How about some type of arpeggiator pedal? Something that can take patterns, notes or textures and reassemble them in loops, either randomly or in preset rhythmic patterns (with the ability to adjust tempo via a BPM dial)

I'm thinking of the vintage ARP's and VSC 3's, complete with nobs for tweaking patterns and tones just like those early generators.

BOSS has their rather gimmicky Slicer, which takes a weak stab at this basic idea, but falls woefully short. Other than that, and apart from Delays and Looping devices which do something altogether different, there's nothing out there. Think "pattern and melody generator"...

Are you really friends with Paul Castronovo or is that just for show? That guy is such a bloated, unimaginative windbag. And he thinks Foreigner and Billy Squier represent the good 'ol days of rock n' roll. That last part is unforgivable. What gives Brad?
