Posted on 28/10/201328/10/2013 by mirosol

What is it? Ibanez MF5 Modern Fusion distortion from Soundtank series. Housed in metal enclosure and made in Taiwan in 1989.

Danelectro DO1 Daddy-O Overdrive

Posted on 22/10/2013 by mirosol

What is it? Danelectro DO-1 Daddy-O overdrive, built in 1996. Got mine through ebay for a very reasonable price. Some natural road worn, sratches and paint chips. It’s good only either in this condition or as a mint. Quite happy with aesthetics. Inside, there are two boards screwed on the very sturdy design enclosure. I…

Posted on 17/10/201317/10/2013 by mirosol

What is it? DOD FX33 BuzzBox, made in USA around 1995. Now here’s something you won’t see everyday. When something is worth overdoing, let the DOD engineers show you the real way of the beast. Design is just sick. The America’s Pedal article on the history of the design is a very good read. There…

What is it? DOD FX66 (V) Flashback Fuzz. Made in china around 2000. DOD has only produced two fuzz pedals in all of its existence. That’s not much.

Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer (Reissue)

Posted on 10/10/201317/10/2013 by mirosol

What is it? Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer Reissue, made in japan. According to my guess on the serial, this is probably made in 2008. Got it used but in fair condition. This must be one of the pedals with most information written. Sad thing that the reissues aren’t getting as much attention. No one seems…

Posted on 10/10/2013 by mirosol

Third part of these articles takes a look on the madness that eats up every tone freak person. Madness? What are you talking about? Dealing with used gear, guitars, effect, amps, you name it, you’ll need to be in contact with the people who are more or less tone freaks. It is rare that you…

What is it? Pearl Model F-605 Electro Echo Analog Delay, made in japan around 1977-79. Saw this unit for sale and couldn’t help myself. Even if it meant that i was to eat dry bread for the rest of the month. Price wasn’t too bad, and i wouldn’t sell this for the price i got…

What is it? Danelectro DJ-9 Surf & Turf compressor from Mini series. Finally. One of these that make the original look bad. Like i”ve pointed out on numerous occasions, to refine or rediesign existing design, the result should always be better than the original. Not much poin if it isn’t. Here we have your standard…

Danelectro DJ6 Pepperoni Phaser

Posted on 1/10/2013 by mirosol

What is it? Danelectro DJ-6 Pepperoni Phaser from the Dano Mini series. Standard mini plasticky box. Bought it for cheap and now that i have it – i can say that no-one should pay good money for this. Mine came in as horribly misbiased, so i needes to tweak it quite a bit to get…

here used to be a short description of me. however, it wasn't exactly accurate anymore. so i'm replacing it with this placeholder for now. and yes. it's been a long time since my last post. but let me assure you. i'm very much still alive.

Found an error? One of my assumptions is dead wrong? Something else is just not right? Let me know! Leave a comment to a post, or drop a line to mirosol at kapsi dot fi.

I do mods, repairs and custom builds too. For inquiries, use the email address above.
