Hey guys, I have a Vox Superphase pedal which is in pristine condition, bought in the early 70's. Very warm organic phase sound with a single speed control knob.  I understand that these are pretty rare.  Does anyone have any info on this pedal or any thoughts as to value? 

This pic isn't of my one (mine doesn't have a mark on it) but its the same pedal so I'm using it purely for convenience.

UPDATE

Found this on the internet - still wondering re its rarity/value:

"VOX Super Phase 
This is a rare phaser pedal from the 70's . It's a "clone" of an Aria RE-90 Super Phaser / Arbiter Soundhouse Super Phaser / Hi-Max Phase Shifter. Actually it has RE-90 on the board inside"

    One of the identical (apart from graphics obviously) Aria RE-90s sold on Ebay last year for £41, so I can't imagine it's worth a huge amount more. Looks like it's probably a Phase 90 clone, which make it from 1974 at the earliest.

    Would go nicely with my 'new' 1974 AC30, if you're thinking of selling it!

    Ooh a 1974 AC30 - brings back memories - I used to have one (it was either 74 or 75, can't remember) - part exed my 50w Selmer Zodiac MkII 2x12 combo for it at Lou Macaris - and it was loud and very heavy (it had Alnico blues)! Would have been nice to have kept the Selmer though (very collectible now) but in those days I couldn't afford to have two amps.  Sold the AC30 to get a Marshall JCM800 head and 4x12 cab...damn, so much great gear has slipped through my fingers over the years - who knew then that these things were going to be collectibles!

    Thanks for your thoughts & offer re the Vox Super Phaser - I was just curious whether it was worth anything but I'll hang on to it for posterity....who knows, perhaps it will become collectible one day!

    Couple of years since I posted this, but I have now seen a couple of these sold.  One went for £125, the other $150 dollars;

    Looks like these do have a bit of vintage value.  Not sure whether to keep it or sell it ... I'll have a ponder after Xmas.
