New Non-BOSS Pedals

[fuzzbuzzfuzz]

I acquired another vintage German Schaller pedal. Just like the fabulous TV66/67 Tonverzerrer fuzz pedal (that I bought almost exactly one year earlier) this wah seems to be from the earliest production months. So for sure a perfect cousin for the other unit!



This Schaller Bow-Wow Yoy-Yoy wah pedal was offered as defective and I won the ebay auction at a reasonable price. Many years ago the seller had removed the mode toggle switch as well as the original attached output cable and also the 3-pin DIN jack that originally served as a microphone input. He replaced the output cable for a standard jack next to the input jack. This was amateurishly done and the seller admitted that he had no idea anymore what he did back in the days.

Hadn't I been able to repair this pedal yesterday, I had posted this in the New (broken) pedal day! thread. I am happy and relieved that I can present it here instead!

That’s truly wonderful piece of history and sound Pepe, and a marvellous job to bring it back to life! Great work. I’d love to hear a demo.

And after a long time here is an addition to my Hotone Skyline series collection. The Hotone GATE is a very effective noise gate and very easy to use and just as all the other Skyline units it does a fantastic job. The possibility to cut the highs and the lows on demand is certainly a good option for some people. It was pretty cheap and it came with the box and the manual card, so I bought it on the fly despite having no urgent need for it.

That’s a great size for what would usually be an always on utility device. Would sit nicely out of the way at the back of a crowded pedalboard. Nice score.
