I agree!

You never know when you'll find something good.

I have always thought it was cool. It's cool sounding and it's even cooler
that you dug it up and made it work! 

My efforts to "fix" it have been purly for my education and your
entertainment. There is nothing "wrong" with it. I'm just having 
fun. 

The bottom line is it sounds good and it's super simple! I though 
it sounded different and tried to find out why.

It has a fuzz/wah thing going the ota version won't do, I could
fix it right out of any character.
