Re: Boss GT-3 Processor and looping

I'm less than a week into the GT-3, and it (and the Japlish manual, which 
is
printed on paper too thin for wrapping fish, otherwise it would be useful)
is not in front of me, but the GT-3 can pitch shift, can night shift, can
don a casual cotton shift and shift into reverse at 60mph, can hit the 
shift
key on your computer from across the room. I'm pretty sure you can get it 
to
think it's a Digitech Whammy, and for d-e-e-p "What The Fuck?"-ism, dig: 
The
Auto Riff function can cause any note on the guitar to spew out up to
sixteen different notes of any flavor in a four-octave range. That's a
different 16-note pattern for every chromatic note, or 16 x 12.
Schoenbergian atonalists, take note, or 16 notes, as it were.
