What I said is true but I don't want to give the impression that there
is no thought given to what I want gear to do. I read reviews and
watch the vids, hang out at forums and such leading up to the purchase
of new gear...well except when I am afflicted with bad GAS in the
middle of the night and just go wow I gotta have one of those! So I
usually have an idea of what said gear will do. I am not always happy
with it and have returned quite a bit of gear that wouldn't do right
for me.

With the Time Bender the main reason givento me by people that didn't
like it is that it won't sound or do things like (insert pds
delay/Vortex), etc, etc. I was looking for something different so that
may be why I wasn't disappointed. It makes a nice addition in my
arsenal. Even if I don't use it all the time it remains a keeper for
me.
