The PH1 is a killer phaser.

Wow! Cool boards! I like how they could be on the side of the road as a "Historical Marker" for travelers to get a break and learn something. Because people on a road trip need to know about the history of dirt pedals, not just large balls of twine! haha I also agree that in this boutique age, it's ...

I consider the 6G kind of the holy grail of their boards and having tried to get them over the past 20 years I have found these are the hardest to find. While they hit the market more now, for about a decade there would be somewhere in the realm of 0 to 4 pop up on ebay per year. The pedal paint te...

I'm the same with Muffs. They are just not my primary thing. I have a 74 V2, 78 V4 and 84 V6. They cover pretty much the three main Muff tones. The V2 was the only one that I would plug in and use for the whole playing session, it's less scooped and smoother in the top end. But... that was in the 9...

That's why I cannot really bond with my PW-2. I rarely use it, because the Big Muff sound is something that has always left me unimpressed. A friend of mine has a model from 1974 and I had the chance to use it with my gear for some weeks. No love, I'm sorry. Oh, that could be the first DS-1 version...

That's interesting about the op amps of the MT2 changing. It certainly makes sense, as the 90s era MT2 was 100% unusable for me. Even the lowest gain setting on those was too much gain, too much compression. I too don't necessarily find much need for the Waza versions, as i have most of the origina...

Current MT-2 and MT-2W are such a different animal than MT-2 from the 90s and early 00s. The current ones have much lower gain op amps in them, so they don't compress into high-speed bee fight territory as easily. I seem to remember the change happening in phases around 2010-2011? There was a perio...

That's a great 'igical la' for the gig pedalboard! Let it get all the beer spilled on it, stepped on by stumbling patrons, etc...
The MIJ long chip DD is legendary. Such are great delay tone.
Good on ya for doing some maintenance keep it on the road!

SWITCHES I used to use "Carling" momentary switches but the price has gone through the roof. I've just purchased some of these: https://www.mouser.ca/ProductDetail/612-FS57SPMT2B2M1QEH They seem very well made, and have the advantage that they are SPDT, which means they can be used as NO (Normally ...

I'm darn near an old fart (53), however, my 39 year old wife thinks I yell at the sky like an old fart.
Garnets are cool, even for Yanks like me! I also like Yorkvilles!
Randy Bachman put them on the map for me.
