Colorless writings, part 3 – The Madness

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…

Dunlop JH-F1 Fuzz Face

Posted on 6/10/201313/11/2023 by mirosol

What is it? Dunlop JH-1F Fuzz Face. BC108 Si transistors and branded as “Authentic Hendrix”. Manufactured around 09-11. The Fuzz Face is one of those that everyone should play at some point. Because if they haven’t, they’re really missing out on a lot. Fuzz is not a distrtion as in Overdrive/Distortion. Not at all. Usually…

Posted on 4/10/201318/09/2014 by mirosol

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…

Danelectro DJ9 Surf & Turf Compressor

Posted on 1/10/2013 by mirosol

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…

Danelectro DJ1 Pastrami Mini Overdrive

Posted on 1/10/2013 by mirosol

What is it? Danelectro DJ-1 Pastrami Mini Overdrive. First in Dano’s mini boxes. Got this from a friend. Thanks Mr. Järvi! Not bad at all. Like many in this series, the soldering leaves me wanting more quality, but otherwise there’s not that much bad to say about this. The schematic can be found on FSB….

MXR Distortion+

Posted on 21/09/2013 by mirosol

What is it? MXR Distrotion+, block logo and no LED. Dating back all the way to 1977. Got this unit as an addon to one special deal. The deal was so good that i thought that someone was trying to to setup a oldschool swindle and rip me off of my money. Turned out that…

Danelectro DJ10 Grilled Cheese Distortion

Posted on 21/09/2013 by mirosol

What is it? Danelectro DJ-10 Grilled Cheese distorion. Had no information on the design whatsoever when i got this unit. Should probably have done some reading before paying 20€ for it. As distortions go, there is one sub-genre that i find no joy in playing with. This one sinks to that genre. Fixed wah distorion….

Yamaha FL10M II Flanger

Posted on 19/09/201320/09/2013 by mirosol

What is it? Yamaha FL10M-II Flanger from the 10/Sound Device series, made in japan. Manufacture date unknown, but it seems like 80s build. Looks like a coin-op arcade machine now doesn’t it! The brand is quite a puzzle to me. Pianos, jet skis, motorcycles, guitars and network routers. Usually i wouldn’t trust a brand that…

Danelectro D4 Fab Echo

Posted on 19/09/2013 by mirosol

What is it? Danelectro D-4 Fab Echo. Cheapest thing made in china. Came in a trade for next to nothing. I usually have nothing againt using plastic enclosures. And as i stated on Fab Metal post, the build quality here is astonishingly bad. This particular unit doesn’t quite reach the horrifying things inside Fab Metal,…

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.
