They're selling for $149 on musiciansfriend.com (The Guitar Center's Web
retailer, so you could probably pick one up there for the same)

It's *almost* the exact box I'm looking for (and so damn cheap!)... sans  
MIDI
synch.  Not even a tap tempo for delays.  Seems such a shame these days to
overlook this feature.  The line6 pro stuff all has it, but seems too 
expensive
for what they do.  If they made a Delay/Mod/Filter Pro model in that price
range, it would be a clear winner.  The Electrix stuff fit this bill too, 
but
the double rackspace design seems an incredable waste of space.  (they're 
only
like 5 inches deep!)

So much for the dream of a single rack!

Another box that looks promising is the (currently non existant) Alesis 
Akira.
Anyone with inside info on that box?  Will it have MIDI synchable effects? 
 I
guess it was shown at the Winter NAMM show.  I called Alesis, and they 
said,
"What we know is on the web page."

Oh boy.
