Anaheim, CA (January 30, 2008) - We dig how versatile APHEX stuff is... just check out how their 230 Master Voice Processor is able to shape guitar tone! In this video we check out how their 412 Bass Xciter can clean up and round out your acoustic guitar tone -- think of it as more of an enhancement than an effect.
