When I was a kid, I sent away for the Electra catalog and thought their idea of having effects modules inside the guitar was brilliant. (hey....I was a kid in the 70's!)
Anyways....in the mid-90's, I came across this Electra MPC super cheap and jumped on it. I even got 2 of the coolest effect cartridges for it (try finding THOSE for cheap!). Inside it I have the Octaver, which is only a 1 octave down grinding tone that rocks....and I also have the Flanger in there, which is probably the most bad-ass flanger I've ever heard. Both effects have a knob to control their mix, and a big on/off toggle. At times....it's almost like having a hand-controllable Whammy-pedal on your guitar.
It was an ugly dark sunburst when I bought it, so I sprayed it metallic silver. Truth be told, even with all of the cool info about this guitar....it's pretty much a cheapo axe that isn't good enough to use very much.....but I've been wanting to throw this out there to see who else remembers this company and their whole effects-cartridge concept.
