That Ibanez amp is really interesting. No built-in distortion. Very unusual!
I believe that particular model is designed for acoustic guitar. There was also the IBZ 10G for electric and 10B for bass.

Re: Sleeper circuits

I wish someone would clone the phaser that is in the Peavey VT/VTX series amps. It is an amazing sounding 4 or 6 stage circuit. The cool hook is it's 'pull stop' feature, which allows one to stop the modulation and manually shift the phase through it's sweep, like a filter control. Oh, that should ...

Re: Sleeper circuits

Very true. In addition to BOSS, I'm a Peavey freak, both with their instruments and amps (especially the 80s era basses and 70s-mid 80s amps). There has been a builder that replicated the super cool circuit that is the Century 120/200 in pedal form. I found out too late to get one. My Century 200 (w...

Re: SD-1 diode swapping.

I see your point. As much as I would like to have a SD1 with more bass and less mids, I probably wouldn't find myself happily & effectively using it--the SD1 is not really my drive tone. The strength of my early SD1 and 4558 equipped OD1 is as an 'edge of drive' boost with an amp that is already coo...

Re: NPD: CE-2B

Great score! I really like mine, too, those brown xx-xB pedals are superb! Good on BOSS to enter the bass pedal world as they did, as early as they did. I have the CE2B, BF2B, GE7B and LM2B. All were had for prices in the middle 2 digits, as was your pedal. They were still smoking deals when the col...

Re: Other Brand Pedals Photo Thread

WOW! This thread is great!
1. There are so many pedals here that I remember distinctly, but never owned (like those Korg Toneworks and the Yamahas).
2. Lots of pedals I remember having pass through my stash in the 80s and 90s.
3. The Doc could build a guest house using pedals as bricks! :D

Re: Waza Craft - here's a thought...

I think the GE-7W or PQ-4W makes a lot of sense. Quality EQs are a very practical pedal, and the modified GE7 is highly regarded.

Re: Nobels ODR-1 Natural Overdrive

THe Nobels is certainly a really cool drive pedal. The Spectrum knob is really smart!
If one comes around used for a cool deal (or most likely: the ODR Mini or a Wampler Belle), I may just have to jump. I played the Mini and a Belle a few months ago and was very impressed.

Re: New pedalboard

Very cool! I have a massive board I built in the mid 90s when I was a 25 year old that didn't mind moving large, heavy gear. It's 3/4" ply, approx 3'x4'. Loaded, it's about 75 pounds, but hundreds of sounds! I need to find something along the lines of what you have here, as it would fit everything n...

Re: Tap tempo switch for DD-7

Hmmmm.... tried a different cable (same electrical specs) and it started working. WTF? Oh well, at least it works now. Tried a couple of different cables... the tap tempo input is VERY sensitive to the cable specs. One cable gives rock solid tempo. Another is random, and the original cable doesn't ...
