[A6] Vox Key Number - Analog (%$!#$#) Distortion

[Richard]

I never use the distortion, its a shame they didn't put something more
useful in, ironically, a properly controllable digital distortion would
actually be
more useful

Multifx FX for the A6? something warming and unrealistic, not a TC or modern
lexicon, my favourites, in order of cost:

Boss se70 (proper distortion too)
ensonic DP4
Lexicon PCM70
Eventide Eclipse

these are my babies and I kiss them goodnight every night

I also use a varispeed Revox 1/4" tape machine for proper old echoes and
feedback
