It's a great collector's item, but I'm sure modern guitar companies have replicated, if not surpassed the effects of this pedal.

It would look nice with your vintage Gibson Les Paul collection, but you wouldn't play it.

I saw this last night while surfing DiscoFreq's FX site. It has links to related eBay ads on the side, depending on what you're looking at.

And I figured the holy grail of pedals would be that one synthesizer that David Gilmour used on Dark Side of the Moon. You know, the one that has a stand.

Too bad it pops when one switches b/w the channels...and is loud as hell...and gets buried in the mix...and.........



Sorry. I'm just mad at this pedal. I wanted it to work for me so badly. It just didn't "do it" for me...it went the way of the eBayz.

It's 8 channels of programmable reverb...More than you'll ever need on a pedal board...IMO

I dont know if anyone has seen it in perspective with a human, but they appear to be the size of a small suitcase? More transformer robot than pedal.

reviews

This thing takes a while to get to know, but once you play with it a bit, it's kind of like alchemizing Craig's (EPFM's) Phaser with a basterdized version of itself. Definately worth the effort in acquiring. Nothing sounds like it excecpt maybe a phaser/ vocoder/talkbox combo (ie: NOTHING!). The quick disconnects to the circuit board are its greatest fault and should be hard wired as soon as possible, unless you are some kind of sadistic collector, in which case you don't need to be looking for this because it won't work!!!!!


This is not a phaser! Produces wah, wah, you, you, you, yoy, yoy, yoy, oyoy, oyoy, oyoy, i, i, i sounds. The bypass effect mode is louder than the bypass mode and distorts my preamp.
