I never thought I would sell this one. [edit] and it looks like I wont!

move along folks, nothing to see
The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    Well, the Empress distortion is great - but it's the same as the one in the multi-drive and you lose the other options... so unless you need the real estate sticking with the multi-drive is a good decision.

    Besides, you know the proper answer is to get the empress distortion AS WELL!

    I was trying to replace the multidrive but all I could find that I wanted was the empress distortion pedal. :-(
    so it was a fruitless exercise. 

    and @Teetonetal I would even say the empress is the best distortion I have ever used. 
    It has so much gain but it retains all its note definition. I absolutely love it.
