I swapped the six electrolytic capacitors, because I had a few issues with the filter resonance (loud squeals) and the "Singing" mode (volume and range) that always occured after about five minutes. Now the pedal behaves like it should. It sounds awesome, also with clavinet sounds and synth strings or choir. I still need to check it against the Traveler filter of my KORG 800DV synthesizer. So far I'm very, very impressed by this 45 year-old pedal.

got a Skreddy P-19 the other day

first pedal I've bought for a while

it was a consolation present to myself for missing out on a first edition Noel Cornet that I really wanted, but blinked and missed

nice clear and present muff style, but doesn't supplant the Arc Effects Green Russian as my favourite Muff

Today I received an Ibanez BC 9 Bi-Mode Chorus. I only tested it through my amp in mono. So far it's a very lively sounding chorus. I like it a lot more than the usual Ibanez 9-series chorus.

I don't know yet if it will be a keeper, since I have a few very nice chorus pedals. If someone is craving for a BC 9, just let me know.

Here are two pictures of the Bi-Mode Chorus. There has also been a Bi-Mode Chorus in the Ibanez 10-series. This one seems to be the rarer model. Our daughter loves the sparkling colour. :)

Pretty!

It's a shame those name-plates are so flimsy. I've owned a couple of this series pedal and there are always dings in the nameplate.

That looks great Pepe! I got a comparable Ibanez pedal last week: the PH10 Bi Mode Phaser, which is also great sounding. I compared it to my other phasers, an Ibanez PT-707 and Arion SPH-1, and it sounds so different from these that I just have to keep all three :D
I also got a Strymon Blue Sky, one of the most expensive pedals I ever bought. I needed a good sounding reverb that could serve as always on room reverb while also doing a lush shimmer sound when needed, and this does just that. And the biggest advantage: this is the last piece in my stereo live rig. I finally took the plunge of going stereo :mrgreen:
