FEATURES- Black Box
       Co-developed by M-Audio and Roger Linn Design, the Black Box is the 
        first creative tool for guitarists that combines amp modeling, 
        powerful beat-synced effects and a drum machine with an audio 
        interface for computer-based recording. Based on AdrenaLinn II 
        technology, the Black Box can be used as a stand-alone amp-modeling 
        and effects unit featuring spot-on models of 12 of the greatest 
        guitar amps of all time. 99 built-in drum patterns with tap tempo 
        make it easy to try out different grooves and tempos. 
       The Black Box also incorporates tons of inspiring unique effects 
        that automatically beat-sync to your drum patterns. A built-in 
        microphone preamp is also included for recording and processing 
        vocals and acoustic instruments. One simple USB connection sends 
        your output to your favorite computer-based recording software--and 
        syncs the Black Boxs drums and effects to your tracks. The Black 
        Box gives you killer tone, groundbreaking effects, huge beats and 
        easy recording all in a single, easy-to-use package.
* Amp Modeling--Vintage to Modern 
   The Black Box tears it up with 12 virtual amp models based on AdrenaLinn 
   technology that span the gamut of the tools needed by the modern 
   guitarist. You get killer models based on Fender Bassman, Fender Deluxe, 
   Fender Twin, Vox AC 30, Marshall JTM-45, Marshall Plexi, Marshall 
   JCM-2000, Hiwatt DR-103, Soldano SLO-100, Mesa Boogie Maverick, Mesa 
   Boogie Dual Rectifier and Bogner Uberschall. These virtual amp models 
   are so realistic that you will not know the difference when you close 
   your eyes but your back and wallet will.
* Beat-Synced Effects 
   All effects are beat-synchronized to the drums or external MIDI clock 
   so they are always in sync with your grooves and sequences. In addition 
   to standards like tremolo, delay, chorus, auto-wah and talk box, the 
   Black Box has a variety of unique effects such as filter sequencing and 
   arpeggios that let you create sounds you've never heard before. There is
   also an independent beat-synced delay with controls for note division, 
   number of repeats and volume. Combined with amp modeling, these effects 
   are totally awesome. You can also process your guitar, microphone or 
   drum patterns through the DSP effects for some truly out there original 
   sounds.

   sounds.
