Thumbs up Chicago Iron Parachute wah

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm a big Geezer Butler fan, and in a fit of GAS I splurged out on one of these recently. I've had a lot of fun with it but now I'm almost bored of playing NIB over and over again so think I will put it up for sale!

This is a 100% faithful Tycobrahe licensed reproduction of the original Parapedal, as used by Geezer Butler and Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath, the same pedal used on on NIB. Play this into an overdrive pedal or even better a dirty tube amp and it nails it. Here's the product page:

I can't find much in the way of clips on bass, but this guitar video should give you a rough idea how it sounds (you can hear how deep it gets at 1:16):

These are $380 new (plus postage and customs charges if you live outside the US). I'm after £190 / $280 plus postage (PM me with your address for a quote, I will ship anywhere in the world). It's in mint condition complete with a rather cool box and all the paperwork:



Oh yeah, and this pedal uses a positive ground so you can't daisy chain it. Run from battery or a separate power supply (not supplied), or if you really want to power it on a daisy chain then you can use a Gigrig Virtual Battery or Diago Isolation adapter.


UPDATE: Since my supporting membership expired, I can't even reply to my own thread?! So I'll answer you up here instead! The flanger is a totally different pedal, this one is a wah, an officially licensed reproduction of the Parapedal, the same as the one played in NIB: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytwY-atTfpM

I think Geezer used both the Pedalflanger and Parapedal, but it sounds like the Parapedal at 1.31 in that vid.

Doesn't Geezer use the "Pedalflanger""?..... I noticed that the front of the "Parachute" has an in and out with a power jack. Where as the one Geezer uses has the 2 adj black knobs for effect adjustment. as well.

You can here it here at 1:31 of the vid. If yours is the same pedal i might be interested
