[RWP] Adrenalinn guitar pedal's sounds

Thu Sep 12 19:23:18 EDT 2013

I know, I've had Boss and Roland boxes since the late eighties.
I don't mean that their sound is digital, or sterile, just that the only 
thing I hear from them is conventional electric guitar sounds, while 
Roger Linn likes to provide synth-like sounds.
Actually, the AdrenaLinn pedal, and also the AdrenaLinn Sync VST, $99, 
have ADSR envelopes, so you really can treat the guitar's notes as if 
they came from a keyboard synth.You can swell the attack up, so you get 
the reversed effect, lots of power in altering the sound's envelope.
Also, the filters in the AdrenaLinn's are very powerful.
I realize that many guitarists want their guitar to sound like a guitar, 
which is okay, but I love the guitar when you can shape its sound to be 
like a lute, or Indian Vina, or any number of fantasy stringed instruments.
Maybe the Boss and Roland pedals have this too, but nobody seems to demo 
it in the YouTubes.
I've decided not to bother with another pedal for now, but to use the 
AdrenaLinn Sync VST, which is more advanced than the AdrenaLinn III 
pedal anyway, and costs less.
I found the pedal for $324, but the plug is $99.
