what effects does jaco Pastorius use?

[FullTime Tim]

Time for a bump...


Been listening to lots of live Jaco stuff where he uses the Acoustic amp fuzz.

Are there any fuzz pedals out there that can sound like that?

Not uber-boutique, made-to-order Acoustic pre-amp/fuzz clones but regular fuzz pedals.

Rafferty made a decent priced one for a while Rafferty Guitar Pedals
Reverb prices were a little over $200 usd. (search 360 on his FB page)

There's a few good schematics of the circuit (like here: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]) you could hit up a (semi) local builder to build it. Master Effects is in Calgary Master Effects Pedals - Custom Guitar and Bass Pedals and seems to love these projects

Thx for the links. I ordered a board from Charlie@moosapotamus.

Wow nice stuff, top notch workmanship. Do they sound as good as I hope they will?
That 370 is really clean too. Very very nice (are you the guy who posted a restore thread?)
Mine has a legitimate roadworn patina (some might say beat up)! If only it could talk it would have some tales to tell. I'll post a picture tomorrow when I can get at my computer?

Do you know where to get the white slider knobs (I have only found black so far)?

they use the exact same circuit and components as the amps and run at the same voltages so they sound exactly like the amps.

nope. it wasn't me.

i can't say that i do. they're tough to find these days.

Here my 370 and rig. I realize that I have only crappy pictures so I took a new one of the head this morning. Will have to do better with my rig...
