We've had a noisy house lately but I finally had some quiet time to make a video. I wish I had a better camera, but you'll get the idea.

Yes, you can adjust the settings as much as any other pedal.

The left front tire is LEVEL,
the right front tire is DRIVE,
and the right rear tire is TONE

The left rear tire is a dead pot and not utilized but still serves as a matching axle. :D

Sarah - TOO COOL - I am laughing so loud some of my co-workers had to come over - My LAUGHING is A GOOD thing... This is really awesome...

Lets see - a woman, a TRUE Mosrite fanatic, a picker, a tinkerer, and part machinist - If I wasn't married I'd be on a plane to sunny california RIGHT NOW!

There's a traffic jam in Harlem that's backed up to Jackson Heights
There's a Scout troop short a child
Khrushchev's due at Idlewild...(that dates it, doesn't it!)

Car 54, where are you....!

And I'm amazed that I can actually remember the words to the theme song after all these years--I can't remember what I had for lunch today!
