Re: Bitrman

Yes I also just picked up that deal at Musician's Friend for $40.

Crazy sounds - interstellar space, white noise, etc. Also maybe a nice

prank here to set somebody's guitar up with all telephone electronic sounds or

exorcist tubular bells...however for straight guitar playing I lost patience with

it real quick- too much loco morphing...Has anyone tried the others in the set?...

    Also soon I plan to get the retro Phase 90 and Electro-Harmonix Big Muff "Pi"

sustainer/distortion- any feedback on those?...

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.
