Addendum: Agh! Scratch my previous comment. I did a little more
digging and found that Boss cheaped out and just used a plain old
ordinary distortion circuit in this box (running a summed output of
all six strings) rather than implementing a true polyphonic
distortion. Talk about a missed opportunity.
Sorry for the distraction. Carry on....
