i was shocked off me undie's bro !! wicked smooth !!

Ten years ago i disliked this pedal and used it for vocal dist !!..and used a multieffects for guitar ... :lol:

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

other than boss, i wonder if theres any uncles who stashed loads of maestro, coloursound, shinei etc or some of those weird copies from japan!

among all early whacked out drug induced crazy ass vintage effects makers...

Roger Mayer and Foxx made the most visuallyghey and appealing pedals.

More knobs = more tone.
More knobs = rule the world.

Haha actually, I think less is more sometimes. Simplicity is always good, easy to find sweet spot and instant tweaking on stage (otherwise need to stick a piece of paper on floor just for settings! ).

However...variety requires loads of knobs, so like you say, more is more tone is also true. Like your ex-fuzz factory.... 8)

Less is more but more is still more..

sorry.. couldn't help myself

Haha indeed.

my uncle gave me an ibanes metalscreamer he used to jam with back then around 1980s

its missing the 9v battery clip coz i yanked it out :lol:

 

[relinquish69]

woah mojo. 3 knobs should be easy to tweak . how does it compare to a tubescreamer or DS-7?

 

[guitarnub]

havent really had a chance to use it extensively, due to the missing 9v battery clip and i dont have an adaptor either

from what i recall, it kinda sounds like ts7 with more drive

An Arion SAD 1, Boss DD2 and Boss DM2.

heh, DD-2 is a digital delay though . I must say your DM-2 is really a great find. the prices of it these days are simply crazy. I'm just waiting for the day that someone would sell it for below $200sgd or find it myself at cash converters or something. you are one lucky guy yup.

is the output for the DM-2 in stereo? I know that Arion SAD 1 is .

 

[relinquish69]

opps, double post

 

[relinquish69]

alright guys, back with a little update.

I've just purchased a silver screw version of the MIJ DS-1 ( thanks to David ). here are some pictures to show the difference between the early MIT version and the MIJ version.

notice the MIJ one has a longer dash between the DS and 1.
the MIJ is in a darker shade of orange & the font size is less bold

early boss pedals have 3 screws with washers underneath them.
no idea why they left out the last screw lol.

early boss pedals have a white pushbutton instead of black.
notice the serial number is printed at the back.

soundwise, they are almost the same ( same chip after all). the difference is subtle even though the PCB inside is different. if I were to state a difference, I would say that the MIT version is slightly harsher.

if I have the chance, I would love to do an A/B between my MIT version and the current MIT version ( different chip and PCB ). I can honestly say that I've never used a silver label MIT DS-1 before.

more updates to come

Here is my oldest pedal that i own. A DOD Compressor/280 "Orange". My uncle bought it for me when i started playing the guitar back in 1986. Classic tones.....and i really dig the color!

 

[relinquish69]

looking nice 8). 2 knobs and no LED. should be pretty easy to tweak eh ? just curious on how you managed to abuse it until most of the paint came off :lol: .

 

[jbarks]

That 280 is a great compressor for guitar! I had the reissue one, but it didn't work out too well on bass, so I had to let it go :/

Very straight forward tweeking, usually set the comp at 3-4 O'clock and the level at 12 O'clock. Good boost for the soloing part. The paint eh? I played grunge once. Kurt's pedals share the same fate as mine i guess.... :lol:

Kurt's pedals share the same fate as mine i guess.... :lol:

hahaha! that reminds me of my DS-2. thats like the only pedal that I have in terrible condition. its as if the previous owner dumps his pedals into a bag after every gig. if theres a chance, I wouldnt mind buying one in a better condition.
