Thrift store find - Weeping Demon

This is only the third pedal I've found in a thrift store in the last 10 years. USD$15

Needs a clean-up and likely some electronic repair (I haven't tried it yet).

Congrats. Never heard of that one.

I don't remember ever seeing any pedals at thrift store.
Was it at a Value Village or Salvation Army perhaps?

At that price it's a no-brainer. Cool find!

A little thrift store at a village up in the mountains.

With those push down recessed knobs it looks like the old TS7 silver tubescreamer. I have seen one of these but never heard one. I guess it’s a Wah type thing.

Yes, it is part of the "Tone Loc" series (the "7" series). As far as I recall it is simply a wah, but with "Q" and frequency controls, and made to look "cool".

From the 1990's I think. I couldn't find a serial decoder for Ibanez pedals, so I'll check component dates when I get it dismantled for maintenance.

Update: After dismantling and a good clean, it is good-as-new.

All done. Cleaned, electronics checked and the optics reset, mechanicals adjusted (pedal friction, spring tension, etc).

Works perfectly. If I didn't have a true-bypass modded crybaby on my board (thanks Admin!) I'd probably keep it.

Nice, I believe the low mode was meant for bass guitar.
I remember seeing a bass player using one early 2000's.
