Korg A2

The Korg A2 is a digital rack-mounted guitar processing unit with a choice of 102 different programs and 97 effects chains.

Peter Gabriel's Korg A2
A Korg A2 and A3 were amongst the processing devices used on Peter Gabriel's Us record. During sections of "Digging In The Dirt", for example, the live drums and the Akai MPC-60 drum beat were fed through the A2 or the A3 to obtain the "tanky" kind of feel. One of the programs were adjusted by engineer David Bottrill to make it more of a drum processor.

Phil Collins' Korg A2
Phil Collins used the Korg A2 to help reproduce guitar sounds on the Both Sides album via keyboards as he was the sole musician on the album. The raw guitar samples from the E-mu Emulator III would be fed through a few presets on the Korg A2, with adjustments to the delay settings to provide a more accurate guitar sound.
