Since I don't have a tron, what makes Rick's sound so amazing at this 
period??  How much does Eddie play a part here?  Personally, my 
favorite tron period...  I know my Prophet 5 still sounds the best 
through an Echoplex...  Is it that simple??

I recall reading that Rick re-did the tron tapes with DBX or some 
noise reduction and of course he built his double tron with probably 
some upgrades(?) I always thought the first tron entrance 
in "Revealing Science of God" sounded fantastic,lots of some type of 
reverb was added obviously.I personally did the Tony Banks trick with 
splitting the mono signal into stereo with an echo device,and added 
reverb to both sides.
