Title: NVRD!!
Post by: peAk on August 11, 2017, 10:32:46 PM
New Vintage Rack Day "Ibanez UE405"

I picked this up today off a guy on Craigslist for pretty much nothing. Thing is in almost perfect shape, footswitch and all. Original owner who's had it since the 80s.

I won't go as far to say that I was looking for one of these but I cant pass up a good deal when I see it.

Nice! Those are supposed to have some very good circuits. One of those was just up on my localcraigslist. It was on the pricier side unfortunately.

But now you have to get the other version too if you want a phaser and distortion. :)

I bought one a few months back. Near mint. It isn't getting much use. It didn't blow me away. I thought at worst it can be a great organ donor and empty case. But it is certainly worth more than that.

Although the days of treasures found at pawn shops or even Ebay are pretty much gone, Craigslist still produces sometimes.

I have the UE400 and I love it! The 405 is the one to get though because of the delay. Nice score! I have the pinouts somewhere for the footswitch so you could build your own and save the valuable floorboard. I've tested it with jumpers at the connector on the back and it's easy peasy. That connector is the real nightmare to find. I found some somewhere once but they're gone now. I think it's an old video connector. Let me know if you're interested.

I have never seen one in That great condition.  Very jealous.
That would have asking price of $600 on my worthless local Craigslist.  In 10 years, I have never found any musical item for a reasonable price within 3 hours on C-list.
