New loopers from Korg?



In case you saw this and wondered if it was a serious looper, the max delay
time is 1.8 sec; per Korg, the AX1G is a Pandora on the floor.

<<Both the AX1G and AX1B feature a foot-operated expression
pedal that lets the player control their sound to a new degree. It
can be used as a wah or volume pedal, and can freely control a
wide range of signal processing effects, including bends, pitch,
delay and tremolo. In addition, the expression pedal also
controls the unique Sample & Play function of the AX1G and
AX1B. This feature allows musicians to record and play back a
phrase or solo part even as they continue to play new parts. The
sampled sound can be played back or modified using the
expression pedal for truly new effects, including
forward/reverse playback; looping sounds to any length of time
specified; and continuous layering, allowing doubling and
harmony parts. 

The AX1G uses the proprietary ToneWorks Hybrid Gain Structure
to create high- quality distortion and overdrive. A three-band
EQ allows adjustment of the mid-range frequencies and built-in
Cabinet Resonator simulates every detail of the resonance of a
guitar amp-including amp size and depth. The AX1G has a total
of 69 types of effects, including wah, delay, ring modulator,
flanger and pitch shifting. The AX1B offers bassists two types
of compression, a five-band EQ and an amp simulator that can
create a massive range of popular bass amp sounds for studio
and live applications. The AX1B also includes a dynamic exciter
- unique to Toneworks systems - that allows the exciter depth
to be controlled by the player's touch; an octave effect which
adds an ultra-low note; and chorus, flanger, delay and other
effects, all controllable via the powerful expression pedal. >>
