Yeah Mark, there was also a little unit I called the "shoebox" or
"carry-on".  I got three Digitech 2 second delay pedals--forget the model
no., but they were pretty good bandwidth: 12 or 15K, unlike the 8 sec floor
pedal which some people have mentioned here), tore them up and routed all
the pots & switches to my own, crammed all the PCB's (along with a
similarly-stripped Microverb) into a box about 12 X 9 X 5".  Had a
mixing-matrix too, of course.  It was a screamer!  Only recording it really
got featured on was a concert recording which was on, I think, AD7
(cassette from some little label in CA).  Unfortunately, a real underground
venue in Pittsburgh had questionable AC and smoke came out of the poor
little thing!  Was never the same....
