The capturing game

This is the talk of the moment, a potentially game-changing device that eliminates the need to own multiple guitars (do we really want this to happen?). Mooer's Tone Capture GTR allows you to sample some sound bytes from one instrument & use another to trigger its application. Sample a Strat & use a Les Paul to trigger the Strat sound to confuse everyone. Is this technology new? Remember, the Kemper does likewise for amps. Here's a clip from the manufacturer to show you that it's a quality replication with no lagging responses:

Note that the clip didn't show the acoustic guitar sounding like the Strat/ Les Paul 😎

Freeze!

This is perhaps a cool debut this summer (no pun intended)- EHX's Freeze pedal. It's actually a sampling unit; you play, freeze the phrase or lick you played & solo over it to your heart's content.

The manufacturer also made it in pocket size so it becomes a mobile unit or sits there in your pedal board without taking up too much space. Dweebs like me who prefer to play alone most of the time would appreciate this pedal; it's like cloning myself & hearing me in action.
