OT Re: Roland Wave Processor

["Michael LaMeyer" <m.lameyer@verizon.net>]

The biggest issue for me is that with the synth models on the
VG, you have to be supremely careful not to throw off the
modeler with any string/finger/misc noises.  You get nasty
garbage out of the unit when that happens apparently.

However, I recently saw Philip Lambe play a SITAR, yes a SITAR,
into a VG-8 and double the piezo pickup with the sound of the
sitar through one of the synth models.  Sounded f***ing awesome.
