New Non-BOSS Pedals

[The_Doc]

Huge thanks to Pepe for giving me the opportunity to get a mint condition vintage MXR Six Band Graphic Equalizer. Pepe has done a fantastic job cleaning it up and it works like a dream. Please see the ‘New (broken) pedal day!’ thread for more info about the rescue of this one.

Here is a photo of it along with my other, older, MXR pedals. I’ve owned three of these from new. Not an LED in sight either - those were the days !

Over the years I’ve been assembling the rig that I used when I first went on stage in the late 1970’s. This equalizer was the final piece of that. I didn’t own one at the time but had one on long term loan that, eventually, I had to give back to the owner.

I’m so pleased to have finished that little quest and thanks again to Pepe to help me do it

Stunning collection!

Indeed, indeed! I'm glad that the eq found a good new home after spending decades in the box with the deteriorating foam.

Great collection of MXR!
The older MXR pedals are really cool with the colorful boxes, just like older BOSS pedals.
Now they both use mostly black boxes with a splash of accent color. Not nearly as cool.

I could not agree more ! I’ve always been a fan of the boxes

In late July I had the pleasure to meet fuzzbuzzfuzz in person. It was an awesome afternoon in Venlo (NL) and we have had lots of fun. He had a pedal for me that I bought through him a few weeks before that day: the yellow Ken Multi MOD-SS Overdrive. Now I am a happy owner of a full set of the rare see-through Skeleton Series. And I'm very grateful that fuzzbuzzfuzz snatched them all for me in Japan. A few months before I received a parcel with the blue MCH-SS Chorus. And my first pedal, the red MDT-SS Distortion, made it to me in 2019 (I did a demo video of it).

The pedals look great (also in the dark!) and they sound awesome, especially the Overdrive which has a very natural and smooth sound. Impressive! The whole series (originally by Aria) is very underrated. Don't be fooled by plastic enclosures, dear people!

Those are just superb ! I’ve never seen anything like that before.

Yes, the Ken Multi see-through pedals are super special!

Now here is the repaired and cleaned Ibanez CS9 Stereo Chorus that I received a few months ago. It does now finally sound as it should.
