Bitrman

["David Kirkdorffer" <vze2ncsr@verizon.net>]

I got the distortion oriented Alesis device - the Bitrman..  Cheap.  Light.
And a perfect in-studio little distortion box with a wide wide range of
sounds for $40.  Imagine getting some of the sounds Jeff Beck made on Wired
and There and Back and that boggled the minds of every guitar player I knew
for just $40.

Crazy.
