Korg X-911. Table top sized monophonic guitar synth with a few preset 
sounds
"tuba" "flute" etc LOL! and a synth section with sweepable Filter Cutoff, 
a MS
series VCO and a great autowah section. 1/4" input for the guitar audio 
signal
and a few additional inputs for CV/gate so you could theoretically run it 
as a
synthesizer from a midi/cv convertor.

It does track like ass and it's truly amazing. I shoudl point out it's all
analog synth in there. the "presets" were horrid approximations made up of
square and saw waves etc. nice.

To hear it in action download the  clip for the song "3 in 3" from my band
Overdrive Date Master. I'm playing scratch chords into the monophonic VCO 
as
well as using the autowah on a separate track. It's coughing and spitting 
and
mistracking like nobody's business :)
