There's no controlling the atmosphere in Wisconsin, but the state does have a lot of beautiful women. The statement is likely a half-truth.  ------------------

heh, I had one of those tanks in a Peavey Pacer guitar amp. I definitely think the touch of a beautiful girl made it sound that much sweeter. |

"By 1964, the increasingly busy Hammond Organ Company had run out of room to produce the reverb units. So Hammond moved production to another Hammond-owned unit, Gibbs Manufacturing, in Janesville, Wisconsin. In 1971, the reverb business moved again to another Hammond unit, Accutronics® , in Geneva, Illinois. Meanwhile, employees at Gibbs decided to start making their own reverb manufacturing company called O.C. Electronics, giving Accutronics major competition in the reverb market. Many service technicians still recall O.C. Electronics because of the popular sticker attached to each of their units stating: “ Made by Beautiful Woman in Janesville, Wisconsin.”
