Thanks. I have a few EPROMs coming, via eBay, but won't be able to 
compare until I receive them, because I don't have any others of any 
sort on hand. To give an idea of the sound I'm hearing, it's a little 
like when you bump a guitar amp that has a spring reverb; sort of a 
crashing sound. It actually sounds kind of cool through an effects 
processor. I'm not quite set up for sampling and posting the sound just 
yet. Anyway, I'll have to see if I can find some other non-Simmons 
eproms to play around with!
