Akai UniBass UB1 Bass Octave Overdrive pedal

Highlights:
  • used but all original and fully functional , this akai uni bass is a really cool pedal. Solid, well built and with a lots of cool sounds. Input gain and output level controls are key. For a cool ring mod kind of sound keep the input gain very low and play several tones at once. The “down a forth” function creates power chords which are cool for a synthlead type sound. The “up a fifth” is also cool. It creates this cool decay sound as the signal fades. Great for increasing the range of any instrument or generator.

Fulltone Fulldrive 2 MOSFET Overdrive Pedal

Highlights:
  • Great American hand made built pedal ,  very clean and perfectly working. Housed in a beautiful powder coated Blue 16ga. steel enclosure, the dual-channel Full-Drive 2 Mosfet gives you the best of both worlds. The first channel is the Overdrive Mode, capable of clean boost or non-compressed overdrive or choose light to medium softer overdrives all while retaining your guitar’s original tone. The Tone knob is a very effective presence control that can smooth out or add upper harmonics. The second channel is the “Boost Mode” with its own separate distortion control for medium to higher gains with a more singing violin-like sustain! One mini-toggle lets you choose between a “Vintage” FD2 sound with mid-heavy tones that cut through the mix and “FM (flat-mids)” for a more natural, transparent sound that works awesome with a Strat’s neck pickup. The other mini-toggle lets you choose between Mosfet and Normal clipping modes. Normal mode is even more asymmetrical, sweeter and more open, with no “blanket” over the sound. And, of course, the FD2-Mosfet features super-bright LEDs and Fulltone’s exclusive “no-thump/no-pop” True Bypass switches. We are the first to offer a switchable “Boost” Channel in an overdrive and the first only to manufacture our own Super-Duty 3PDT footswitch allowing True-Bypass plus LED

PETE CORNISH DB-1 BASS DRIVE PEDAL WITH BOX AND MANUAL – AS NEW

Highlights:

Rare and barely used BD-1 Bass Drive Battery Free Pedal made by Pete Cornish , with Original Box and manual. The BD-1™ is not a variant of any existing product but a completely new and original design. Initially designed for Bass Guitar, the BD-1™ has also proved very popular with Baritone Guitars and dropped tuned Guitars when heavy overdrive is required at the lower frequencies of these instruments. With Germanium components for added musicality this new design features full Bottom-End retention and is flat down to below the bottom B on five string basses. The tone controls are very powerful and feature an active boost and cut with a combined range of 34dB at maximum settings. Being active, the two tone bands can be both cut and boosted as desired with the zero or neutral point being 12 o’clock on each control knob. I have included a second linear boost stage after the tone circuit to compensate for any reduction in overall volume when the tones are in “cut” mode. The benefits of this active tone circuit, compared to the usual passive (Cut only) tone circuit is that the two bands are completely independent and there is no interaction between the Bass and Treble tone controls. An output Master Volume is included to allow for perfect matching between bypassed and overdriven and EQ’d signal level and there is plenty of signal headroom available to overdrive amp inputs if required. My well established Class A input buffer and radio frequency suppressor is, of course, included and the output buffer impedance is low to easily drive long cables or other loads without loss of signal or tone. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Overall boost with Gain = 100% and Volume = 100% is +55 dB {Reference: input = -52dBm(V) and output = +3dBm(V)} Overall boost with Gain = 0% and Volume = 100% is +19 dB {Reference: input = -16dBm(V) and output = +3dBm(V)} The above with Bass and Treble set to 50% (Neutral point). Bass Control range +16/-13dB @ 30Hz Treble Control range +12/-18dB @ 3KHz Maximum signal output with Volume 100% is +10dBm(V)/ 2.5vrms/6v Peak to Peak (at clip point) FEATURES: High Impedance RFI rejecting input and bypass buffer. Each unit is hand built, wired and tested by Pete, Lynda and Mingus Cornish. Housed in a Rugged Die-cast box with easy to set Number Knobs. Heavy Duty all-metal footswitch with Hi-Brite LED. Dimensions: 145 X 95 X 49 mm

Rare Mu-tron Green Octavider Pedal with original box

Highlights:

Very rare and sought after green (version 3) mu-tron octavider pedal with the original box in perfect condition. The OCTAVIDER creates a thick analog octave-down and a fuzzy ring modulated octave-up tone , in a pedalboard-friendly size and powered by industry-standard 9V DC. The OCTAVIDER pairs amazingly well with the Micro-Tron III and tracks steady on guitar, bass, keyboards and horns. Turn your instrument into a fat monophonic synthesizer. The Mu-Tron OCTAVIDER makes the full, harmonically rich option of “playing in octaves” available to all horn and stringed instrument players. This live effect is created by newly developed circuitry that analyzes the original signal and “pairs” it with the note one octave below, matching tone color and dynamics over an exceptionally wide range. The unique “stabilization” circuit (patent pending) enables the Mu-Tron OCTAVIDER to “lock into” the musical tone and sound a simultaneous sub-octave with accuracy that is not found in any other device. An important advance in electronic music technology, the OCTAVIDER has the same quality, ruggedness, and reliability that makes Mu-Tron the first choice of professional musicians. The RINGER Provides multiple effects of distortion, extra note generation, and a kind of “octave up” effect. RINGER effect is added to output, regardless of MIX. The more “pure” the instrument tone, the stronger the “octave up” effect. For the strongest “octave up”, turn MIX full down to eliminate the originally played register.STRINGED INSTRUMENTS: neck pick-up tone down, volume up full. (GUITAR, play from tenth fret up on all strings.) Two notes played simultaneously will beat with each other, producing “extra” notes. Try parallel fourths, fifths, or other simple chords. MIX full up.WIND INSTRUMENTS: play with clear “round” tone. The OCTAVIDER can be used successfully with many other devices, but the OCTAVIDER must be the first to receive the signal from the instrument. The OCTAVIDER followed by a Micro-Tron III or a Mu-Tron BI-PHASE are especially effective. Features: The ability to preserve dynamics and harmonic content of the original signal in the sub-octave. A stabilization circuit that “locks into” all single-voiced signals. A tone color control for sub-octave. A ringer circuit for harmonic emphasis of upper tones, and special multi-note effects. A novel mixing circuit with BASS ONLY switch for extended range and dramatic effects. Auxiliary impedance-compensated output. LED (light emitting diode) indicators to show operating status of effects. 89V DC powered in rugged Mu-Tron enclosure. Controls: Mix controls the mix between the direct signal and the effect signal Tone (Lo-Hi) controls the tone Ringer (On/Off) adds slight octave up and fuzz tone Stabilize (On/Off) provides note tracking stability Bass Only (On/Off) takes out the input signal Specifications: 1/4″ Input Jack 1/4″ Output Jack 9V DC Weight: 1 lbs Dimensions: 4.75″ x 2.5″ x 2.25″

Rare Wrought Iron Thruster N1 Handmade Germanium Fuzz – US boutique pedal

Highlights:
Super rare pedal complete with manual and original box. Less than 100 made and he is not making these anymore. From their website: The N-1 is a 4 Stage Germanium transistor Fuzz with a crazy oscillation switch. It feature NOS Soviet Transistors and ammeter with acid-etched graphics on a medium weathered Cold War Red powder coated enclosure. Each N-1 is almost completely hand-built. I start with laser cut aluminum plate, but from there, I do everything myself in the Wrought Iron shop. Metal prep, acid etching of graphics, powdercoating, bending the plates to shape, sanding the graphics, polishing, waxing, building & wiring the circuits, pedal assembly, and final testing and tweaking. These are truly hand-built pedals. Note: Due to the extreme hand built nature of the N-1 Germanium Carrier Rocket pedal and the fact that each enclosure is individually acid etched, your pedal will be unique. Some have a little more aggressive etch, some have a little less aggressive.
