 I can't determine who started this so I'll post this publicly &
hopefully the original party will see it. If you just want time domain
effects and pitch manipulation (no distortion) try a Rocktron
Intellifex. I bought mine new for %50 off list (mail order) at Rhythym
City in Goergia. It's not a slicer/dicer/swiss army knife unit. It does
time domain: reverbs/echos/pitch manipulation/flanging/echo/chorus and
is MIDI controllable and has MIDI channel mapping. MIDI as in program
select and I think real-time parameter control. It has a 24 bit
processing, ( a lot of units are only 16 bit) and DOES NOT GLITCH when
changing programs. It also has a function called "ducking" for reverb
and echo. When you play the unit can be programed to reduce the volume
of echos and/or reverbs while you are playing and then return the
echo/reverbs to original volume when you pause/stop playing. This way
the echos/reverbs don't mush up what you play. The level of attenuation
is programmable. It is also very quiet.

                                            Hope this helps,
