  1. And not only is this app great, it has been updated every month so far (sometimes even 2 times and up to 3 times a month) and constantly gets better- Thanks Holderness Media Inc!

    1. And it can model an early ’60s Miazzi Echomatic multiple-tap tape delay… look out Hank Marvin! These are truly wonderful times.
