DOD FX76 Punkifier

Posted on 24/11/2014 by mirosol

What is it? DOD FX76 Punkifier from FX series. Made in USA late 1995. I find the back catalog of DOD FX series to be very interesting. There are a lot of great designs and original ideas in there. And there are a number of boring and dull designs. FX76 Punkifier is not dull. At…

Posted on 22/11/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Acid Age Electronics Pale Mare Fuzz Device. Made in USA and judging by the serial number, the unit is most likely made in 2013. Seems like Acid Age electronics came to be after the brand Earthbound Audio seized to exist. And Acid Age Electronics seized to exist later and currently there is…

Bespeco Weeper

Posted on 20/11/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Bespeco Weeper Wah/Volume pedal. Made in italy, sometime in the 90’s. Nothing comes cheaper than this. Oh well. This may not be entirely correct thing to say. At one point i bought a Daphon Wah, just for its enclosure. I thought i could use that for some wah/distortion project, so i had…

Posted on 17/11/201417/11/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Nux AS3 Modern Amp Simulator. Made in china around mid to late 00’s I don’t know what it is. I really can’t point my finger to one particular thing on these and say; “this is why i like Nux Effects!”. But i do. Or least i did. I recall talking to people…

Yamaha CO-10MII Compressor

Posted on 15/11/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Yamaha CO-10MII. Made in japan, 1984. Date is determined from capacitor date codes. Continuing with another fine specimen from Yamaha’s 10MII series. This unit is one of those i’ve sourced from a local guitar building wizard, Mr. Lindén. I know i’m a sucker for this enclosure type, so every time one shows…

Colorless writings, part 17 – Words

Posted on 14/11/2014 by mirosol

What now? With a title “Words”, i’m referring to the difficulty of humanly express the tone and its qualities. You know, almost everyone is familiar with what anyone means when he/she is referring to that “mid-hump” usually associated with Tubescreamers and derivatives. But how does one describe the difference between yellow, red or blue clipper…

Ibanez MSL Metal Screamer

Posted on 10/11/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Ibanez MSL Metal Screamer from Master series. Made in japan around 1986. These seem to be rather rare these days. And with rarity, or scarcity, come a price tag that’s not for everyone. I happened to score this unit with some nicks and dents from Mr. Lindén in a batch deal for…

Ibanez TK999HT Tube King Distortion

Posted on 4/11/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Ibanez TK999HT Tube King Distortion. Made in china, late 00’s. Not sure if the TK999HT is currently in production anymore. Ibanez site doesn’t list it and many european internet shops don’t have it on their listings. At least not any more. This high gain distortion is somewhat impressive by its appearance. The…

/usr/bin/whoami

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.
