looks like an interesting unit... and probably cheap ;-)
I had planned to do a digital version of the Polysubbass for a long 
time so I wonder how his one works. The idea is the same. But mine 
only works with separate strings.

You say: "only works on the lowest notes."
I hardly ever switch my Polysubbass off. Does this unit allow to 
combine it with most other effects?
