Per picked up on this, but I should perhaps clarify that by sequencers I 
meant the old traditional step sequencers. Turn the knobs and adjust the 
adjust the note sequence. From an aural standpoint, it's pretty similar to 
the replace effect. From a visual standpoint, maybe it is more fun 
watching guitar players look at their feet, their fretboards, etc. -- I'm 
guilty on that one -- though maybe a really big Tenori-On style instrument 
would make for good audience eye-candy.
