Don't you just love music store drones? Not only are they generally
ignorant, but they assume they know everything. I spent an afternoon in
Portland recently looking for the new Electro-Harmonix Q-tron envelope
follower. Not only did no one have it in stock, but several sales drones
tried to convince that it didn't exist, I was misinformed, and one even
tried to patiently explain to me what an envelope follower really does. I
want to get a button to wear to these places that says, "Don't assume I'm
stupid".

By the way,I believe the Boss SP-202 is the unit you're talking about. It
is neither a floor or rack unit, it's more along the lines of the TB 303,
kind of a cross between a really big caluclator and a table top synth
module.
