Re: Why Vortex flopped...?
I wonder if the Vortex would have been better marketed as a "Try it
for 30 days" bit instead. And I'll agree, it was priced too high,
considering it was competing with some very full-featured (if
mind-bogglingly dull and generic) multi-effects from other companies.
I dunno about the EH16 of the 90s, though. After all, I got to the
bottom of my EH16 pretty quickly. Sometimes I don't feel I've even
scratched the surface of the Vortex.
Unfortunately, I've had little time to work with the Vortex since I
got good pickups installed in my acoustic guitar. Using it with the
acoustic is a whole new ball game. The sharp, percussive attack and
wide dynamic range of the acoustic guitar feels very different from
the electric, especially distorted electric. I do miss wrapping
clouds of ambience around sustaining notes, though. Maybe I'll
figure out some way to get good distortion again...

Obversely, that the incomplete, or the mutilated, is the ugly.
