In addition to tried and true standard effects, the Pandora mini also provides unusual effects such as an intelligent pitch shifter for produces musical harmonies, an acoustic simulator, and a guitar synth. It's the perfect unit for every style of guitarist or bassist.

Use the Aux input to play along using to any CD or MP3, or take the spotlight and play that classic performance note-for-note. Of the 200 Preset programs, 160 are designed for guitar and 40 are designed for bass.

200 easily-edited user programs

Of course you can also edit your own sounds and store up to 200 of them as User programs. In conjunction with the presets, this gives you a total of 400 programs. Up to seven different effects can be used simultaneously. The effects are organized by category, and you can use the value dial to intuitively edit the parameters. Some effects provide multiple parameters, allowing more detailed control over your sound. You can also assign your favorite programs to the four independent program memory buttons for instant recall.

Customer Reviews
4 out of 5 (5 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Great Idea, a couple problems"
Value: For $99.00 you get what you paid for Manufacturer Support: Have not used any support Overall: So the idea was this- attach the thing to my guitar and be free of having to hover over a foot pedal for the entire gig. Just plug the output into my wireless unit and wander the stage at will. A couple of things keep this idea from happening. First, almost every sound comes with a plethora of digital noise that will not go away no matter what. This is such an obvious problem it's hard to believe that a fine company like Korg would not address this issue before releasing the product. The second issue is actually more about me than them. I wish there were more than four assignment buttons on the front so I could access more instant sounds on the fly. Just two more buttons would help a lot.I love the shirt pocket size of the unit but unfortunately for my original idea of foot pedal independence, tuning on the fly requires me to unmount the unit from my guitar so I can look at the face. A series of two tuning lights on the top would solve this problem nicely. And speaking of mounting it on my axe, a metal case that can attach to a smooth surface by screws or heavy duty velcro would be very cool as well. Now, I know that Korg didn't design the Pandora for this but it would be great if they would consider a future model with these features. I'd buy one immediately.The Pandora as it is makes a nifty practice unit. The sounds are fun to play with and several of them are outstanding. A pair of headphones and only one AA battery and your good to go. It's pretty rugged too with a sturdy molded case and easy controls. If it wasn't for that damn digital noise I could rate it much higher. Not for use in the studio but great for practice.
Style of Music: Just about any genre imaginable.

Overall: This is the "James Bond" guitar effect. Coolest and MOST COMPLEX for it's size.With '69 Les in hand and '70's MM212 Tube Amp,the sounds are incredible.Bought two.....one in each color....just like James would have done to match whatever his attire called for. Vodka Martini.....shaken not stirred.
Style of Music: alternative country retro blues and folk
