Re: Alesis Modfx



Hey Tony, I have them in hand just now. They are much smaller than I 
thought 
(good thing). you say
that you use them with other effects. What point in your chain do you put 
them? I can see many hours of experimentation ahead. I think I'll make a 
mini documentary on the process. I would love to hear any tips you have. 
Off 
list if this is going OT.

Best,
Jeff
