Re: evolver vs. nord micro modular

2004-04-26 by austinvhuang

I gathered from the rather un-impressive Roger Linn guitar demos on
the evolver site that the evolver is probably poorer than a micromod
or adrenalinn as an effects unit. 

Still I have hope that the filters and amp modeler might sound nice on
a guitar, and maybe you can do some tremelo type effects with the LFO.

I'm not making money off music (don't plan to anytime soon). So a
couple hundred bucks is still a big investment. It's not that easy to
pick up both. I'm a poor graduate student.
