Re: whats the effect, kenneth? (OT)



Hey loopers,

They are a bit hard to find, but the Boss PN-2 Tremelo/Pan gets a strong
on/off sound as well, with variable depth and speed control.(it can go
reaaaaaally sloooow)  I have had mine for about 8 years now and i'm
dreading when it's just gonna get up and die.  Although the Modulation
Modeler coming from Line6 is supposed to have a modeled tremelo in it...We
shall see...

later,

rich
