Re: [motm] ART Levelar review - another impression

2000-12-16 by jwbarlow@aol.com

Thanks for the review Larry! Unfortunately (like you) I am looking for a good 
distortion device -- specifically for guitar. I guess I'm still looking. I 
should note that my Serge Wavemultipliers are great for synths, but don't 
sound much different (or any more interesting) from certain types of fuzz 
when used with guitar. So maybe a good distortion for guitar won't make a 
good wavemangler for a synth. Of course, some people have told me they think 
the Wavemultipliers are really just fuzzbox circuits -- hmmm, maybe a VC fuzz 
module...
