I also was confused by this posting. However, since it was cleared
up.... I have also used the Scholtz 'Rockman' and found it have
unbelievable sound. The only shortfall that I found was since I have
large fingers I had a problem switching the correct switch. Stuck
between the horns of a dilemma ??? :-)  NO!!!! Tom Scholtz, also of
Scholtz R&D, has invented the 'Sustainor'!!!!. The great sound of the
Rockman, but rack mounted (half slot) and foot-controlled.
        FEATURES:
                - 2 channel switchable (clean & distorted)
                - vol boost for leads
                - **** distortion level controlled by vol pot on ax
                without a change to the volume. (nice feature)
                - preamp section
                - noisegate
                - phase cancelling for mikeing
        I have been more than satisfied with my Sustainor. Also, it
costs <$300 and I built my own custom stompbox to control it.

*****   I do not work for Scholtz R&D. I'm just a satisfied customer.
