Ibanez SS20 Session Man II

Posted on 31/05/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Ibanez SS20 Session Man II Distortion/Delay multi-effect from Power series. Made in japan in mid 80’s. Ok. Apparently the first session man wasn’t a flop enough. Sharing parts of the design with the first Session Man “multi-effect”, this unit pairs a nasty, short delay to what appears to be the same distortion…

Colorless writings, part 11 – The Expert

Posted on 28/05/2014 by mirosol

What now? I felt like i needed to write this off my chest. As the title suggests i’m going to rant about these so called “experts” that think they know it all and how i think we all should use caution when we assume we have an “expert” on our hands. First of all. I’m…

Ibanez DDL10 Delay II

Posted on 26/05/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Ibanez DDL10 Delay II from Power series. Made in japan around mid 80’s. Power series has way too many delays. What makes this fact even more sad is that these are all interesting designs. And most of them differ from others, so it’s a painful series to collect. To begin with, Delay…

EHX Satisfaction Fuzz

Posted on 13/05/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Electro Harmonix Satisfaction Fuzz from Nano series. Made in USA in early 2014. Noticed this unit’s release on the web and it seemed quite promising. Seems like the idea behind the design was to recreate that well know fuzz sound from one well known Rolling Stones track. According to the stompbox historians,…

Posted on 12/05/201413/05/2014 by mirosol

What is it? DOD FX80-B Compressor Sustainer from XF-series. Made in USA in 1988. This pedal had been on my want list for quite some time. The biggest reason for simply not buying it was that these units sell for ridiculous prices here where i live. The one man (wikipedia link in finnish), who is…

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.
