I'm weighing in really late on this, but I've been deep into the Boss GT-3
(guitar multi-fx pedal) ever since it first came out. The GT-3 has an
excellent synth-like feature (actually *four* if I remember correctly)
which
tracks really about perfect (in mono) in one mode. Along with numerous
*deep* filter and distortion sounds and a gajillion blank patches to build
your own custom creations, the GT-3 is a powerful effects processor that
could do some serious synth-like sounds. I've got a few patches stored that
do the mini-Moog thing stupidly well. Toss a Digitech Whammy into the
outboard FX loop and you're living in synth city! I know the GT series is
up
to the GT-8 and GT-Pro, but that's my point exactly: I'll bet you could
score a GT-3 (or GT-5 or GT-6) for maybe $150 on eBay, then grab one of
those "unpopular" second-edition Whammys for $50. There's your guitar synth
simulator for $200!
As for me, I'm dreaming about buying five more GT-3s and using an RMC
piezo bridge pickup to split my guitar output into six signals. Send each
signal/string to a seperate GT-3 and we're talking polyphonic mutated
sickola heaviosity!
