ZVex Inventobox


May 22, 2010

Everyone knows that ZVex makes great pedals. I personally love the Super Hard On (SHO) clean boost, and the Fuzz Factory is another popular unit.. If you're into pedal building,pedal modifying or just interested in how pedals work, ZVex has put together the Inventobox. It's a pretty brilliant box that allows you to hack circuits within a enclosure. Normally, you would need to design circuits into a breadboard.. which makes it difficult to play. There were also talking about offering 'modules' that you can plug into the Inventobox.

This has been out for a bit, but availability has been somewhat limited. I was glad to see that they're finally making it to the eBay market place.

Here is a great video with Zachery talking about the Inventobox.

 I this seems interesting to you, please check out some ZVex Inventobox deals here.

Univox Super Fuzz


May 15, 2010

The Univox Super Fuzz was developed in the late 60s. The fuzz circuit was designed by a Japanese company called Shin-ei. You can see various references to cloned fuzzes that include this name of Shin-ei in the description of their particular fuzzes.

 I found this video on YouTube where a guy has a *Orange*  Univox super fuzz. The colors of the original super fuzzes were painted grey with a blue Univox sticker. In 1970 Univox shifted to a die-cast metal box with a rubber cover on the footswitch. The first die-cast boxes were grey or black with a green or black cover on the footswitch. In 1973 they made the orange pedal with green or blue cover on the footswitch. 1973 is the year they started to include trim pots.

It's interesting that this is the orange... must have been repainted?

Tone Bender Fuzzes


May 14, 2010

The Tone Bender fuzz is a widely collectible and cloned pedal, made famous by such names as the Stones and Jimmy Page to name a couple. It's a Germanium fuzz which I believe were Mullard transistors (not 100% sure about this). From the Mk1 to the Vox to the many replica, modified, cloned version of today, there are many to choose from.

You can view a selection of Tone Benders that is currently available on eBay, and you can see there are many to choose from.

Here is a video of a JMI Tone Bender in action:

DigiTech GNX4 MultiModeling Recording Guitar WorkStatn. Pedal Auction Description: GNX4 Multi-Modeling and Recording Station by DigiTechThis listing is for my gently used and well taken care of GNX4 processor. I bought it from Guitar Center about two years ago. It comes complete with the power supply, footswitch, an instrument cable, and a copy of the original owners manual. The manual is bound in a binder. I had this made after losing the original manual at some point. Also included is the 1.0 GB Memory card I bought to save recorded tracks. This thing does it all (processing, modeling, drum machine, recording, etc.). If you are not familiar with what it can do, I recommend getting on DigiTech's website and researching. I am getting rid of it because it really is overkill for the kind of music I play. I used it for the drum machine and recording capabilities frequently. The footswitch enables you to record on the fly with the touch of a button. It is in great condition. So, if this is what you are looking for, happy bidding, and rock on!!!

New site news and happenings


May 13, 2010

So I've just connected a blog to PedalNerd.com. Along with news, random posts and general happenings, I'll also be posting some interesting or *hot* pedal deals going on at eBay, so keep a third eye in this section.

Additionally, I'll be working on a few more enhancements to the site -- primarily, I'll be working on a entire new section devoted to popular pedal mods and do-it-yourself kits/clones, etc. If anyone has any suggestions for the site, please contact me! Love to hear your thoughts.

Also, please take a moment and follow PedalNerd on Twitter! I'll be creating a Facebook Fan Page soon, but for now, look me up on Twitter!






Pedal Auction: BOSS GX-700 GUITAR EFFECTS PROCESSOR


May 13, 2010
BOSS GX-700 GUITAR EFFECTS PROCESSOR Pedal Auction Description: I bought this unit back in the late 1980's when I still hoped to become an electric guitar player. Reality soon caught up with me (although I really did learn a lot) and I sold all my guitars eventually. Now I offer this souvenir from my past. It really does generate a lot of great sounds and effects. I played it through a Roland Jazz Chorus amplifier, always in my living room in the context of guitar practice. Actually, I never used it much, just as a curiosity in the course of my vain attempts to master my Fender guitar.This unit is, of course, quite obsolete technologically by the standards of today. But in view of its obvious quality, and the fact that it makes almost 200 different and exotic sound effects, you may want it for a starter unit or as a backup for your more modern equipment.You pay Shipping and Handling, together with a reasonable fee for the box I will be shipping it in (box within a box). I will send you an invoice with a total once the auction is over.
