Ibanez AW7 Autowah
What is it? Ibanez AW7 Autowah from 7/Tonelok series. Made in china, 2005. Where Ibanez AW5 from soundtank series left me a little on the cold side by its sound and overall feel, the follower for the Tonelok series does things differently.

Ibanez DS7 Distortion
What is it? Ibanez DS7 Distortion from 7/Tonelok series. Made in taiwan, 1999. One of the Tonelok series early birds.

But then again, it is a flanger too. Got mine for standard market price for used unit and almost pulled my hair off once i…
Ibanez LF7 Lo-Fi
What is it? Ibanez LF7 Lo Fi from Tonelok/7-series. Apparently made in the year 2000, as the enclosure has the date 1/2000 stamped on the inside. The board itself has a lot of components left out, so it seems that the same board may be utilized in other designs of the series too. I think…
