Excellent read, although I could quite happily have read twice, three or

Two points of pedantry: I think the list of shredders should include
Rhodes not Roads (I'm assuming it's Randy that's referred to) and
Octave's The Cat was a very close knock-off of the ARP Odyssey, not a
Moog -- to the degree that they were sued by ARP apparently.
Keep up the good work.
Wow, good point. Yes it was a clone of an ARP Odyssey.
It had the same kind of sliders and layout of an ARP. And an absurd pitchbend that was
basically an ordinarly potentiometer fader.
As for what it sounded like, here it is, circa 1984, fed through a horrific array of
distortion-producing *things*:
