Yes, the MS 20 is an extremely cumbersome way to process your guitar--your
friend should sell it to me instead (grin)

Seriously, it's a great piece, tho' because of it's modular nature it will
take more time (and patch cords) initially to get the neat sounds, but that
also makes it versatile for getting really twisted sounds

--the Roalnd SH's (believe the 9 also has an external input) and the SCI 
Pro
1 are a little more straightforward if not as versatile--that;s the 
tradeoff
between synths with internal patching and modulars . . .

I would play with it first to see what it will do for you axe . . .

and then if you don't like it, give your friend my e-mail address ;)
