DOD FX12 Tuna

Posted on 10/04/2014 by mirosol

What is it? DOD FX12 Tuna. Guitar and bass tuner pedal. Made in USA around 1996-98. The enclosure is in line with the last US made series and the original box doesn’t have “made is USA” printed on it. There is no chinese made “V” version in existence. I’m thinking that the box was designed…

Posted on 1/04/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Ibanez DL5 Digital Delay from later Soundtank series. Made in taiwan in mid 90’s. More from the better side of the palsticky soundtank series. These units are well used by almost everyone. It’s rare to see of these in mint condition and mine isn’t exception. Some wear and nicks, but otherwise clean…

Colorless writings, part 9 – The Switcheroo

Posted on 31/03/2014 by mirosol

Back on the subject of bypass switching are we? Partially yes. But i think i’d like to say thing or two more about switches in general. Actually. I was sitting on my desk that i use as work bench and killing myself with a build. That’s when the title of today’s Colorless Writings came to…

Ibanez DDL Delay

What is it? Ibanez DDL Digital Delay from Master series, made in japan in mid 80’s. One of these units that usually are way too pricey for me. But if someone is really selling his/hers and is willing to give it away for good price, i’m once again there to snatch it. I even got…

What is it? Danelectro DSR-1 Spring King spring reverb. Made in china around 1998. Pedals using real spring tanks inside them seem to be quite rare. There are tons of different digital variations that try to emulate the original spring sound from many brands around. The biggest reason for the absence of springs inside any…

Nux OD-3 Overdrive

Posted on 17/03/20145/04/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Nux OD-3 Overdrive. Super cheap thing, made in china 2013. The next one of the Nux analog series box to arrive. As usual, i opened the box, tried it out and ripped it open to take a few (poor) photos. Short testing convinced me that this is nothing more than Yet Another…

/usr/bin/locate

/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.
