Re: [Harp-L] B3/accordion sound

["Dan Axt" <dapperdan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I use a Digitech XP200 Modulator.  It has 6 rotary settings that deal with 
horn speed and braking.  There are also chorus, flanger, phaser, vibrato, 
tremolo, auto pan(if you are using two amps), and volume control.  I don't 
use any of the other effects, but I'm real happy with the leslie effect. The 
modulator has a pedal so I can control the 'speed' of the horn.  I'm pretty 
happy with it.  I guess Digitech doesn't make it any more.  It may be 
available on e-bay.  Dan Axt
