MXR DISTORTION PLUS

2009-01-07T12:41:00.000-08:00

Very good condition
Comes with box (no manual)

This classic mustard yellow box has always had its own loud voice in the expansive distortion universe.The magic of the Distortion Plus is the abilty to schizophrenically pull off various personalites of overdrive, distortion, or fuzz depending on the rig you're running through. From the scooped metal madness of Randy Rhoads to the creamy streamlined crunch of Sugar, this box, uhhh, molds itself to the your own equipment and style. MXR spent some quality time and really voiced this one well. So much so that the absense of the typical tone knob isn't even missed. By twisting a combination of the gain and level knobs you can effortlessly nail the classic valvey chime of ACDC, the deep dark tone of Van Halen, or the relentless raspiness of Rage Against The Machine. This is the unsung heros of the stompbox world and it's ebb and flow popularity has stood the test of time.

MAXON ROD881 OVERDRIVE / DISTORTION

2008-12-30T07:14:00.000-08:00

Good condition
No box & manual
Made in Japan

A tricked-out version of the ROD880, the ROD881 Real Overdrive/Distortion offers even more tone shaping control than its older cousin. Powered by a hand-selected 12AY7EH preamp tube, the ROD881 takes all the great overdriven tube sounds of the ROD880 and turbo charges them by adding a switchable Distortion mode for searing, super-saturated guitar tones that rival the biggest of the big rigs in the amp world. In addition, the ROD881 features a Footswitchable Boost mode that effectively adds another channel to your amplifier.

The ROD881's switchable Distortion mode adds a secondary, cascaded gain stage into the signal path for even more extreme tube punishment than the ROD880. In addition to simply adding more Gain, the selectable OD/Distortion modes greatly increase the versatility of the ROD881, allowing it to function in a variety of roles from semi-clean booster to ultra-high gain preamp.
The ROD881's Footswitchable Boost function then allows the user to take full advantage of these sounds by creating an additional channel for quick changes between solos and rhythms. When combined with the various clean and drive settings on your amplifier, these two unique features create a multitude of easily accessible tone settings at the touch of your foot, effectively turning your amplifier into a two- or three-channel "uber" amp.

The tones of the ROD881 can be fine tuned using via its large, easy-to adjust control panel. Gain and Master Volume provide complete and precise command of the ROD881's output level and amount of Drive. Bass, Treble, and Mid Boost controls with extended operation ranges offer a limitless array of tonal options, from the classic "808" tone to extremely beefy low end chunk.
All of these sounds are then kept clean and noise-free via the rear mounted, switchable Noise Reduction circuitry with variable Threshold control and a 1:2 noise reduction ratio. Powered via a standard 9-volt DC adaptor that allows easy integration into your pedalboard or rack setup, the ROD881 offers the maximum amount of options for the distortion connoisseur.

VOODOO LAB SPARKLE DRIVE

2008-12-22T03:19:00.000-08:00

Good condition (7/10)

Comes with bubble wrap & manual

Velcro at the bottom

Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive is an overdrive pedal featuring a unique “clean” control. Its overdrive circuit provides the same tone as a vintage ‘808. Then the clean control blends back in a boosted direct signal. This restores the attack and feel which is lost in a highly compressed overdrive circuit.

The Sparkle Drive utilizes the same concept as layering two amps, one clean and the other saturated. Of course with the clean control turned down, you get a classic overdrive tone. All the way up, it provides a super transparent, 100% clean boost.

And just like every Voodoo Lab pedal effect, the Sparkle Drive features true bypass switching, a heavy duty metal switch and on/off status LED.

It’s hand built from the finest components available and is backed by a 5-year warranty.

Features
Multiple, layered amp sounds - one clean, one overdriven
Overdrive circuit delivers vintage 808 sounds
100% clean boost circuit with tons of output
True bypass switching with LED
Hand built in the U.S.A.

SUBDECAY NOISE BOX

Very good condition
5 knobs version
Comes with box & manual

3PDT switches for true bypass switching
Blue LED indicator
Chaos, Frequency, Level, Voice & Sense controls

The Noise Box is somewhere in between a chaotic octave generator, guitar synth, and a broken robot stuck in an angry bee hive. The Noise Box is an envelope sensitive harmonic frequency generator. Frequencies generated are harmonically related to the input, and controlled by the Frequency knob, the Sense knob, and the chaos knob. The Frequency knob sets the resting point of the frequency generator. The Sense knob controls how much the input signal will affect the the range of the frequency generator. The Chaos knob controls the attack. Once turned half way up the Chaos knob loses it's ability to track correctly, and the tones created by the frequency generator become more and more random.

The Voice control alternates between two different voicings of the frequency generator, with varied levels of filtering. Level controls overall volume of the effect. The Noise Box also has an internal noise gate built in that turns the frequency generator off when you are not playing.

ROLAND RE-201 SPACE ECHO

2008-01-22T10:28:00.000-08:00

Recently serviced & in good condition

The Roland RE-201, commonly known as the Space Echo, is an audio analog delay effects unit.

A tape echo device records incoming audio to a loop of magnetic tape, then replays the audio over a series of several playback heads before it is erased again by new incoming audio. The tape used in the RE-201 is the standard 1/4" tape of the open-reel variety, but made as one, continuous loop. In the Roland 'RE' range there are no reels of any kind, the tape is transported via a capstan drive. The tape loop is contained in a loose, constantly moving jumble in the tape chamber (also known as the tape tank) under a plastic panel which protects the tape and keeps it from getting tangled.

There are several control dials on the device that alter such aspects as tape speed, repeat pattern (an 11-position rotary switch), one instrument and two microphone inputs, a single analog backlit VU meter for all three inputs, wet/dry mix for both echo and reverb, and intensity (number of repeats; in a sense, it actually reduces how much the erase/record head erases the tape), that can be adjusted to a user's liking; and bass/treble controls to EQ the sound, as well as dry and effected "Echo" output jacks with a switch for output setting (-10, -20, -35db levels.)

Used as a delay / echo, the Roland RE-201 is said to produce an unpredictable delay that is warm and gritty sounding. It is also capable of producing a large variety of its own sound effects, even without an input signal (by turning the intensity control to maximum and allowing the unit to self-regenerate, or self-oscillate, while manipulating the tape speed and other controls).

The Roland RE-201 was used by musicians like David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) and Randy Rhoads (Ozzy Osbourne).

Despite its age, the Roland RE-201 is widely sought after, and still used by many bands to this day, notably in the experimental work of Radiohead, and the rockabilly stylings of Brian Setzer, the latter using one recently to get the slapback sound sought after for rockabilly and such styles of music.

Satisfactory condition

Not in production any longer & very much sought after
No box & manual
Made in England
Notable users include Kevin Shields, Johnny Greenwood & Thom Yorke

This sadly discontinued stomper is truly one of the greats and deserves a re-issue! Despite being be out of production for a number of years, this unit has always enjoyed a rabid and enthusiastic following. Typical gain and output knobs handle distortion amounts while a treble, bass, and a contour knob take care of tonal duties. The Shredmaster was alway billed as a Marshall in a box, and while this is true at some settings, the scope and range of this pedal goes far beyond than that. Mellow settings recall the glory days of Bluesbreaker-era Clapton while extreme setting pull off Radiohead-like crunch. Split the difference and you'll hear shades of everything from singing sustain of Gary Moore to the valvey bite of My Bloody Valentine. The housing is thick and sturdy and the knobs are nice and tacky. We seen a few sticky switches on a few of these old Marshalls but we always brought them back to life with a little contact cleaner.

Good condition

All parts are original

No box & manual included

Made in Japan (black label - see pic below)

The NF-1 is a noise eliminator like the later NS-2. Adjust the Sens knob to the threshold level where you want the pedal to cut off and adjust the Decay knob to how fast you want the sound to disappear. It's not going to get much easier than that. The NF-1 should by normal conventions be called NG-1, but NG could be interpreted as No Good so NF-1 for Noise Filter was chosen instead.

The NF-1 Noise Gate cuts the annoying noise and hum that can be generated when pausing during a performance. The NF-1 is equipped with a sensitivity control for adjusting the gating threshold in accordance to the ratio of noise to signal. A Decay control is also included for setting the length of decay for each note before the gate cuts in, while a wide 100msec to 1.6 second decay time control range allows the NF-1to be used with virtually any musical instrument from guitars to keyboards. Ideal for eliminating the internal noise generated by musical instruments and other electrical or electronic equipments and the hum picked up by wires, the NF-1 can also be effectively used to shut out external noise from lighting fixtures, etc.

Controls: Sens, Decay
Connectors: Input, Output, AC Adaptor
Current Draw: 3.9 mA (DC 9V)
