WEM Watkins Copycat

A 70s solidstate model. It is really easy to use in that it only has 3 buttons and a 4 or five knobs to work with. This is as good for straight up echos (ie 50s rock and roll, Shads) as it is for creating crazy shoegaze textures, delayed/verbed walls of textural ambience. The oscillation works best when you select one head only and turn the ECHO TONE DEFEAT off, crank the reepats all the way up and listen to the tone... beautiful. It produces a rich, organic echo that seems to enhance the whole sound of the guitar. (Euro plug - 220V)

Price: €240 (= US$360)

CASIO DG-10 Digital Guitar

Great retro futuristic styling - straight out of a Buck Rogers episode from the early 80s, feels quite solid. You can adjust the tension of the strings using an allen key. It doesn't tune, as it has six nylon strings that dictate the sounds. It has 12 different sounds (Acoustic Guitar 1, Acoustic Guitar 2, Electric Guitar, Dist Electric Guitar, Shamsien, trumpet, and Church organ just to name a few), and it has a built in drum machine with 12 different beat patterens. Cool funky sounds especially the Clav and electric guitar 2, the sampled drums have that lo-fi 80s sound to them but they are quite solid and worth sampling. Sounds great thru some fx like wah, distortion and phaser. No MIDI output.

Electro Harmonix Electric Mistress DeLuxe

(Europe 220V power version). This unit is original from the 70's, and sounds terribly good and clearly defined: it reproduces an incredible range of modulations, from thin chorus to metallic robot sounds, from standard clean rhythm flanger (this is what I use it for the most) to the classic jet distortion. Don't listen to those who say it's noisy: if you want no noise at all, go get some digital and stay away from these analog babies, there will more left for us analog freaks. (Euro plug - 220V)

BOSS TURBO Overdrive OD-2

Adding a new dimension to the usual overdrive effects, the OD-2 Turbo Overdrive creates an ultra-hard distortion effect when the Turbo is switched on - a sound that's just like a turbo-powered car. But even with the Turbo switched on, the OD-2 will let every delicate picking and fingering nuance come through perfectly. Another feature is easily obtainable natural feedback with minimal howling accompanying the feed-back. Extremely sensitive discrete circuitry is employed in the OD-2's amplifier section, letting you produce impressive distortion effects while preserving all the original harmonic overtones. This latest and powerful Overdrive from Boss employs 2 different amplifier sections to give you regular overdrive as well as turbo overdrive. item works perfect !!

Price: €30 (= US$45)

YAMAHA REX50 digital multi-effect

This is a cool, old funky unit from the late '80s. I think it's pretty underrated, because it offers quite a lot of different effects - basically the little brother of the SPX90 - it's very flexible, dead easy to program, and small & compact. For those of you who remember the digital effects of the magic '80s, this is a machine that can reproduce them faithfully. Even the digital distortions typical of the era are well represented. The delay/echoes in particular are very good in this machine, and the reverbs - while not sparkly and full of detail - have plenty of character. This multi effect is good for any instrument, from keys, to guitar, bass, and vox. (Euro plug - 220V)

KORG MS-10

The MS-10 is a cool & classic analog synth known for its great bass and percussive sounds. It was released by Korg in 1978 as an entry-level, simple monophonic single-VCO analog synthesizer. With the authentic look of a mini-modular its single VCO is patchable using standard 1/4 inch patch cords to the VCF and VCA. It really is a powerful little mono-synth with plenty of knobs and a compact 32-note keyboard. It is CV/Gate controllable. A very cool feature is its external input to filter which allows you to filter external sound sources! Following the MS-10 came the double-oscillator version, the MS-20. The MS-10 is used by The Orb, SkyLab, the Chemical Brothers, Astral Projection, Autechre, Juan Atkins, Underworld, Sneaker Pimps, Luke Vibert, JunkieXL, and Add N to (X).
Including original manual and settingsbooklet (with penwritings of original owner). (Euro plug - 220V)

Elektro Harmonix Talking Pedal

Electro Harmonix Talking Pedal is a unique filter-effect with fuzz, in a foot pedal. It createseffects with vocal qualities when the pedal's foot treadle is moved up and down.
The build-in and adjustable fuzz is adjustable to your taste, in bringing out vowel sounds.
It should come as no surprise that EH made plenty of boxes in the "weirdo" category. They called the Talking Pedal a "speech synthesizer," but it's really a "yi-e-yi" pedal with the potent built-in fuzzbox.
For a better understanding: this pedal does not make really “talking sounds” but does vowel-filtering with the sounds you make. It works better with droning, fuzzy sounds. It neither doesn’t sound like a wah-pedal and should not be used like one. Move the pedal slowly up and down and create vowel-like sounds (sometimes like droning sitar-sounds).
The effect is in a very good condition, with only some very small scratches on the outside. This is a perfect, very valuable collectors-item. A really ultra-rare and unusual piece of gear!!

COLORSOUND SUPA WAH FUZZ SWELL

Tanthalas payed US$325 for a used one and reviewed at Harmony Central: I love this pedal! The fuzz is ultra-smooth and not too noisy, and the wah doesn't distort, has even sweep, and doesn't sound like everyone else's wah (Crybaby, Morely, Hendrix, Vox). Definitly a vintage sounding warm fuzz (Robin Trower, Ash, etc.), so if you want a Metallica fuzz, get the Jimi Hendrix Fuzz/Wah. Put some additional fuzz on the line and a bit of compression, and you have a smooth, dreamy fuzz that swells in waves and sounds totally even, with the wah adding some tang. Great tone and colorful wah-sounds. If this were an amp, it's be a Marshall SLT Plexi(the purple one)! My Supa Wah Fuzz Swell has even the original (worn) box!

Fender Jazzmaster 1972

Fender Jazzmaster 1972 sunburst (original vintage)
All parts are original, except for the pot knobs (the white ones are partly broken and replaced by black ones. White ones are included). I bought this guitar about 10 years ago from the former user who used (and abused) the guitar heavily during live performances: on many plces the laquer/paint is damaged (especially on the backside) and some parts are a bit rusty. The guitar is not a collector's item but a fantastic playable instrument. No case included.

Elektro Harmonix Big Muff (Ram's Head Big Muff - 2nd version)

Forget about all the new clinical sounding opamp reissues of all the original vintage fuzz-pedals. This is the real cool weird over-the-top sound of the real original 1970s Elektro Harmonix Big Muff!!
Version II. / "Ram's Head Big Muff"
The Big Muff Pi is a guitar distortion box. Its very versatile, from deep creamy fuzz to smooth high tones the Big Muff Pi is proven to recreate many different sounds and create new ones in this progressive music industry. The smooth sustaining character is the muff's flagship. Instead of fuzzing out a chord it surrounds each note with a violin-like sustaining sound.

Disclaimer:
This a an old, much used item. Many scratches and some small rusty spots on the outside.
The hole for the switch has been widened (an adapter has been mounted here, but was dismounted again).
In the bottomplate there are two (small) holes. The Big Muff was attached to an effectboard with two screws.
All these "damages" are however on the outside and don't affect the sound at all. Print and components are all original!! This is a rare musician's item and not a collectors-display item......

Colorsound Wah

Plug in between instrument and Amp, rock your foot up, and back: wack-wacka-wah. The Colorsound wah is noted for having a rather long "pedal throw", so it's a little better for zeroing in on particular frequencies, you can be fairly specific about what you want to accent. This Wha also has a bit more throaty tone quality than most, yet it's equally at home with rock, and funk. It is the classic 1970's wah sound. It is made for funk or funky type of rock. Think "Nutbush City Limits" by Ike and Tina Turner, or "Industrial Disease" by Dire Straits, or "Polk Salad Annie" by Tony Joe White or any Parliament/Funkadelic thang. Very different from the razor-sharp sound of a Crybaby.

Price: €160 (= US$320) SOLD

COLORSOUND RINGMODULATOR

This pedal is very very strange...the sound can be somewhat metallic or robotic. Basically, what it seems to do is take the input signal and a reference pitch that it generates itself, and then both add and subtract the waveforms to create interference patterns, generating new pitches that it packs around the dry signal. It's kind of like a multi-voiced pitch shifter/harmonizer...but the trick is, since it's using a reference pitch of it's own, everytime you play a new pitch, or shift the reference pitch by moving the pedal, the "harmonized" pitches it's generating will occur at different intervals in relation to the dry signal because the mathematical relationship between the reference pitch and the signal pitch has changed
(The Waxdolls payed £199 (= €300 = US$375) and give it an overall "10" at harmony-central). VERY, VERY RARE!!

Price: €250 (= US$375) SOLD

COLORSOUND TONEBENDER JUMBO I

This is an original 60s unit which uses germanium transistors not an op amp like the reissue. Has controls for volume, fuzz and tone which has a good range. Sounds range from big bassy fuzz and overdrive to brittle trebley fuzz. Gain range is not great. More gain than a Fuzz Face but less than a Big Muff. George Harrison used a Colorsound Tonebender Jumbo on Helter Skelter! Back plate is missing. Original pot knobs are missing and replaced by chickenhead pods. Electronic parts are all original and so is the sound! VERY, VERY RARE!!

COLORSOUND WAH-SWELL

Unfortunately this is the only broken item in my collection. I used it for a while to make the Shaft-sound of Wah-Wah Watson, but it suddenly stopped working. I am not a technician, so I don't know what the problem is. Maybe it's easy to repair, maybe not. At the right side there is a non-original power-adapter connector. All electronics interior are original.

DUNLOP Jimi Hendrix Wah

Very Hendrixian style, this pedal has a wider range than the others: more bass and more treble. Look at harmony Central for reviews.

Electro Harmonix DOCTOR Q Envelop Follower

This is a great pedal for subtle wah-like effects. Really good for funk rhythm guitar. Just seems to make your guitar sound that bit funkier. Not an over obvious filter (try the q-tron mini if you want silly soloing effects for similar price). Great sound but limited in that it does one thing and that one thing is quite subtle. However, i should add that i love this pedal cos you can add it to anything to funk it up.

Price: €100 (= US$150) SOLD

Electro Harmonix Echoflanger

AMAZING SOUNDS out of this box! This is the pedal used by kurt cobain for the song Radio Unit Shifter and so many others from the In utero album amd Nirvana discography. Basicly this pedal is very similar to the polychorus and the polyflanger. They are slightly different from each other.You can get too many sounds out of this unit, too many options. Its cool for all kinds of experimental music too. By using the filter matrix you can get some metallic-like sounds which are really cool. (Euro plug - 220V) VERY RARE!

Price: €200 (= US$300) SOLD

Electro Harmonix Small Stone Phaser I

This thing sounds incredible. Rich, beautiful harmonic colors are produced by this phaser. From slow phasing sounds that sound perfect when you play chords on a rhythm guitar, to funky swirls usable in clean or distorted riffage and fast, LFO-like swooshing sounds.

Electro Harmonix Y Triggered Filter

Super simple. Only two control knobs. There's a range one, which increases the intensity, and a pot that controls envelope up/down or down/up allowing you to mix the two. Instantly warms up your sound loads. VERY RARE!

Price: €100 (= US$150) SOLD

Ibanez Blubber Wah

This variation on the Crybaby has the red TDK Fasel-alike inductor. It has a very 'vocal' sound. Whilst the Morley Powerwah has a bit more grunt and was certainly reliable it did not have the same voicing and the treadle did not feel as friendly underfoot. Rare mellow wah!

Price: €48 (= US$72) SOLD

Ibanez Flanger FL-301

Full bodied, lush, warm, very analogue but a little noisy flanger.
There's a hole in the back, item is rather worn, but electronics are all original and the flanger sounds great!

Price: €60 (= US$90) SOLD

Ibanez Double Sound Fuzz-Wah

Two fuzz in one box! Unbelievably versatile. Can go from slight fuzz to hair razing fuzz with a few minor tweaks. The wah is very useful- has a nice jimi vibe to it.. This is the only wah pedal I have used that can actually be stacked with other fuzz pedals without noise and interference etc- the tones are unbelievable. Has a 'balance' lever which controls volume- NO NOISE! Basically all the effects can be turned on and off- so stacking each effect is made possible.

Price: €100 (= US$150) SOLD

Ibanez Overdrive II OD-855

Harmony Central: "A great, true overdrive. Not a distortion pedal. Probably the first great, real, true-blue overdrive. Is it like the TS-808? Well, where the 808 gives you that pronounced mid, this 855 is more of a flat EQ. It adds more of what you'd expect from your Blackface Deluxe Reverb as you approach 6 on your amp's volume knob. More of an overdrive throughout the whole spectrum, than a pronounced mid that has been tatooed on our brains from SRV. It can get a bit rippy, or tinny on the treble side, easily solved by backing the tone knob on the pedal back to 11am." Battery compartment closure is missing. Outside compartment has some user damages.

MAESTRO FUZZTAIN

The Maestro Fuzztain is an old pedal from the early 1970’s. It offers 2 types of fuzz, plus a sustain function. It’s a large pedal and is as tough as an ox. The controls consist of two large plastic wheels – one for “drive” and one for “volume”. There are three modes on offer here.
Sustain – boosting the drive in this mode provides a long, long sustain. The guitar sound is coloured in a way that can only be described as “glassy”. It’s a fairly subtle effect.
Soft – this is where the fuzz kicks in – and it ain’t subtle! This “soft” fuzz is blistering and would probably cover most applications.
Hard – absolute meltdown here folks. Ever hear the intro to “Revolution” by the Beatles really loud? This is what you get here. Recommended for those looking for a great in-your-face- fuzz sound. Some may be put off by the noise – but they just don’t make them like this any more. Maestro were one of the first companies to offer Fuzz as an effect and they have a great tradition. These pedals are getting harder to find due to their age, but if you come across one try it out. VERY RARE!!

Price: €200 (= US$300) SOLD

MORLEY Power Wah Boost

This effect makes combination of extreme fuzz with wah possible os it makes you sound like Santana in his early days. It looks like a tank and it's bulletproof. Super high quality electronics. Wah is more intense than a Crybaby or Vox even in the sweep range. Boost is actually a preamp so it really provides MAJOR flat response boost with minimal colorization. (40 dbl's!) This pedal is what was used by Aerosmith on "Get Your Wings" and really gets that nice wailing scream you hear in "Train Kept a Rollin'". Can't be duplicated with any other type of wah. The "Cadilac" of wah wah's. A must in every rocka's garage! (Euro plug - 220V)

Price: €200 (= US$300) SOLD

Mutron Flanger

ULTRA RARE Mutron Flanger. (At the USA webshop “For Musicians Only Gear Shop” the Mutron Flanger for sale for US$1995!!!) (Euro plug - 220V)

SOLD for €750 (= US$1125)

MXR Dynacomp

The dynacomp definatly has its own sound. It adds some warmth to your sound by pulling some of the highs out. With clean tones it's very aparent and you can get the highs back with a quick eq adjustment on your amp, but it definatly colors your sound. It adds snap and sustain while rolling off the lows set at low sensativity. Wonderful. Great funk Meters-like funk guitar! Some outside-box damages on the back.

Price: €100 (= US$150) SOLD

VOX TONEBENDER

Worn, old, used and even a liitje rusty but a great fuzz sound. Ranging from thin mosquito to razorsharp sound. This fuzz effect works better than the Maestro Fuzztone on single coil guitars, as the signal is stronger. The fuzz sound can be described as somewhat similar to a Fuzzrite, as far as pure fuzz raspyness goes. It is a little less abrasive and a little more bassy. I was impressed with how it handles soloing on all notes, low and high. If you are trying for a Yardbirds or fuzzed out garage/psych sound this is one way to go. It has a fuller, more dynamic sound than the Fuzzrite, but it's a toss-up as to which I prefer, as the Fuzzrite is a very unique cool sound as well.

Price: €160 (= US$240) SOLD

BOSS DM-300 Delay machine

Analogue delay & chorus, very easy to use. It is similar to other boss pedals just turn the knobs to dial the sound you want. It has input volume control, chorus intensity, chorus/echo selector, repeat rate, intensity, echo volume, and tone control. This is an analog delay/chorus. Has more repeat rate than other anlog delays. This has to be the best non-tape analog delay. It is really natural and warm. It is very reliable. Very solid construction as well. (Euro plug - 220V)

Price: €120 (= US$180) SOLD

BOSS DR-220A Dr.Rhythm

Its sounds are somewhat reminiscent of the Roland TR-707, and are the typical "produced" 80s kinds of sounds. The "A" is for "acoustic" - there's also a DR-220E, "Electric", with electronic, Simmons-like sounds. The on-board sequencer can handle 8 songs with 128 patterns each and, 32 preset drum patterns and 32 user patterns. Box and Manual included.

Price: €50 SOLD
