It's the Visor model... You can tell by the clip.

never saw this model  before


That's because this is the near-mythical "dashboard model" . It also  
contains a radar detector. 


If the cops pulled you over for using it since radar detectors are  illegal 
in most municipalities, you just switched the rhythm portion on and  waited 
for the officer with those wonderful beats playing. Worked like a charm  
every time, I hear. 


At gigs, the radar detector could tell if the guitarist was playing too  
many notes, in which case an alarm went off and delivered 50 amps of pure  
power right to the unfortunate guitarist, sending him flying right off the  
stage. As negative reinforcement, it was quite effective. After a few jolts,  
the average reduction in excess guitar notes was well over 50%.


Can't understand why they didn't sell more of 'em...
