Hi Charles and gang,

When building/designing the JKMK6, onboard efx
was a major topic.  I almost chose PAIA's  "Hot-Springs"
(tm) Reverb unit within. This has dual cascading
reverb tanks for all the delay you'll ever need.

As an engineering challenge, I chose Accutronics
Series-9 units, with drivers/amps of my own design.
These 6-spring units are incredible, and can provide
more than enough delay .  Rumor also has it that that
the R&D staff at Accutronics are working on a EIGHT
spring unit, coupled with D/A and A/D conversion.

Can anyone get me a job in Cary, ILL ?? Cheers, JK
