Interesting. I'd been getting interested in the new Seymour Duncan  
tremolo, but I'll have to check this out. I just wish one of these  
things would have the envelope sensitivity of the Line6 modulation  
modeler. It's also a bit awkward having this many controls on  
something that will be on the floor while I'll probably be standing  
up. Given that they did MIDI in, it would be nice if it supported  
presets that could be summoned via MIDI.
