The black major is seeing production of the Mutrons. Knowing that Hotwire cannot be trusted his men are on call through out the facility. The Mu3 chip will not fall into the wrong hands and will only be installed in the mutrons.
missing two of my Octave dividers to repair. Notice the incorrect knobs on the Octave Divider on the left. They do not make the "D" style POTs to my knowledge anymore. If they do, I need to aquire two. Digital delay also in for repair.
Just about every brand of guitar effect pedal has been through my hands in the 25 years I have been doing this. Vintage Guitar effect pedals. Classic EFFECTORS! MXR VOX EH Mu-tron Tycobrahe guild Foxx Jax Colorsound Dallas-Arbiter Roland Boss Ibanez Maestro Univox Mosrite Ludwig Mica
1960s-1970s vintage VOX wahs, Cry Baby, Tone Bender, Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face and other guitar effect pedals.
This is one of the most over looked keys to getting that early Brian May tone. This was later replaced by the Boss Chorus Ensemble.
The backpacks match the silver of the arms. I also read somewhere that these don't fit on regular stands, but they do just fine as you can see.

Here is a board we finished this week for my good friend John Z. This is one of the biggest boards we have done. The power supply and interface alone that Martin built took two days to make. Fifteen hours, sixty feet of cable and over sixty Switchcraft ends later-----Boardzilla was born. The sounds that this board gets are unlike anything I have heard. Also there are some of the most rare and expensive pedals out there on it.
The signal path is as follows: Custom interface (with built in buffer, power for three pedals, effects loop, Tube reverb loop, footswitch thru, tuner send)---Hi-watt wah--Ross compressor--Whammy--Boss slow gear--Maestro Filter factory--Mutron Octave divider--Octavia--Prescription Univibe---MXR Phase 90--mystery pedal--Univox Super Fuzz--DOD 250--ADA Flanger--MXR Chorus--Boss Vibrato--BFD Tremelo--Interface.
All the pedals except the Wah are in Loop Master strips. The effect loop send of the amp goes into the interface then to the Volume pedal then to the input of the Xotic X-blender out to a Echoplex EP-4. The vintage Fender Reverb Unit plugs into the REVERB send of the interface into the Xotic X-Blender send and return(blending the dry and the reverb out to the effects loop return. John is using a Diamond Phantom head into a 4x12 with G12H 30's.
If you would like to hear this board in action be sure to stop by the Baked Potato on Monday. John is sure to get some amazing tones and well as throwin down some incredible playing.
I have to rest now.
Here is a pretty involved system that was finished this week for Tim Mahoney of the band 311. The most involved piece was the custom rack interface that Martin designed. Inside the beautifully engineered rack piece is a five loop mixer, three Jensen ISO transformers, two power transformers (to power the Axess FX-1, expander, wah and tuner on the pedalboard and the Boomerang), internal buffer, midi controlled switching for sending to two amps, channel switch, loop for the Boomerang, midi, and wet volume loop.
The rack pieces are as follows: Two PCM 42's, PCM 60, TC 1210, Line 6 Filter Pro, Boss SE-70, two RJM RG-16, L.A.S.D. interface.
The pedal trays include in order of signal chain: Octaver, Mutron III, Ross Compressor, MXR Phase 45, MXR Phase 90, KR Megavibe, DOD 250, Hartman Flanger, EH Clone Theory, MXR Flanger, Ibanez AD-9, EH Memory Man.
On the floor is the king of all midi controllers-the Axess FX-1 with expander, Boss TU-2 and a vintage King Vox wah. Thanks to Mario for making such a great unit. The second board has a Boss FV-500 H, Boss FV-300L and a Boomerang. There is a dry mute and switchable outputs for the two amps. There is a wet volume and a pre volume.
A Diamond Phantom head feeds two dry cabs in the center. The HH V800 feeds two wet cabs on the left and two on the right. Six cabs total-all with Vintage 30's.
The system sounded incredible. It covers all the vintage tones as well as modern rack sounds. My favorite pedal was the Hartman Flanger. It is a dead copy of a Electric Mistress. This pedal gets everything from Andy Summers to David Gilmour to Alex Lifeson. Rich, liquid and spacey. Thanks to Theo for getting us the pedal so quickly.
A&S also made some great KK style racks with stealth black hardware per Tim's request. One 20 space and two double head rack with cooling fans built in the back were made.

One of the oddest effects ever created (not a bad thing). Has the same incredible phaser circuit (opto-coupler) as the Flying Pan and the Mutron Phasor II, but it has a really weird effect called the "Jet" which sounds like static, or a wwvvshsh sound. That is the only word I can think of to describe it. Like the Flying Pan, the phaser can be used alone or with the jet sound. The jet sound can not be used alone. Very cool effect. Again, very rare and difficult to find. These were also made for Ibanez, and those versions are the same in every way, but say Ibanez instead of Maxon.
April just left for work, so I'm heading out to do the clear Candy Red on those enclosures I did in Silver Vein this morning.
Overall, I'm still pretty happy with the blue ones from yesterday. Before I did the silver this morning I did one last coat of blue on the enclosures that seemed to be the most problematic and they came out pretty decent, too.
The one in the front is going to be a Colorsound Overdriver clone and the one in the back is going to be a Mu-Tron envelope follower. The Colorsound I'm building because I've never tried one before and the Mu-Tron is a replacement for my old pedal that got sold to help finance starting my company.

This is a clone of the old Mu-Tron Bi-Phase. It's two six-stage optical phasers that can be used independently or in unison. If you use them together, there are some special methods for combining them.
Essentially what you have here are two flashing LEDs, each surrounded by six photoresistors that translate the flashing light to phase differential. In the standard mode the Rate knobs control how fast each LED (left and right) flashes.
If you turn on the LFO Synch switch, both LEDs will flash at exactly the same rate. This essentially gives you a 12-stage phaser instead of two 6-stage phasers.
If you turn on the LFO Invert switch, the two LEDs will flash at the opposite time. When one is dark, the other is fully illuminated. This gives you two 6-stage phasers in diametric opposition to each other with a kind of unusual crossover point where both LEDs are momentarily at the same level of illumination.
It's a very interesting and fun circuit that yields some amazingly chewy phasing sounds.
Here is a huge rig we put together this week. This system was built for Tim Mahoney of the band 311. It was a pleasure to work for such a great player and a really nice guy. Tim has a passion and enthusiasm about tone and gear that made it fun to work with him.
His main board which feeds to Diamond Spec Op heads features:
Vintage King Vox Wah, Boss Octave, Mutron evelope filter, Megavibe, Vintage Phase 90, ADA Flanger, DOD Distortion, Fulltone Supa Trem, Maxon Analof Delay, EH Memory Man, Boss TU-2, Multipin custom interface with Jensen transformer isolated outs.
A custom control box was designed as a bypass for the two PCM42's, PCM 60, SE-70, Channel switch for one head, A/B or both on, loop for Maxon Echo and memory man, internal buffer all sent to the rack interface via a multi pin cable.
The second board has (2)FV-300L, Boomerang, Midi Mouse, Custom interface with power for Midi Mouse and boomerang sent from the rack interface.
The rack has: (2) PCM 42's, PCM 60, SE-70, Custom Interface.
2 custom snakes.
Tim is running the PCM42's in the effects loops of each amp using the volume pedals in line as a master volume for each amp.
It sounds amazing.

An old Electro-Harmonix pedal from the dawn of time that I've owned since shortly after the dawn of time. I'm pretty sure, going by the pots, that it's a '77.
When I lived in Rhode Island I bought a little solid-state Electro-Harmonix amp for like $25. It was called a Mike Matthews Dirt Road Special. Nothing much to it. It had a Celestion speaker and a little 25-watt solid-state amp. It also had a built-in Small Stone Phase Shifter. It was actually a really cool little amp and I used it as a practice amp for years. Fell in love with the Small Stone while I had it. It was basically a little sealed speaker box with a few circuit boards and a transformer inside. I don't even recall when or why I sold it. I mean, it was a very basic amp. Just a tone control and a presence control. No overdrive of any kind. But with the Small Stone running on a slow rate it was a very trippy-sounding clean amp. And the Celestion sounded good.
Anyway, long before I got rid of the Dirt Road Special I'd bought this. I'm not sure why nothing seems to sound like it, but I've always really liked the specific sound of the Small Stone. Probably because I got the Dirt Road Special in my early 20's and I got used to the sound of a phaser being the sound of the Small Stone. Or it could be because the Small Stone uses Operational Transconductance Amplifiers instead of regular op-amps like almost all the other phasers out there.
Whatever it is, I've owned a whole bunch of phasers over the years. TC Electronics, Mutron (the Mutron was called a 'Phasor' instead of a 'Phaser'), Boss, Korg...and for some reason this is the one I like most.

The crown of my Mu-Tron collection. This thing is so cool, and just goes to show how Mu-Tron was consistantly ahead of the game. Very sad that that darn Gizmotron came along.
