Thanks. I have a few EPROMs coming, via eBay, but won't be able to
compare until I receive them, because I don't have any others of any
sort on hand. To give an idea of the sound I'm hearing, it's a little
like when you bump a guitar amp that has a spring reverb; sort of a
crashing sound. It actually sounds kind of cool through an effects
processor. I'm not quite set up for sampling and posting the sound just
yet. Anyway, I'll have to see if I can find some other non-Simmons
eproms to play around with!
