Topic: Help! What Korg?

I was reading one of the topics' last week it was posted by "gitaardocphil," he seemed to be a bit down at the time due to his health.  Anyway he said he could only play for thirty minutes or so, and he only played for himself; then he said that's when he used his KORG ? I forget the exact name but something about drums or some kind of backing machine. And of course I could not find the Topic again  I wonder if Doc; that's what lots of members call him so I hope he does not mind me calling him that.
I fly out to America on Tuesday for three weeks, and if I knew what this Korg thing was if it was any good I could problay buy it in the USofA a lot cheeper than here in Belfast, in one ot the Three Music shops we have for a city the size of Belfast it is quite big.
Well if anyone can help, even Doc himself I would be greatful; but Monday Night is the deadline.

Luck to all. !!!

Re: Help! What Korg?

Hi Headcase,
Korg makes the Tone Works line of modeling processors. Several models to choose from including USB enabled Pandora units.  It allows a significant amount of effects available to the guitarist (or Bassist) and includes a module with around 100 percussion presets.  Seems tho me that there was a review of the Korg line in Musician's Friend catalog awhile back that you might be able to link to on their site, or you can likely find a retailer via the Korg website.
