Axtron OCT-5 Octaver

Posted on 20/12/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Axtron OCT-5 Octaver. Made in japan, possibly in the late 80’s or early 90’s. The sucker for down octaves that i am, i just had to get this pastic thing. It wasn’t even that cheap, but these japanese plastic oldies do not come by that often. So i went for it. There…

Acid Age Electronics Pale Mare

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…

Schaller TR-68 Tremolo

Posted on 14/11/20147/04/2015 by mirosol

What is it? Schaller TR-68 Tremolo. Made in germany, possibly around 90’s. Not sure about the date, but this version is without an indicator LED which is present in the later models. I used to own one of these back in the days when millennium changed, but for a reason or another, i had to…

Tone Freak Effects Abunai

Posted on 25/10/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Tone Freak Effects Abunai. Made in USA,2008. More like a boutique brand, the Tone Freak Effects apparently gained some recognition in the latter half of the 00’s. However, the little respect from the diy community turned into a frown pretty quickly. For those who do not see it, i can point out…

DigiPlay CH-70 Chorus

Posted on 19/10/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Digiplay CH-70 Stereo Chorus. Made in japan in early 80’s. Saw this unit up for sale with a price tag of small pack of peanuts. What was i to do, but to get it. The switch was acting up, but simply cleaning it up with suitable chemicals did the trick. I didn’t…

ProTone Pedals Body Rot II

Posted on 25/09/201425/09/2014 by mirosol

What is it? ProTone Pedals Body Rot II Distortion. Made in USA around early 10’s. Once again, a pedal that the original owner put up for sale as defected unit, for peanuts. And once again, i had no choice but to grab it asap. I do not own too many small brand boxes, so i…

Hughes & Kettner Warp Factor

Posted on 16/09/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Hughes & Kettner Warp Factor from early 00’s. The unit here has seen a lot of use before landing in to my collection. There are good reasons for pros and cons and both are weighting more than with usual pedals we see. Since the positive notions are all mostly on the sound,…

Systech Phase Shifter

Posted on 10/09/20147/04/2015 by mirosol

What is it? Systech Phase Shifter. Made in USA in mid-70’s. Pot date codes considered, the unit has most likely been built in 1974. I’ve got this unit more than a year ago and after initial testing it just sort of was forgotten to a spot on my museum shelf (for the units manufactured before…

Washburn LSEBOD Blues Overdrive

Posted on 20/02/20145/04/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Washburn LSEBOD Blues Overdrive. Made in china around 2010. Should it ever even been made? Not so sure. So. It is 1:1 with Artec Blues Overdrive. Artec is a korean brand that’s been around for some time. It has produced couple of interesting, or at least promising designs. I’ve had some contact…

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.
