 Yep, I do. Can't live without 'em.

 Heh, heh, heh. That unit is the most overpriced piece of vintage 
equipment on the market today. I used to use a Peavey Valverb (a very 
nice tube reverb and tremolo unit) but I hated hauling around a rack case 
to gigs just so I could get a drop of reverb. Now I use a relatively new 
Boss digital reverb and delay stomp box - although, again, I just use the 
reverb. It's an RV-3 and I think Boss has had it out for less than a 
year. *Much* less hassle. I suspect that if you're using an Alesis, 
you're using it for a lot more than just delay.

 To other list members: Sorry about all the amp geeky posts. I get into 
this stuff.
