What's in your vintage arsenal?

[Chris Goodson]

I just recently bought a Ibanez CS-505 chorus and a PQ-401 Parametric Eq.  I wasn't really thinking "vintage mojo" or anything I just wanted a decent chorus and parametric eq.  They sound great  and inside they seem very nicely constructed.  
The parametric eq is great running in front of a Blue Magic, some of the sweetest tone I've gotten in a while.  It's so usefull I think we seriously need a design on the internet for something like it.  By the way, it's got 3 original :shock:  JRC4558's in it!!  :lol:

[Bluesgeetar]

Maestro FZ-1
Maestro FZ-1A
78 MXR Grey Flanger
60's Sekova Fuzz (Japanese Maestro Clone, all Chrome)
Italian Playa Baby wah with Red fasel
two old Crybabys with the 03 stack of dimes inductors
one old Crybaby with the dark brown ugly TDK inductor
77 Dynacomp
67 Echoplex
Old Vox treble/bass booster in the lipstick case chromed
80s Boss tremolo pan
1990 Sansamp original
80s Korg SDD3300
Boss CE-1

Stuff that ain't old but sounds old:
98 Sweetsound Ultra Vibe with foot controller
PE Yardbox modded to vintage with OC75 and 1n270 and Carbon Comp resistors
H&K Tube Rotosphere
98 Teese RMC3 wah with his Icar copy pots(you can't get these anymore from him.  He found a company back then that was willing to make him copies from a real Icar pot he sent them.  They stopped cause Teese said the company told him they are to hard to make.)  So I bought 3 extra back then before they were all gone.  

Newr stuff but cool:
Korg G-2 Acoustic processor (anybody want this?)
H&K Tubeman2
Boss RV-3
Boss LS-2
1st Issue Boss Metal Zone from Japan (I think mine is a 96 or something)

Cool old sounding Computer effects:
UAD-1 card with Plate-140, LA-2A, 1176LN, Pultec pro, and a bunch a stuff that came with the card.
T-Racks Mastering suite (I love this sucker!)

Lesser known effects:
Jimmy page wiring on my guitars
Brass saddles and Aluminum stopbar and brass bridge posts.
Black Beauty caps
Pure nickel strings only
Vintage Switchcraft jacks
Bone nuts
Wax paper caps on my fenders
CTS pots

What could be and will be one day:
I have a very nice supply of old OC transistors in the 44,75,74,71,76,81D range.  Have many old german AC128.  Have about 30 old Telefunken BC108B.  Old diodes.  And many many others.

I have a massive stock of old caps from early 50s to mid 70s.  Black Beauties old Spragues, Wax Papers, Bumble bees, etc.  I have mustards from the netherlands.  Those old yellow axial caps in FFs,  Many old ancient switchcraft jacks,  nice supply of hard to find silver mica caps, Example: .1uf and .01uf in 100V and their small. and on and on and on.

All those will eventually make it into a box to clone an old pedal.

I can go on and on and bore the hell out you with the crap I got that all in some some contribute to being an "effect".

Pickups?  WCR crossroads, Fralin, Fishaman rare earth blend and vintage.
In my Bass?  Duncan Antiquity II P-Bass and Duncan Antiquity II Jazz Bridge.  I have a P-J Bass.  Use to be an old 80s Fender Power Jazz but now it is just sweet.

My amp selection somewhat small though but what I got get's me all I need and want.
70 Fender Twin Reverb loaded with JBL D120F
Speaker isolation boxes with an old Fender 15" in one and Blue Utahs in another and a grey D120F JBL in another.
Supro Thunderbolt 64 model with the tube rectifier
Supro 1606 little cute job with an 8" speaker.  Sounds mean through the JBL box.

For my bass I use only one thing (Line 6 Bass Pod Pro)
It gives me what I want

Many other guitars.

can anyone say G.A.S.?

I can go on and on.

I got my Mutron Phaser 2 the other day.

Plugged it into the voltage converter (it came from the US and I had to get a 240/110v converter).

Plugged some leads in - switched it on...No sound - absolutely dead.  Tried stomping on the footswitch - still nothing.

On a hunch I swapped the leads over - sound!  For some reason the input/output sockets had been mislabelled at the factory!

This thing sounds amazing - it's certainly superior to my Late 70s Phase 100 (Block logo for those who wanna know).

Only vintage from the point of view of "first of its run", but I have an 2000 Fulltone Bassdrive. It is literally a Fulltone Fulldrive with a couple of caps and resisters changed. And a white label tape saying "Bass-drive" covering up the Fulldrive.

Oh, I also have an early Boss SD-1.

no vintage FX's but a few cool amps...

1972 50watt Marshall super lead
1975 100watt Marshall super bass
1974 6watt Fender Vibro Champ  ( thank's Aron )
1974 80watt Orange Graphic ( OR80 )
and mid eighties Marshall "studio-15" ( first run? serial number U00007 )
two angled 1976 Marshall 4x12 ( one checkered front one black )

1989 gibson lespaul ( needs more years before considered vintage..)
and a 1965 Gibson SG junior

...and running the two cabs side by side with the super bass is amazing...it doesnt get that laser-beam effect you get with only one cab..just fills the room without taking over....
