I have an original, which only works when
it feels like it these days.
luckily I also have se50 & se70
boxes.... I know what qua is referring to, though- the original slow-gear was
just a simple auto-volume pedal, & could be used to great effect on fretless
bass & so on.
but the same effect in an se70 could be
followed by a bit of chorus, vibrato, reverb, even mild pitch-shifting, for a
much lusher effect. I have a vague memory that the se70 had a factory-preset
called "slow-gear" with some of this other guff already
added.
I am absolutely baffled by boss' continued
reluctance to re-issue or update this little gem. perhaps the behringer
knock-off is the kick they need.
btw, I paid £25 for my original, in
denmark street in 1983.
duncan.
