Stereoization (revisited)

SO... in case you don't remember I was looking for a device that would 
"stereoize" my mono output of the Electro-Harmonix DD16 Reissue.  I 
found it!

OK, I broke my own rules, and went with something that ended up being 
about 3 times my original budget.  Duh.  What started as a $50 add on 
became a $200 device.  I went with a Boss VF-1.  It's actually a very 
cool box.  Half rack.  Fits almost perfectly under the EH DD16.  Some 
velcro and they're one unit.  I'm not going to go into a heavy 
description about this device, but it's got a lot of midi sync 
abilities (nice because the DD16 has MIDI clock out) good sound and you 
can easily find them used on ebay.  One cool thing about it is it's a 
"swiss army knife" type device designed with patches aimed at 
guitarists complete with "amp models" as well as stuff designed for 
keyboardists and vocalists.  The fun was running keyboard stuff through 
the guitar models for some nice distorto fun.  The amp models weren't 
all that on my guitar, but actually really shown when my keyboards were 
sent through them.

Anyway, it's easy to program, good 24 bit effects, lot's of them 
totally over the top fuck-shit-up mania. Seems to be pretty good about 
the tone when bypassed as well, which is a plus.
