Sad to see this amazing tone machine go but times change and my MCC subs are needed to be paid this month.

£300 shipped.

Perfect order.

Great great pedal, and Ive played this one... the pre-amp is completely mesmerising

These are good, I bought one way back in the 70’s when they first came out....only reservations are the input specs which are a little quirky by today’s standards...other than that this is pedal that started it all after the JC120 combo showed it’s face....copied but never bettered.....

Price drop- one and only to £300

Is it stock or has the pot been changed to a 500k?

Stock I believe.

DaveB666

Hmm seriously considering this - whereabouts are you based?

Nice pedals, I've owned a few of these and they are pretty decent. Odd input, but once you get it set right they sound great.

DaveB666

Apparently it was designed for keyboards so the input impedance on stock models isnt good for guitars (a 50K pot) - the thing to do is change that for a 500K pot and it behaves much better.

Played one of these and recorded a solo with one. They are just delicious. I think JF from chili’s used one a lot too. Tasty!

I have to politely disagree with @DaveB666 regarding the input not being good for guitars .... As Stonevibe says, the sweet spot is just right. This particular one used to be mine and is an excellent example

Trade for a DigiTech bad monkey and some cash my way? About 50 quid sounds fair

I agree with @Lento here... mine was stock, and it the stock sound that works with the amazing pre amp in it.

Id never played one till I played this actual one. Loved it, and finally found one and bought it. I paid a lot more than this though !!

DaveB666

Not played a stock one myself but got the info from my mate Daniel Steinhardt of GigRig fame - he tends to know his shit but I will let you know once I get my hands on one and compare it to his.

I opened this thread all prepared to attempt to argue you down to 300 quid so I'm a bit flummoxed now.

Shouldn't that be *HONK* for Dan?

I played mine through a Musicman HD130-212-EVM combo....Strat and Les Paul and it always sounded great.....never messed with the circuit....it was fine.....some owners are only happy if they are tweaking!....
