[sdiy] ace tone ps 1000

[ganesha]

Sorry for crossposting because I allready posted this
on the AH list, but I've uploaded pics of my ace tone
PS1000 here:
http://www.krinkel.be/acetone/
Everyone is free to use the pics wherever they want
but I advice you to download them because it's my
friends' webspace so I can't leave them there forever.

regards,
Kris
