Antares ATG-1 Floor Processor Now Available

I just checked out the email they sent today. It really is cool technology but for $699 I would just get an evertuned guitar and be done with it.
 
Only $699? (retail price: $899.00). Why, no thank you.

Was thinking of getting the Peavey guitar, would be nice to put new strings on the guitar and tune it, etc. then let the auto-tune keep it in tune for recording.
I've asked about it but no one's saying anything. Think I read that it doesn't work perfectly with palm-mutes.
May still get the guitar, but $699.00 for this and it doesn't even include the 13-pin connector and the pick-up.. mjeeeeeeeeeeh..
 
I tried the guitar at Guitar Center when they came out. It seemed fine on palm mutes and pinches but the guitar felt like total garbage. Like worse than a squier stratocaster.
 
Played one of the Peaveys and it wasn't too bad (worked great, just feels cheap). Almost bought it, but I want to use my Paul and Explorer. Just hate playing anything else after all these years.
 
Bought a VGS with an Evertune bridge for 500€ and it's great (would buy some killer pups tho). So not for me...
 
I'm always on low-budget guitars, right now it's a Cort KX5, but I need to save up to something better..
It's not bad, but right now I'm not that happy with it..
I would love to record with "perfect tuning and intonation", but the whole Analogue to Digital to Analogue is a bit mjeeeeeeeeeeh..
I don't know..
 
Well what bugs me is not at all the "analog to digital to analog" thing which is obviously quite common nowadays, and moreover quite easy to do with the coverters/sample rates/bit depths available at this time, but the processing behind the pitch detection (rereading I figured out you needed a hex pickup so that's less of a problem, but still...) and tuning of each string separately that I really doubt can be achieved without real compromise to the tonal integrity...
Well there's only one way to figure out which is trying it!

That's sort of what I meant, the processing must degrade it.
I haven't played one of the Peaveys though, they don't sell them here and I haven't heard any in-depth testing of tone..
