Built a DarkGlass B3K clone a couple of years ago. It's back on my bench, it stopped working. Let's fix that and maybe also upgrade the masking tape design. Looks really #DIY though.

Also got two of these in for repairs. They belong to Marc from #PerimeterAudio. The left one, a modded Taiwan version, had a loose solder joint somewhere. Easy fix, also converted it to PSA standard. The left one is a fully original Japan version that I left untouched. It sounded sputtery but this is because he used it with a 9v adapter and without a daisy chain.

Bumped into another analog delay, this time from the Ibanez 10 series. Picked it up yesterday, works like a charm and self-oscillates like a eeerrm champ.

This is practically the same delay as a vintage AD-9 but then much cheaper. And I have a personal affection with the 10 series. If I come across an interesting one and it's not too expensive I'll buy it. Luckily I bought my MT10s and TS10 years ago before prices started to soar.

Order arrived yesterday. Replaced the rubber grommet, put on the knobs, replaced the footswitch and did an ACA to PSA conversion.

Linux and building guitar pedals, seems I'm not the only one. Unfortunately I'm not a kernel developer, if I were I would've certainly send Linus an email. From what I've heard and read Aion offers very nice kits.

Did some more research and the PCB numbers match with Taiwanese units made until 1994. So it's definitely a Made In Taiwan (MIT) pedal.

Checked the internals. Input and output jacks look OK. I guess it's the footswitch that is causing issues, it has completely fallen apart, hence all the tape. It has to be replaced. Other than that there's not much wrong with it. Sounds great, time to start a Nirvana tribute band.

And some more photos. The pedal works but has an issue with the input jack. And the footswitch is held in its place by tape.

Checked the serial number, 109115, and that's from September 1981. That can't be true, this is definitely a Taiwanese version, even the serial sticker says so. But the PCB version is from 1984. Oh I love these kinds of little mysteries hidden in such a small object.

#NewPedalDay #GuitarFX #EffectsPedals #StompBox #GuitarEffects

Opened it up and behold... A TA7136AP! But wait... The PCB says ET-28F, what revision is that? And what is the serial number actually?

This battered Boss DS-1 caught my attention. Asked the seller where it was made. Taiwan, so not the more sought after Japanese version. But the thing is, early Taiwanese versions were basically the same as their Japanese counterparts, up until 1994. Then Boss started using a dual opamp instead of the TA7136 IC which meant the design had to be changed.

So could this be an early Taiwanese version with the much desired Toshiba IC?

Here's the analog delay I came across on Marktplaats, the Dutch eBay branch. It's an Ibanez ADL from the Master series, the successor to the AD9. As far as I know it's practically the same as an AD9.

You gotta love those 300ms of bucket-brigade device delay time!

#NewPedalDay #GuitarFX #GuitarEffects #EffectsPedals #StompBox

The whole bottom plate rubber sticker thingy of the SD-1 is completely gone so you can't see where it was made.

More information on the different versions of this pedal can be found on the excellent stinkfoot.se site.
