NPD today... some pedals that where bought couple months ago but that where kept in a transition spot in case... there would be more to add... with other random purchases through out that.. funny thing is that all the packages came in today. Still missing one that i have to go grab at the post office a bit later.
So first!
EHX PitchFork that was purchased for me by Cody (selfdestroyer, Thanks Man!) in the goal of having it before it was available in Quebec... LOL, missed my shot on that part....
Thing is pretty fun, been summoning evil forces since i got it... Thou Shall Play in Minor! lml
But i think in some modes it work better with standard tuned guitars, not everything sounds right with my guitars tuned in Drop Bb... very fun little pedal. :)

Mark would have make it neater than that...

Next is two addition to my MIJ Serie9 collection (i can now call it like that, i think)
CS9 and FL9 from the early 80's, CS9 does'nt have it's label on the back but the guts are up to it.
CS9 really makes me think of the CE2 with Depth Mod, tried the CS9, CE2 and modded PorkBarrel side by side and it's pretty much the conclusion i came up with, CS9 have a bit more brilliance to it overall too.
FL9 sounds good too, not too metallic sounding... ...though it wont get as wild as my Ross with th Regen and Depth cranked.
Love them, great pedals, built right.

Last for now... EHX Mini QTron ... dunno where they saw the mini in that.. thing is huge..lol
Have'nt seen much of those, will have to make some search to know in wich time they where made, though... Scruffie must know! :D
It's what it is, a Qtron with less controls but that don't take to much on the efficiency of the envellope it self.

Once the bassballs is sorted.. this one might end in the SpamFilter devellopement.. instead of the DoctorQ... much more interesting overall.

Produced from 2002 (I think) and it's just a stripped down 9V Mu-Tron III effectively with an unobtainable vactrol.

Cool, thanks! We'll blame the vactrol on Beigel. :P

Guess who designed this and the other Q-Trons and EHX Bi-Filter :P
Oh I tell a lie they are obtainable... for an insane price! http://www.meinlshop.de/en/mesa-boogie/spare-parts/electronic-components/opto-coupler/optocoupler-ldr-dual-cell-p873-13-516512

The Tron himself!
Glad it got to you. I have been having a blast with it but it does get muddy with my C# tuned guitar. So I mainly play my SG standard tuning guitar through it.

that's a nice batch you got there! congrats!

:). That's giving me an SMD chub. No electro caps. Board-mounted everything. Get rid of that battery snap and it's down to 2 switch wires. SWING!!!
Nice haul of gear, Rej.
Those MIJ pcb's remind me of Davent :)
Pinnacle of the NPD!
EHX MicroSynthesizer RI that got from Jesse (lars), thanks a bunch mate, it was packaged to to go through any natural disaster :)

Really digging it, most impressive effect i've played since the Machette... for wicked sound that is. Very musical and inspiring to fiddle with... very happy! :D

With the drop tuned guitar, P4 mode/70% blend... it's guttural! But it still tracks well, going through the lead channel of my amp... it's a killer bass tone, now i need a second Ditto for pre and post looping and i'll be a one man band. ;D
If you are feeling brave, the microsynth can be modded to bass microsynth specifications.
Tracks much better for guitar & bass.
If you are interested, I can dig out my notes :)
This thread is giving me a really bad case of the GAS. :'( Especially all that EHX gear.

C6 = 2.2uF Tan
C7 = 1uF Tan
C8 = 0.1

Easy as that! What voltage rating for the Tants, at least 25V i guess?

25V or above should be fine.
