CHORUS- BEETRONICS PEDALS Seabee Lite ___NEW ___ best of...


$350.00 USD
B E E T R O N I C S
SEE BEE  LITE

A basic Chorus in so far as the Shoe Gaze 
and Star Wars bells and whistles AKA 
features are not part of it. I will leave the 
layout to the videos or I will have to write 
a manual, 😇
     CONCLUSION __
Even the Lite is pricy. one has to pay 
for all the artwork no mater what their 
pedal. Today You get Green or Pink.

OVERDRIVE- EMMA ELECTRONIC Onomatopoeia ...14 years old & still selling

$190.00 USD
 EMMA E L E C T R O N I C
OnoMATOpoeia 
This made in Denmark is an early take on a Tweed like 
Amp-in-a-box. The layout is Volume,Tone, Gain and
Saturation (which is compression via more gain)
     CONCLUSION __ 
It does a very good job of a Tweed thing.
Its dated double sized pedal is a drag. All 
their pedals need an enclosure update.
Priced $60 cheaper than most good 
handmade so if the size is cool 
with you then WTF. 


OVERDRIVE- MUIR AUDIO DESIGNS Silicon Steel Overdrive ...transformers do ???

 MUIR AUDIO DESIGN
SILICON STEEL
  overdrive ᓇ 
$265.00 USD
The electric guitar started life being amplified by tubes so the 
vocabulary like any instrument was developed by a their tone. 
In short a tuba does not play violin parts, it just wouldn't sound 
good, lol. The tubes themselves distorting the harmonics is the 
big factor but it is the transformers especially the huge heavy 
one on the output that is the icing on the cake.
It it is not a big jump to create that harmonic kick in the butt 
putting a small transformer in a pedal to add more harmonic 
boost. Rupert Neve put them in his famous boards for just this 
purpose. In fact one for every channel to vary the crunch.
Muir's first pedal was a transformer pre/EQ before he added the 
extra gain found in a pedal. 
The layout is Volume, Gain, Treble and Bass.
     CONCLUSION __
If it were not for the transformer this pedal would 
be near totally transparent. Love it or not??? 
It is damn effective.


thefineprint
Bogner had Rupert Neve design him the Lynhurst Compressor. 
Amazing but at $100 more than a Keeley it did not sell at all and 
was discontinued after just one year but was offered for3 years 
to get rid of the pedals. Too bad as it is totally 110% killer!!!

FUZZ- MMK ELECTRICS Fireweed Fuzz ___NEW ___ impressive 'Fuzzy-Drive'

$150.00 USD
MMK ELECTRICS
FIREWEED FUZZ 
 
A small builder from Alaska gives us an Electra Distortion circuit with an 
added FET circuit which gives us a 'Fuzzy Drive'. The Layout is Volume 
but has an internal switch for a darker mellower tone.  
      ___
      CONCLUSION ___ 
It has very good sound. It sounds like a good Fuzz 
stacked on equally good overdrive. Reasonably 
priced for a handmade. 

FUZZ- NO NAME Fuzz ___NEW ___ $13.00 USD & sounds good :-)

NO NAME
$13.00 USD
FUZZ 
Do not ask, LOL. Not the first nor the last. In the past unlabeled 
pedals were factory seconds but those were forever ago and were 
hand assembled. This would be machine made with tiny surface 
mount parts like a TV set or a radio etc.
The layout is Volume, Tone and Gain with a toggle that scoops 
the Mids. 
           CONCLUSION __ 
These come and go on both AliExpress and Temu. 
It is not a clone just a basic beginners circuit. My
guess it is an OpAmp using the LED pilot light as 
its clipping diode. It sounds quite good. A Fuzz is
all about maximum distortion so cheap parts
adding theirs can be an asset, LOL.

OVERDRIVES- YERASOV RS-10 & BC-10 Distortions ...impressive!!!

 Yerasov  AMPS
This company has been making amps and later pedals since 1953. The 2 pedals that caught my 
attention are the RS-10 full range gain & the  BC-10 high gain drives. Both have been around 
for 12 years. They do have new pedals but not surprising with wars and political unrest there 
are not any videos.


$120.00 USD ea.
YERASOV 
RS-10  & BC-10 
Distortions 
Both pedals are hardclippers.The RS layout is Volume, Gain, Low cut, Bass and Treble and 
a toggle for a Bright. The BC10 Volume, Gain, Bass, Mids and Treble. 
   CONCLUSION __  
Handmade with seriously good parts.  
Both pedals have punch, definition and 
clarity. The price is very good. All in 
all damn impressive.
