Recording eight tracks at once is easy, thanks to a new “Multi-Track” recording mode—just pick your inputs and start recording while taking advantage of powerful channel effects like a compressor, 3-band EQ and bass cut filter.

These include powerful overdrive/distortion and amp modelling identical to the BOSS GT-6, acoustic and bass effects, plus mic modelling and a new Vocal Tool Box. This special algorithm includes auto pitch correction to keep you in tune, plus a Harmony Sequence function for creating realistic harmonies—no background singers needed!

Using these tracks, you can build professional-quality arrangements for your guitar and vocals.
