Coincidentally, I think that's my favorite of your CD's.  A hidden 
gem that deserves more notice than it got.  :)

I think I remember that sound as well, or something like it (there 
are many, many interesting moments on that disc).  Unfortunately, 
'Purple Hand' is back in storage with all my other physical CD's, so 
I can't check.  :(

That's brilliant!  Which BOSS shifters are you using?  There's a 
Behringer clone that's supposed to be a pretty good replica of the 
PS-5.  If it's as cheap as some of their other knock-off pedals, it 
might be worth going out and buying two of them just to try this out.

Thanks for the ideas, Rick!!!
