Danelectro DC-1 Cool Cat Chorus

Posted on 10/11/2013 by mirosol

What is it? Danelectro Cool Cat Chorus, later 9V version, made in china around 1999-2000. Earlier versions were fed with 18V supply and supposedly sound even better. My unit is the later one with standard 9V input, making it very common and easy to obtain chorus box.. Got it for a reasonable price a long…

Danelectro CC-1 Chorus

Posted on 9/11/2013 by mirosol

What is it? Danelectro CC-1 Chorus from Cool Cat series, made in china around 2004. Got this unit used for a very reasonable price. That reasonability ended once i openend the parcel. Bottom was velcroed and the type plate was long gone. Those do not contribute to the sound in any way, but i’m usually…

Nux CH-3 Chorus

Posted on 6/11/201328/03/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Nux CH-3 Chorus from Nux’s analog pedal series. Made in china, 2013. There is something appealing in these super cheap new chinese pedals. I have no idea whatsoever what is the amount manufactured, but these are mostly well made and fine sounding boxes. I’m fairly convinced that china will be new japan…

Ibanez BC5 Bass Chorus

Posted on 4/11/2013 by mirosol

What is it? Ibanez BC5 Bass Chorus from Soundtank series, made in japan in mid-to-late nineties. Serial number is in millions, so it’s safe to assume this is late 90’s unit. To me it seems like the bass effects are mainly distortions, autowahs and lots of choruses. Bassists are left out on many things as…

Ibanez CS5 Super Chorus

Posted on 1/11/2013 by mirosol

Let’s have a full month of posting only choruses as pedal pots. Why? Because i can. What is it? Ibanez CS5 Super Chorus. Soundtank series unit in plastic enclosure, made in taiwan in mid 90s. I may not be the biggest chorus user there is. I’m really not even sure how and where i would…

Ibanez MF5 Modern Fusion

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. Already had the plastic one, but saw this for sale with a reasonable price tag. The switch is in perfect working condition and i believe this hasn’t been opened up before, not even once….

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…

DOD FX33 BuzzBox

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…

DOD FX66 Flashback Fuzz

Posted on 14/10/201315/10/2013 by mirosol

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. Plus both fuzzes in DOD back catalog are not fuzzes in traditional manner. Neither of the designs are transistor based, nor rely on own unique design. Both…

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…

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.
