Re: Fwd: Re: delay pedal

[johnny-rover@xxxxxxx]

Has anyone tried Danelectro's new "Reel Echo"?  What did you think of it?
http://www.danelectro.com/reelecho.htm

I'm wondering if the same impedance/tone dilemma from the "Dan Echo" applies to 
it, and if so, can the same mod (as the Dan Echo) be done?
