I just found someone selling it online. I bought most of my guitar rack 
from
that one guy, actually. And it's not that I find the pmc-10 particulary
lovable, just that it keeps striking me that there's cheap, well-made stuff
floating around out there that's a lot better than most of the things
available new. Most of those talented engineers who worked in the music
industry a few years ago are now making a lot more money designing add-in
multimedia products for pc's. :-)  Sort of like if you had wanted to buy a
ford mustang in 1981, you would have been better off getting one made 10-15
years before that...

I know several people who have tried every pedal ever created, and they now
use the All Access. It's expensive, but apparently worth it. And the color
is so cool!
