Fire Engine Glitch – Latest Firmware – Factory Preset

Well there you go.  Clearly I had absolutely no clue in regards to the reference to 5-0.  You learn something new each day.

The more I'm using the TF the more I am finding the incredible sound possibilities of this thing!

Sounds awesome – cant wait to find more undiscovered tones!
