Mark Hammer	Re: backwards effect There is a sample of a reverse tape effect done with a hot-wired BOSS digital delay pedal on Tone Frenzy, that is absolutely stunning. Wish I knew exactly how to do it. You need to remember that true reverse emulation requires ALL sonic transitions to be reversed, and volume is only one of them. Plucked notes generally start out brighter and dull out as the string continues vibrating, so a good tape reverse fake should slowly get brighter, not just louder. Most deliberate analog reverse boxes like the Slow Gear and Gator don't do that. Not sure how good a handle the Guyatone has on this.
