Searcy Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Grabbed this little mother at my local Guitar Center last night. Shweeeeet.
BobB Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Congrats, that's a great find. I love the sound of vintage Cry Baby and Vox wah-wah pedals. What did it set you back?
Searcy Posted November 5, 2011 Author Posted November 5, 2011 It was $70 and for that price I just had to see how it holds up next to a new one.
Morkolo Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Great find! It looks like someone else enjoyed it for a long time before it fell into your hands.
Riffster Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 That thing is dripping with mojo, (and i don't even use the word mojo much) congrats...and post clips if you can.
Dub-T-123 Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Lol Sepulveda California? I had no idea. I thought those were British made. How's the bypass signal? It definately doesn't seem to be wired for "true bypass". $70 seems like a really sweet price. The guts look pretty cool.
damian Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 I didn't know they had Duracell batteries back then !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :unsure: ....
Searcy Posted November 6, 2011 Author Posted November 6, 2011 It's 100% original (accept for the battery). It doesn't have true bypass. I wouldn't have bought it if it had been modified. Besides I'm not a fan of true bypass at all. I'll try to do a demo of it later this week. It's Shweeeeeeeeet.
Dub-T-123 Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 I was kidding about the true bypass. I find it hilarious when people ask "is it true bypass" like it's make or break. I wire my own pedals for true bypass though. I was just curious because it looks buffered. Just curious how the bypass sound is as I've heard those can be major "tone sucks". Something about really low input impedence or something?
Californiaman Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 That's the same pedal I have. Sepulveda Blvd., Los Angeles, CA. I like mine and it sounds great.
Dub-T-123 Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 Pico and Sepulveda. Pico and Sepulveda. Sepulveda is fun to say but horrible to drive on. They should call it "Potholeveda". At least last time I drove down it it was like the shittiest street I've ever seen. But I love that those were made in LA.
bonzoboy Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 You got a great deal,they usually go for much more on Ebay.I have a 66/67 Vox Clyde McCoy and a late 60s Cry Baby and I must say that the new pedals just can't hold a candle to them.Even the pot on yours looks original so you really did good.If you ever need a replacement pot built to original specs try here: http://www.northstaraudio.net/ and if you want to email the CEO try here tomlanik@earthlink.net I have ordered pots from them and found them to be the best thing.
