correct in that "sustain" is actually simply "volume" and that the <BR>EGs are
always AR?<BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>

<DIV>The Taurus 1 is a Dave Luce design. The "sustain" label is a misnomer. It
should be labeled "VCA Contour Amount" as it is in the same configuration as the
"Filter Contour Amount."</DIV>

<DIV>Kevin isn't kidding when he writes: "several things that are weird on
T1's". Not only do the attack stages have different ranges, they're short
too: 5 - 560 mSec for the loudness and 5 - 56 mSec for the filter. Both decays
are 50 mSec - 2.8 seconds. Until I saw the specs for these, I assumed they were
longer.</DIV>

<DIV>Weird design or not, they still sound great. I think "Xanadu" & "Cygnus
X-1" when Taurus pedals are mentioned and "I Don't Care Anymore" and the
Police and Renaissance..........</DIV>
