Since I don't have a tron, what makes Rick's sound so amazing at this
period?? How much does Eddie play a part here? Personally, my
favorite tron period... I know my Prophet 5 still sounds the best
through an Echoplex... Is it that simple??

I recall reading that Rick re-did the tron tapes with DBX or some
noise reduction and of course he built his double tron with probably
some upgrades(?) I always thought the first tron entrance
in "Revealing Science of God" sounded fantastic,lots of some type of
reverb was added obviously.I personally did the Tony Banks trick with
splitting the mono signal into stereo with an echo device,and added
reverb to both sides.
