New desktop Guitar Effects processor...

Looks interesting....and it DOES have software...

That looks very cool.  I had been wanting the GT-100 for a while.  It's nice to see that they made a desktop version, and that they added some stuff.

The GT-100 owners will be able to upgrade their units for free, when version 2 comes out, expected mid april. Some new FX, amp models and other stuff as well.  The GT-100 still is quite a bit more expensive, but has an amount of features, this new unit will not have, although they will still share the same base software.

I have my ME-70 on the desktop, cuz my eyes are too old to see the fine print while standing.
 
You have to smack the footswitches pretty good with the heel of your hand, but otherwise, it works great!

...Don't forget to tip the guy at the piano...
 
Well I would, if I wasn't also sitting at the piano!  Haha!
 
One place where I played regularly, an older Italian waiter gent would put a then 'still current' $2.00 bill in the glass tip jar at the beginning of my 1st set, for a visual power of suggestion to help the tips get started.
 
4 hours later when I was done, of course he'd reach in and take his $2.00 back.
 
But what was funny, was how some of those who got there after I had started, would kind of give him a double take, thinking he was 'stealing from the cookie jar'.  

I thought that was where you get change....kinda like that plate they pass around in church.

Hahaha!
