DESCRIPTION:
Clearing out some more equipment due to necessity. Prices are located directly next to the name of each item; and descriptions for each unit are located directly below the name of each pedal along with a corresponding photo. Feel free to message me with any inquiries.
• Pepers' Pedals Dirty Tree: $175 OBO + shipping
A dual-mode boost pedal that will absolutely slam the front input of your amplifier and remarkably tighten up any amp heads that suffer from having looser, flubby, tubby low end frequencies generated in the tone.
"TC" mode adds an adjustable tone-stack into the circuit and turns this pedal into a clone of the legendary TC Electronics Integrated Preamp.
"DT" mode removes the tone-stack from the circuit and replaces it with a preset value that turns this pedal a standard clone of the Fortin 33 pedal.
• Dunn Effects Death Knob: $100 OBO + shipping
A single-knob HM-2 EQ blend pedal so that you can dial-in just the right amount of buzzsaw/chainsaw goodness into your tone. Internal trim pots can be used to adjust the standard HM-2 EQ band settings.
• M Design Haus Deathshead: $200 OBO + shipping
This is a one-off pedal built back in 2011 by the briefly lived, one-man operation known as “M Design Haus” who was based out of Liverpool in the United Kingdom. Not much is known at all about M Design Haus or about his pedals, which leaves this particular fuzz pedal to be quite the collectible anomaly.
The pedal itself is a standard Fuzz Face circuit with a huge response in the lower frequencies as well as some octave overtones and modulated, synth-y overtones that get introduced when the pedal’s two settings are pushed, thus giving this pedal the capability to achieve a mean, nasty, evil character that is clearly inspired by the fuzz-processed sounds of Nine Inch Nails. Silicon transistors also contribute to the harsher sound of the pedal.
• Roland GP-100 Guitar Preamp/Processor: $200 OBO + shipping
Iconic digital guitar preamp from the 1990s that is becoming increasingly rare. Modern guitarists would probably recognize this unit thanks to Devin Townsend using a GP-100 extensively throughout his career from the 1990s up until recent years, with Townsend's latest indication that he was still using the unit being in 2020 when discussing his acoustic rig at the time.
Condition note: The "Number/Value" encoder has developed the noted "jitter" that is absolutely inevitable with the original encoders on these old units. This issue is ubiquitously present among all examples of the GP-100 that I've found over the years; and the issue has been very well-documented on gear forums. A knowledgeable technician can easily replace the encoder. However, if you don't have immediate access to a technician in your area, you can still use the unit as it is, but you have to turn the encoder slowly so that it doesn't skip values. - Aside from the "jitter" on the "Number/Value" encoder, the internal battery of the unit will have to be replaced at some point in the immediate future. I cannot exactly predict when; but the sooner the better since all technology from the 1990s needs a battery replacement by now.
• Korg TP-2 Tube Preamp & Optical Compressor: $300 OBO + shipping
Dual-tube preamp with a built-in optical compressor. Other features include: analog outputs (XLR and TRS), a digital output (SPDIF), selectable sample rate, Hi-Z inputs, phantom power, phase flip buttons, low-cut filter insert, and more.
The original Korg power supply to go with the unit will be included in the sale.
• Ampex 601 Tube Preamp: $1,000 OBO + shipping
This is the preamp section of an Ampex 601 portable, analog, reel-to-reel tape recorder from the 1950s that has been removed from its mother machine and converted for standalone usage.
The preamp has undergone a complete restoration process that included:
• a full rewiring (mainly bypassing and removing some of the old components)
• replacing the input transformer
• replacing all capacitors (CE Manufacturing sells a full recap kit specifically for the 601)
• replacing some of the tubes (a couple of the tubes are still the original ones from the factory, dated in the 1950s)
The "umbilicals" on the rear of the unit are still attached in case a future owner would ever want to get it "unconverted" and reinstalled back into an Ampex 601 tape recorder suitcase. (Removing the "umbilicals" absolutely nullifies any possibility of that.)
A custom-machined set of rack ears are included with the unit so that it can be mounted in a standard 19" rack.
Condition note: As expected given that it is 70 years-old, this preamp unit does have some cosmetic signs of its age. However, the unit is fully functional. Audio passes in and out with no issue; and the VU meter is responsive. (The meter might need to be calibrated at some point.)
LOCATION:
East Coast, USA.
I can work with interested buyers on all shipping concerns domestically or internationally.
