I got one for free ones upon a time in a store that could not konw what to
do with it (???!!) Yes!. So I don't now what is its real street price, but
you can a hold on it.....

For those who do not know, it is a pedal (EH) with input and ouput both
mono. Then you can adjust, with faders:
Guitar level
A tone an octave lower (quite octaver like but the boss OC-2 et warmer and
more punchy to my opinion)
A square wave at the pitch of the guitar, sounding quite raw, almost like
a fuzz but... (see at "filter...)
A tone an octave above, that a sound you could mistake for a Roland
GR-300 with right FILTER setting (there an hidden message here)

The filter (AH, can't Say I did not warn you)

Analog low pass, resonating at its cutoff frequency with a faders
adjusting 1) the cutoff "in" of the filter when you play your note, then
the cutoff "out" of the note (sorry I don't know haow best say that in
plain english or american). Basically, you adjust the sensitivity of the
pedal with another fader, and the time of decay of the filter, providing
with sensitivity, those to cut-off faders and he decay, a way to have an
envelope for the filter that is even dynamic dependant. Sounds quite good,
don't you think???
