Dotcomformat

hi jon.

thanks a lot for giving us this review. i think this makes cotk a little less mysterious.
just to make sure i understand, do you have both dotcom and cotk power supplies in the 
same portable cabinet?

i can add that i've emailed with kazike a little and he kindly shared some mp3 demos of 
his delay module. still wiping the drool off my chin...
