Stupid question

Other than the extra footswitch, is there a difference between the MGMV and the Sea Blue one available through the custom shop? Thanks!

In terms of the sounds that can be achieved,Bjorn told me all the same sounds can be achieved or atleast approximated with both.

The second stomp is a preset which is set with an internal trimmer,it lets you set a high speed,low amplitude setting for the preset and switch between that and a slower,wobblier sound with the stomp switch.So it's very useful if you want to switch between 2 sounds on the fly in the same song.

One of the mini vibe's greatest tricks is to set it fast with the amplitude very low,set this way it will exaggerate or even emulate the natural harmonic chime of the guitar,it's really wonderful at doing that.If the two stomp can switch between this and a slower,throbier sound with the press of a footswitch then i think it would be very useful addition indeed.I have the regular not the two stomper so someone else might be better to explain it.

Well the second stomp changes two things - one is the speed and the other is the cupsize - it goes to a not as wobbly width which is better at faster speeds so it doesnt go so seasickish.....

So....it switches to a preset higher speed and to a low 'amplitude' setting?

In the 'smaller cupsize' setting,is the 'amplitude' fixed or is it still controllable with the knob,albeit in a lower range?

Thanks,David.

If I remember right it switches to the smaller cup and the fastest speed, but there is an internal trim to bring t he speed down if you want ... so its kind of thinner fast leslie and fatter slow throb.....

the amplitude is universal and the speed knob on top is just for the fatter sound.....
