Posted on 23/05/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Danelectro DJ-16 Bacon ‘n’ Eggs Mini Amp/Distortion from Dano Mini series. Made in china around mid-00’s.

Ibanez FC10 Fat Cat Distortion

Posted on 18/04/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Ibanez FC10 Fat Cat Distortion from Power series. Made in japan between 86-89. The first Ibanez take to replicate the ProCo Rat was a success of its own. A buffered Rat with standard Ibanez electronic JFET switching. Sure there are numerous other Ibanez takes on the Rat later on, most with more…

Ibanez MT10 Mostortion

Posted on 13/04/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Ibanez MT10 Mostortion MOS-FET Distortion from Power series. Made in Japan, late 80’s. As the Ibanez Power series pedals come, there aren’t that many original designs that have risen into cult status and are priced as such on the used pedal market. The MT10 Mostortion is one of those, filling this void…

Posted on 29/03/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Yamaha MBD-20M Multiband Distortion. Made in japan around mid 80’s. Got this unit from a guitar guru J. Lindén some months ago. He was selling the unit for a very decent price and i almost did let it go. We were at some gig back then and he said to me that…

Posted on 23/03/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Danelectro DJ-2 T-Bone Distortion from Dano mini series in tiny plastic enclosure. Made in china around 2007 (dating based on a guess). As i got accustomed to praising the mini series boxes, i thought it was a nice deal to take this home from local music shop as a new unit. Price…

Ibanez MS10 Metal Charger

Posted on 12/03/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Ibanez MS10 Metal Charger from Power series. Made in japan between 1986-89. Apparently, these units were a big seller. Which is once again something that i find intriguing. How does a very average distortion design with obvious fault in it become a big seller? I really do not know the answer to…

Danelectro LM-1 Black Paisley Liquid Metal

Posted on 5/03/201428/03/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Danelectro LM-1 Black Paisley Liquid Metal distortion with optional down octave. Made in china around early to mid 00s. Danelectro is a fun and sometimes quite surprising brand that truly appeals to me. For some reason i’m sort of an sucker for those floral patterns, so the graphics on the pedal have…

Ibanez PL5 Power Lead

Posted on 28/02/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Ibanez PL5 Powerlead from Soundtank series in a plastic enclosure. Made in taiwan around 1993. I also have another one of these, build around 1996, in mint condition and in its original cardboard box. The whole series doesn’t disappoint much in terms of dirtbox quality. Most of them sound just right, but…

Ibanez SML Super Metal

Posted on 24/02/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Ibanez SML Super Metal from Master Series. Made in japan mid 80’s. I wasn’t planning to go after the Master series due to the rocket prices. Of course i have been interested in these too, but the status and rarity ridden cost of collecting these made the series not too pleasing. For…

Ibanez BN5 Black Noise

Posted on 3/02/2014 by mirosol

What is it? Ibanez BN5 Black Noise distortion from later Soundtank series in plastic enclosure. Made in taiwan in mid to late 90’s The marketing section of Ibanez pedals made this out to be a “industrial” distortion.

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.
