Bob:
thanks for the killer tip. I'm definately looking for a
cool "old school" Fender-sounding tremolo/vibrato type
effect. Something lush and full and capable of subtle
variations. I'm mostly a straight-ahead Fender Bassman amp
+ Reverb Unit type of surf player...but a little "pulse"
would be a nice addition to my sound and creative spirit.
I will look into your device.
thanks again
