I'm pretty sure it doesnt include a regulator. The tank itself may be pricey. I ended up paying 135 for my 80cu bottle w/gas. Colin if you need a regulator. I've got an extra one, but it has a fucked up working pressure gauge.

you may want to wire another pot inline with the one on the machineand put the second pot in the pedal. that way 'flooring it' will give you the current that you preset via the machine.
that's how most pedals are setup, afaik

this setup works; i can't complain...
it shouldn't cost you $400 to get started w/ this pos; unless you have to buy the tank. Most places let you rent tanks for a very reasonable fee. I've not priced one here but back in tx i rented a 250cu tank for $10/mo and got it filled for $38 and some change
