It has “the tone and response of a tube amplifier, hi-fi stereo output for playing along with a backing track and a range of effects to modify the tone,” like Modern, British Hi Gain, Lead, Crunch and Clean. It also has four dual effector circuits: Chorus, Flanger, Phaser and Tremolo. Watch the instructional lab video to see and hear a demonstration of the range of sounds.

First seen almost a year ago but did not mess with it until killing time in an Apple store last week. If you like modern, minimal, music, and have an iPod, this is worth a peek. It will set you back $600 USA but you get design, music, and art.
What’s HD radio?

HD Radio
Speaking of music, do you know what HD radio is? A confusing marketing ploy, it does not stand for “high definition” music or hybrid-digital — HD radio combines analog and digital signals to provide a higher quality broadcast. In Chicago alone there are 23 additional HD FM stations you could tune to. Some people pay $13/mo for satellite radio, yet HD is free if you buy a HD radio.

There is a lot of info on the internet. I wish I knew about HD several weeks ago. We recently bought a new car and did not take the HD radio option.
