+1 on Hollow Sun and Hideaway products. Excellent vintage, retro, pre-old school relics with big bang for the buck. This new "lite" line is even less expensive than their other gizzmos and gadgets from ye old' past. Cheap? yes, but QUALITY for the price of a cup of jo.
Here is a blurb from the new product Cronk-O-Tron:
Cronk-O-Tron (as the name suggests) is a cheap and cheerful thing with a dark and crusty old tone. It’s made up of layers of stuff carefully blended to create a vintage/retro kind of strings/voice pad sound – lo-fi and wobbly.
