Here’s a new one from Boss. Recently announced at the 2008 Frankfurt Musikmesse, this multi-effect processor introduced new features that fits today’s guitar playing needs. Here are the features as mentioned in the Roland US website.

* Massive tone, advanced effects, and a more natural and musical response
* EZ Tone wizard provides the ultimate easy-to-use, intuitive approach to sound creation based on graphic icons
* Parallel effects chain offers two separate effects paths, including COSM® amp models
* Create sound-on-sound loops with onboard Phrase Loop function
* Large LCD and bright LED enable high visibility even in bright sunlight and difficult concert-stage lighting conditions
* USB capability accommodates streaming audio and MIDI data in real time

Ability to use MIDI is a real plus. I’m not sure if this unit can be used as a MIDI controller though. The looper and ability to record direct to a laptop does sound good. ..and did you check out that synth guitar function? Groovy.
