[TechAssist] Re: Gibson longshot

should have mentioned that I guess,  this one doesn't have a foot switch
jack, none of the controls have a switch on them either, I assume that the
reverb and tremelo are active all the time and you simply control there
amount from  0 to full with the pots ?   thanks for the suggestion,
brock
