As a newly de-lurking reader, could someone kindly fill me in on the 
Vortex.
I have been using a JamMan w/32 sec upgrade since spring and would like to
know how the Vortex compares, differs, etc. I almost got the Vortex instead
of the JamMan but my income tax return only allowed for one or the other,
and a sudden price shift in the Musicians Friend catalog decided it for me,
but I have often wondered what I missed out on. I am assuming, due to their
absence from recent catalogs and remarks made on this list, that the Vortex
is an endangered species. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,
