The V-Guitar interface let's you move pickup locations along the length of the string, change pickup types, change tuning, etc. besides what you would expect with an amp simulator. Glen didn't show me the PC interface.

The number of parameters that you can change is mind boggling. It was incredibly fun auditioning the presets, but I didn't have time to study it in detail. It was WAY too tempting to just mess around. I fell into this 'just playing around' mode with soft synths several years ago.



rsn,

Have your friend look for the V-Editor ver 0.51. It's a graphic interface that lets you SEE most of what goes on inside the VG. For instance, I found several FX chains in which the noise suppressor was in the wrong place, so I moved it to the end where it belonged.

It's old PC freeware, it's a little flaky--mine crashes when I try to save sysex files, but it syncs and saves individual patches fine--but just looking at individual patches on your monitor gives a better understanding of what's going on inside that Black Box.

I had a little trouble getting it (I had to sign up on a board where the moderator never responded; I think someone here sent it to me in the end) so I can email it if either of you likes. It requires MIDI I/O to save, load, and synchronize.
