Well, who knows, Fran?

I certainly take Roland at their word when they say there ARE considerable hardware differences. Plus, I don't think the mp3 player has anything to do with the IFX section. AFAIK, when you use the mp3 player on the E80, it doesn't disable any of the effects blocks, so I don't think that is the mechanism used.

But finally, to be honest, adding an mp3 player to the G70 is the LAST thing that Roland should do to it! There are still a few OS niggles that need changing a LOT more than adding yet another marginally useful NEW feature.

And BRING BACK THE CHORD SEQUENCER...! The hell with MP3's!
