By the way, and both on and off topic...

The reason the Rhodes Suitcase electric piano's tremolo sounds the
way it does, and is almost impossible to emulate, is because the
preamp contains 2 square wave modulated vactrols controling 2 VCAs.

Even when the tremolo is switched off, the vactrols are still active
(i.e. full voltage to both), and that's where some say the individual
sound of each Suitcase come from.

Kevin
