i'm glad you said that. i feel like a heretic when i
think it ;) i've tried different reverbs and i don't
like them half as much (not in terms of tone, but in
terms of effect) as delay.

yeah, but isn't it a pain to bend down at the
beginning of every song and click the "tap" button? it
sounds like a neat studio effect, perhaps.

i think i know what you're talking about, Richard. my
Danecho PB&J does weird things to the sound when i do
that, i especially like going from a long delay to a
short delay - the pitch of what i just played bends
way up, and of course there's a repeating factor to
it. hard to describe. i've heard similar effects in
electronica.
