How's it compare to the vortex? Or to word another way - >keeping the vortex? >sean I doubt I'll ever willingly part with my Vortex--the modules are to my untutored mind, fairly unique and difficult to emulate with other gear I own I'll try and post more after I have more quality time with it, but first impressions are very favorable--even with the little hum glitch on mine > >best- > >Mark (desperately trying to avoid more mail on strings and picking technique) drone on~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tom Lambrecht hideo@concentric.net
