Old ampeg pedals.



I came across this picture and I cant find anything on it. I only found one of the A series which is orange and says overdrive.
Is this worth anything? Sound any good?

They're made by Guyatone and were also sold as Rozz, Westbury and Tora (in France).

from a quick look it would appear the overdrive is a tubescreamer descendent.

I have some of these, under the Ampeg, Guyatone and Westbury names. They're quite good IMHO

I had an original Scrambler but lost it at a guitardist's house. They fetch about a $1000 a pop now.
