News Paul 2006-11-18

It just occurred to me that it would be great to have the power and reset buttons toggle a couple of built in effects.

Maybe you could house filter circuits in different carts and swap them out for different sounds (though looking at this particular mod, you probably couldn't fit a full cart inside anymore). Anyone know of other cool guitar mods or hacks?
