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…

Ibanez AW7 Autowah

Posted on 1/12/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Ibanez AW7 Autowah from 7/Tonelok series. Made in china, 2005. Where Ibanez AW5 from soundtank series left me a little on the cold side by its sound and overall feel, the follower for the Tonelok series does things differently. To begin with, allĀ  the control slots on the enclosure are in use….

What is it? Danelectro DJ21 Black Coffee Metal Distortion from Mini series. Made in china around mid-00’s. Finishing up with the Dano mini series with the last unit. With this one i’ve finally covered each and every one of these plasticky things. Some were surprisingly good, some very decent to say at least and some…

DOD FX76 Punkifier

Posted on 24/11/2014 by mirosol

What is it? DOD FX76 Punkifier from FX series. Made in USA late 1995. I find the back catalog of DOD FX series to be very interesting. There are a lot of great designs and original ideas in there. And there are a number of boring and dull designs. FX76 Punkifier is not dull. At…

Nux AS3 Modern Amp Simulator

Posted on 17/11/201417/11/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Nux AS3 Modern Amp Simulator. Made in china around mid to late 00’s I don’t know what it is. I really can’t point my finger to one particular thing on these and say; “this is why i like Nux Effects!”. But i do. Or least i did. I recall talking to people…

Ibanez TK999HT Tube King Distortion

Posted on 4/11/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Ibanez TK999HT Tube King Distortion. Made in china, late 00’s. Not sure if the TK999HT is currently in production anymore. Ibanez site doesn’t list it and many european internet shops don’t have it on their listings. At least not any more. This high gain distortion is somewhat impressive by its appearance. The…

Ibanez DS7 Distortion

Posted on 16/10/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Ibanez DS7 Distortion from 7/Tonelok series. Made in taiwan, 1999. One of the Tonelok series early birds. Somehow i have a feeling the DS7 was discontinued earlier than the rest of the bunch. I think i see a point in this. Anyway. This one doesn’t have any other controls but drive, tone…

Danelectro CD-1 Distortion

Posted on 4/10/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Danelectro CD-1 Distortion from Cool Cat series. Made in china around 2009. The number of good sounding units in this series seems to be on the rise. Took me a while to get one and to tell the truth, this didn’t come too cheap either. But i wanted one, so i went…

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…

Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion

Posted on 19/09/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion from compact pedal series. Made in taiwan, february 2003. Probably the best known as Kurt Cobain’s distortion of choice. I had to get one out of pure interest. I sourced all the Nirvana CDs as used ones last spring. Since there are now expanded reissues out of each…

/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.
