New Pedal Day With A Bit Of History!

So today i got back this Ibanez PT-9 phaser from the 80's, a really lush and smooth sounding phaser by the way. I bought that thing when i was in 3rd grade of high school for maybe 40$ in some sort of disaster store...not a pawnshop... but a weird place full of junk.

I had sold it to my bud maybe a year after, because i probably needed money to party! :lol:  But with the condition that if he ever sells it back, it's to me, because i liked it a lot.

That day as come, with time my bud completely stopped to play guitar and sold all is stuff.

Now she's back to me and i'm enjoying it a lot!  ;D

Glad to see you've reunited with an old friend. It appears, however, that someone has replaced all your film caps with candy...might want to fix that.

Haha, i agree that they do look like cold stirred candy in the pic.

I have one of these bad boys. Mine screams a high pitched wail of torture 90% of the time I plug her in. Probably needs new electro caps. The 10% of times it works, it sounds great. Congrats on regaining an old friend.

I'm no phaser expert, i just whore myself for them..haha

But the symptoms seems to be logic... a leaky electro or dried out could possibly be the problem... and that board is really not hard to work on from what i see.

For a single sided pcb, that's a really neat layout.

Nice clip.. if you played 1/2 time, it would sound really Tool(esk).

Still really like that guitar man.

Now that does sound great. Grats on the find - er, re-find.
