It is a virtual Copicat, nothing wrong with that but impossible to get the Shadows echoes because of lack of a fourth replay head.
If the Zoom G3 isn't your thing, the eTap2hw is superb. I'm currently doing some demoes with my one of my eTap machines as I did for the Zoom. Watch this space, it could save you money. :)

Thanks both for your thoughts, was going to buy a G3 but i have several diy effects i use so thought i would perhaps buy one of the Joyo AC Tone pedals and use individual pedals, i guess an etap would do the job, i've gone full circle in my thoughts in the last week :roll:
Thanks
