thank god i love synthesisers. as i am an Hammond organist i often 
wonder how ridiculous my rig would be if i insisted on using _just_ the 
Hammond as the source for all my loop-music. i'm sure that it would 
involve a leslie and an iso-box and all sorts of other space-involving 
considerations.

but now that i think about it, i did have plenty of fun with an L-100 
and a Pod last year.

keep us posted on your overdrive solution. i'd love to hear about where 
it goes.
