[sdiy] Advice / audio manglers

[James R. Coplin]

The Sherman is brutal, I love mine *and* I have a large modular setup *and*
Reaktor. I use the Sherman more than my modulars when I want really shread
something up. It does take a while to get used to though. It isn't a "turn
everything to 11" piece even though its nature would lead you to believe so.
You need to kind of massage the sound into the controlled nastiness. I'm
looking to pick up a second so I can run stereo.
