Chris,
I see your point.  And I thought the exact same thing.  I was thinking
that the microsync *might* work when using a line out of the guitar
phrase sampler with a guitar phrase being played through it.  And I
thought that if that didn't work, it might be possible to use the phrase
sampler's built-in metronome to generate MIDI tempo (via the microsync);
then once the two devices are locked in sync, use the guitar pedal (with
quantizing) as normal.

It very well might not work; but it's an idea.  It's a bit better than
spending $350-ish on a Lexicon Jamman or $800-900 on a Gibson Echoplex.
Which are the only two phrase samplers I know of that can sync to MIDI
tempo.
