberschall
Diezel VH4
ENGL Powerball
Peavey 5150 MkII
Bogner Ecstasy
Budda Twinmaster
Matchless Chieftain
Bass amp: Acoustic 360
Bass amp: Ampeg SVT
Bass amp: Gallien-Krueger 800RB
Bass amp: SWR SM-500
Distortion pedal: Fuzz Tone
Distortion pedal: Octave Fuzz
Clean mic preamp

The AdrenaLinn III also has some standard multi-effects features: a tuner, noise gate, compressor and reverb.


The drum machine is programmable, but again, I did not attempt to program it. I expect it would not easy with the built-in interface.


Overall, I am very happy to have had a chance to try this out. If you win it, you will be amazed at all the interesting presets. If you like guitars with effects, this is really a great unit.


Just reply to this thread to enter the contest.

Good luck!

[u2andwho]

That looks and sounds awesome!!!

[welder4]

I am replying to the thread so as to enter the contest for the adrenalin guitar processor . I love to make different sounds with my guitar , it is fun to be alone and just play with all the parameters of these kinds of devices .

[h9alyman]

I know I should be honing my playing skills first but the more I read about effect pedals the more I want one, this one looks so cool :cool:

[StratsGT]

Sounds amazing.

[arielle hunter]

I would really like this. Enter me in the contest please !

[dgately]

Please, enter me in this contest!!!

I have wanted to try one of these since version I.

I love to tweak my guitar sounds, so this would be "optimal"...


Thanks,
dgately

[studio52]

I hope I win this super effect processor.

[jln3rd]

Fingers crossed, it would be a pretty sweet tool to have.

[equator]

Thanks Jon for the great review.
You did an excellent job describing all the possibilities that this unit has to offer.

Good luck everyone. :)

[swingchief]

Now THIS is somewthing I can use! - RC

[scatman36]

I WANT ONE!!!!!!!.........No really, this effect processor sounds awesome. A ton of versatile tools to use live and for recording................SIGN ME UP! :)

[cfreyer]

We are going to give the AdrenaLinn III away to a lucky newsletter reader next week.


I had a Line6 GuitarPort once. Great range of effects, mics, and cabinets. They expanded into the Pod series, but the Pods only focus on the guitar. Seems like the AdrenaLinn III pulls in the missing component for me...drums. Currently I use GarageBand for rhythm and beat, but I'd love to give the AdrenaLinn a try. The sound samples are great. I especially like the Talk Box. Suddenly I feel like Joe Walsh and Peter Frampton! :cool: :)

[halmandery]

I want one!

[marxamax]

This would be my first chance to hear, play, or own something created by Roger Linn if i win this unit. I hear that the modeling sounds on this unit are not the usual lifeless tones of most modelers but have a dimension of sound that might possibly begin to close the gap between true tube sound and solid state circuitry. If this unit performs like they say and I win it, I will stomp on that puppy for all its worth and suck the life out of it as I bend the strings to heaven and scream out in artificial grand harmonics!!!

[finleyg]

What a cool device. Please enter me in the giveaway.

Thanks

Finley Gibbs

[toglevt]

Nice review, now I want one! Thanks for the opportunity to win one!

[mr.blister]

I cant wait for a chance to plug into this baby and try it out.. Obviously the guys at Sweetwater have some awesome stuff and I am sure that if those famous guys are using this Adrenalinn 3 unit that it must be Kick Ass!
My Adrenaline is Pumping just Thinking about it! I look forward to getting blisters on my fingers while smoking up the fretboard with the Adrenalinn 3!

-Mr.Blister

While I have a couple of effects pedals, I have really been jone'sing for an amp simulator. It would really come in handy for recording!

[todamsmoth]

Damn! This thing should be sweet as hell!

[mpwood]

I am going through the Jamorama Lead Guitar book right now, and am super excited with all the new stuff I am trying to learn on my Fender strat. I would love to mess around with the Adrenalinn III and see how I can experiment with my own sound.

[MrBiGG]

Looks like a nice addition to anybodys gear.

[rcsnydley]

Just what I need for my current writing and recording project.

[gpone]

I am curious about the longest delay time available on this unit

[nistka93]

Looks like a great effects system, count me in.

[firemanjerry]

I have a Digitech RP2000 that I've used for years, have gotten pretty good at programming it on the fly even on stage using it's matrix which sounds pretty much like the set up on the AdrenaLinn III. It would be a great addition to my rig and sounds like I could really get some cool coloring to my music with it. Hope I win!! :D

[DanaScoop]

Pick me! Pick me!

[thepapax]

I Just wanted to know if people outside US could use an Address in the United States, a familiar address or something?... Please Answer?

Mark Leavitt

[lenwicks]

The AdrenaLinn III looks amazing. I keep my gear for a long time and choose it carefully. The adrenaLinn III would help me downsize my gear cases which is what I have been looking to do for some time without sacrificing the choices I like to have available for the different sounds I need.

[dancingskeleton]

From your review this looks to be an excellent product with great effects.
I would love to have this effects processor.

[denherderj]

Sign me up for the contest, new gizmo's always fun :)

[pt1rsl]

I listened to all of the samples at rogerlinndesigns.com and the effects this little box can create are fantastic. The arpeggio sequencing with the drum machine really do work well together. The tremelo effects are very impressive too. This is definitely a tool worth adding to the toolbox.

[Wolfgang6]

This thing looks like it is rugged enough and compact enough for "real" ease of portability. I need to check one of these out.

[RockinRocky]

I'd really like to win this, as I have looked all over for one to tryout to see if I like it, but nobody carries 'em around here!! I keep getting the "They don't move very well, so we don't stock them...", story!! So, please let the gaming-gods smile down upon me in this contest!!!! :D

[gltoo]

This would be a great win.
Thanks Sweetwater!

[skydog56]

sounds like an awsome piece of equipment i want it!!!!! regards skydog56

[zymrgist]

I'm responding.
Like to try that baby out!

[schecter_c-1e/a]

Where do you start ? The different Effects or the Modeling . This thing is great , beautiful sound , and the versatillity is amazing , and in a small footprint. I know that this unit would become my main effects. Sure looks and sounds like it would be a kick in the pants to give it a work out.

[Sabra]

Sounds neat!

[vgasblackbyrd]

good luck to everyone

even though i hope i win!

[macfamily]

Oh, right now I am using a 15 year old Korg multi-effects processor. That would be such a nice upgrade!

Being that my performances are one-man shows, the addition of this filter would definitely broaden the scope of music I can use.

[manasotakey41]

Please enter me...oh yes...I just did that :) Have a great weekend!!

[SaMuell4747]

It's great to have a lot of effects because you have a huge variety of sounds to experiment with. According to the review, I really like this one! :)

[cjtyler72]

I am new guitar player but this would cool to have as I learn.

[heckler0077]

This would be amazing for my son!
He's 15, and in addition to his school's rigorous IB program, he joined the acoustic guitar program, where he's really excelled. He got his grandparents to buy him an electric guitar, and now he's getting together a band with influences as varies as ska, alternative, and classic rock. When I showed him this, his face lit up, and it would be really nice for me to win this for him!

I want it!!!!! :cool:

[randyroofwalker]

I LOVE Sound!!! I love the way instruments create their own individual vibrations. In fact, the sound of one well placed note on a guitar can often times surpass a blazing trail of notes by one's incendiary flying fingers across the frets.

I love reverb, modulation, distortion, echo, tweeks, squeeks, wahs, flange, crunch, cough, and sometimes even an accidental sonorous auditory flub as Jimmy Page did two minutes, and fifty nine seconds into "I Can't Quit You Babe", on Zep's first album.

I love sound. That is why I am entering the contest for this AdrenaLinn III.

Good vibrations to you all ;-)>

Randy Roofwalker

[hotriffdaddy]

Having effects and rhythm in one pedal is something new. By reputation, it should be a good one! Bring it on!

[coldharbor]

Looks like an awesome effect processor!

[puzzled40]

Looks like a great tool. I'd love to get my hands on one and take it through its paces. Sounds a bit complicated to use, though. I have a Korg Pandora PX4D that I'm using now. It has a lot of features I don't use because I can't figure out how to save settings then go back to them. This includes using the drum machine or metronome features. So, I just leave it on one setting, which is fine for practicing.

[Fishnskeet]

Sum pun intended. Please enter me!

[ktradcliff]

If I say something really clever do I win? One more question; Can you OD on three hits of Adrenalinn?

[darranimbus]

sounds like a great piece of equipment thanks for the chance to win..

[TajMahal]

I've been shopping around for a multi sound effect pedal system....this solution's even better---the complete package!

[Eric Deal]

Boy, I sure could use something like this for my upcoming Cd project. I'm kinda getting tired of the same old effects :eek:

[danpoet]

This modeler looks like it will do the job nicely for any gig!

[gbuggy]

Who needs to buy another guitar for different sounds, when the effects can make you sound like you have more guitars than you'll ever want/ :D

[MrValve]

This sounds great if not for the preset drum effects, the amp models.

[Rascal26]

Please let me win!!!! I need gear I am poor. In fact I am so poor I can't even buy this years Super Bowl Shirt till next year. I can't afford new guitar strings till they break even then I can only replace the broken one. I never get new gear it's always used and abused. I am really desperate to actually get a piece of gear that no one else has ever used!! So please let me win just once! :) :o :p :rolleyes: :(

[J. Gonzalez]

The review of the Adrenalinn III sounds very very impressive. Lots of effects and modeling sounds.

[bayou-boy-59]

looks like a nice piece of equipment would love to win it :cool:

[garth52]

A truly awesome piece of gear that makes playing like riding the waves on a surfboard.

This sounds like a great opportunity for me. I recently purchased a new acoustic with on-board electronics and would love to see what I could do with this.

[Rheil1]

Looks like an all in one package ! Rock ON!

[bwtaylor]

All the words in the world will not tell the story. Listen to the demos!

[dshuddy]

This looks like an awesome piece of equipment.

[jwb72]

That does look pretty awesome! Probably wouldn't need anything else for a while! at least I wouldn't. :o

[Itsmesilly]

I think using a pedal really does add to the learning process....there is so much to learn and hear that you just cant get right out of the guitar and amp!!

[jkmowery]

Sweetwater rocks! Sweetwater rocks!Sweetwater rocks! Sweetwater rocks! Sweetwater rocks!

[sir2u]

Winning this would be about my only chance of getting one!

[ReedICE]

I love pedals, but hate tweaking. I know, it's ironic. I generally find that multi-effect type pedals live and die on their pre-sets. I would love to give this thing a sping, but I hope it has good sounds out of the box. :)

[briank477]

This looks awesome...I have owned a few products by line 6 and a couple of other modeling amps and preamps and I also have used Guitar Rig for recording. This looks very versatile and user friendly.

[pelle.c]

Sign me up! Im a member all the way from Sweden and havn´t used any equipment like this before. It would be so much fun to learn! ;)

[kwwwar]

I do love effects pedals so.....

[nomadicman]

Need it bad, wish I had! It sounds awesome.

[Alsepr]

I've been wanting a good pedal for my guitar...

[LedaM]

I'm sure my son-in-law will have a great time showing me how to use it. And in appreciation I will allow him to borrow it.

[jakegettler]

Always willing to try out something new for different sounds

[emoguy88]

i want to win this sounds really cool :D

[shdixon]

I've listened to all the audio demos and watched the Youtube videos. Simply awesome. I want to use it on my electric and try it on my classical guitar.
Thanks!

[aglanmg]

It is so cool!!!

[xfretbuzzx]

Win an AdrenaLinn III must be very good I had the first one , but it got trampled by my Dog she broke the screen and it could not be repaired. but I loved it :cool: Did all kind of things and that was giging.
I did not need a ton of stomp box,s, I ran it in front of my Head Rush
I am sure the new one is more solid than the Original .

It is a piece of work :D

[longbraid]

i am so totally impressed! i have had a peavey tubefex since 1997 and i think it's the max. i have never heard any other effects processor come close to what the tubefex can do. until now. this thing blows the tubefex away! WOW! i think i'm speechless.

[MichaelHamden]

Trying to keep up with technology is challenging, especially when there are so many gizmo's on the market. Here, in a single unit, is the full range of the most significant guitar effects and sounds I have on my list to learn and utilize. But with this device, learning how to manipulate a single piece of technology opens up a wide range of effects without having to learn 50 different systems. In addition, it provides access to dozens of amps that would otherwise be out of financial reach including Fenders, Vox and Marshall.

So sign me up for this drawing - I can hardly wait to get started!

Michael Hamden

[pdegman]

I think this is positively marvelous.

[Dave.Kurt]

I want one! I have a quite simple amp. Please!! :D

[michaelGT]

Add me to the list!
Please...

[tgbrewmeister]

Great review. I hope the Adrenalinn III ends up with me!

[DanL1553]

Just purchased a Bose ME-50. How does the Adrenalinn III compare to that?

[hawkeye13222]

nice... pretty cool
i my self am in need of a effects pedal and a good amp,

[Destroyer840]

That is the most intense effects processor I have seen to date. Although like your revue says, it does look a bit to get acquainted i do think it is definitely worth it. I even went to listen to the demos, what a work of art this processor is.

[jaycejohnson]

since I have never bought an effects pocessor yet it would be cool to win it.

[Happy Jack]

I enjoy the sound of almost all my guitars, but it sure is nice to be able to alter the sound and come up with some exciting new and unique variations and effects.


Thanks
Happy Jack

[teletak]

Can't wait to plug in to it!

[Ibanezuser4u]

Want a shot at thast adrenalynn...seen them around but couldn't afford it ..

[Shilther]

I definitely need one of those.

[wrsrider]

I want to win!

[stringtime]

This would be an awesome addition to the arsenal!! Please sign me up.

[Pharmer]

Coooool, an arpeggiator for the guitar. :D

[Arbeez]

Count me in for the contest. I've been thinking about getting something like this but had no idea where to start. This would be a great chance to try out some new gear.

[rockingene]

This sounds like a great way to get some new sounds, Please sign me up

[moonash]

What a great piece of equipment to give away. Had my eye on one for a while, will be even better if I win it. Thanks

[kdamron]

This unit is a beauty. Friend has one. Certainly would make my guitar sounds great. Ken

[swimdine]

can this be used in place of a travel amp? is there an audio out that a headphone could be plugged into?

[blizzard1]

Looks like fun. Never heard of them before.

[Cappie]

Pretty much my friends and I have been trying to figure out the effect for Boulevard of Broken Dreams forever and have yet to know why we couldn't find it, now we know haha

[knobdy]

I'm in! But I have to enter 10 characters...

[jc_in_jax]

Great review!

[graham_miller]

yo quiero eso

[NeroNerva]

With this piece of equipement I could experiment with new sounds; this would help me discover how to express myself more thoroughly with the gauitar. Thanks for the opportunity.

[Brenty111]

That sounds awesome, I'd love to win it....

[[911]BigDaddy]

Very cool piece of equipment!!! Hope I win!

[dlust]

Would be a great addition to this musician's equipment. Thanks for the opportunity.

D. C. Lust

[guitarslinger91]

Wow, once again, that looks good. PICK ME!!! lol

[byoder]

Thanks for the review.

[cwchase]

That looks like a great tool. For a long time ive wanted an effects processor, but i just haven't had the green to spare. Plus, anything that RHCP used has to be great.

[hutch2604]

[bbeer]

I would love to add this to my rig.

[dadailey]

Sweet!
Count me in!

[dhegedus]

[MaggotLord15]

The AdrenaLinn III looks and sounds nice! Hope i win ;]

[Fishinstix]

Sounds really cool :D

[made2win1]

Please enter me in the giveaway

[wspanic]

WOW!!!!! This looks AWESOME! I have just a few pedals (cheaper and not so productive) and I would really put this thing to use!!! All the different effects to choose from would really give me something to work with and be able to move forward with my life as a guitarist. Thanks for the consideration and running the contest! Take care!

[basquiat67]

We do mostly Jazz instrumentals, but I would love to hear some riffs with this processor!

[dtbrockett]

Hope to win!

[2gross4u]

I am replying to this thread so as to enter the Sweetwater Gear reviews Give Away for February 2009 for the AdrenaLinn III. This looks like a "SWEET' item and it sure would come in handy. I'm slowly trying to build a "poor man's" recording studio through my computer as I've been teaching my fifteen year old daughter to play guitar and she has an awesome voice, I see in her the next Sheryl Crow or Avril LaVigne. This definately would be a handy addition.Thanx for the chance.

[Itsmesilly]

sounds very cool indeed....
gotta be in it to win it ya?

[musclechild]

This pedal looks jamx. Put it on wax!

[super766]

I am just starting to add effects and after reading the review I think this is perfect.

[Psaltery]

This gets my "Adrenalinn" going! Looks really cool.

[mcjohn]

I enjoyed the reviews. Please enter me in the contest.
Regards,
John from Ohio

[tarasma]

Sometimes technology surpasses our expectations. This sounds like one awsome piece of electronics in a small package. I sure hope I am a winner!

[michaelnv]

This processor would be a real "+PLUS+" in my home studio! I was very impressed with the Specs. I was also intrigued by Jon's comment that it was a great tool for coming up with ideas. They come easily for me, when I'm using state-of-the-art equipment like this. I love the technology that's out there for musicians. This type of equipment would take me to the next level in my pursuit of being a accomplished musician.

[jan roberts]

Id love to try this little gem out. thanks!!

[sld59]

This would be a great addition to my pedal board! I'm curious how accurate the amp models are. Thanks for the review. Scotty from Georgia

[oldtimehobbies]

Count me in.

[Bluepick1956]

Sound better with one of my guitars plugged in.

[bluenoteone]

Should be great for us old geezers who used to love to play, and "gettin back in the saddle again" just want to enjoy learning again without all the complications of life getting in the way, and didn't have the time to develop and just jam man!

[Paco_Da_Kraut]

Looks like a great piece of equipment, count me in.

[DragSweep]

Great gear! Please enter me in the giveaway.

[Dinyeh]

Always lookinf for new "soundscapes". From the review, this unit could probably open new doors of creativity. I always have to try to remember, however, these are all tools to enhance my own playing. Thus, improving my skills as a guitar player thru these lessons will make devices like AdrenaLinn III all the more satisfying.

[fredhe12]

Thanks for the review. Count me in.

[RawhideRon]

I would love to win this effects pedal. I have been needing one for a long time. Sign me up.
Thanks :)

[Deussol]

Great pedal awesome sound would love too have one.

[antwayne]

looks really neat. i look forward to winning

[greg.hill]

I have been looking for a something to use to enhance my playing. This is probably exactly what I am looking for. However; I wasn't able to listen to any of the samples because I don't have the proper program and I couldn't download any of the download for some reason. When I tried to go to the download sites I got the dreded page stating that the page couldn't be displayed. :(
Maybe I'll win and this won't matter.


Oh well
it is what it is.

[Rick H.]

I'd love a device like this! Sign me up please.

[chrism35]

I would love to have that, It's worth a shot and if I don't win I think I'll buy one. Sounds like a great product!

[Jon Broderick]

Time to pick a winner.....
