It is a hollowbody, needs a new nut and truss rod cover. No idea what brand. 60's or 70's. Don't know what brand.

Where did he find it? How much?

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 08.14.2007 01:05 AM

His friend's antique shop, 120

Danny I'll say 225 shipped to the UK.

CHOUT 08.15.2007 09:41 PM

Got one of these the other day:

Cool, I've been sort of wanting a Q-tron + (for the effect loop) and a Tube Zipper, but I sort of figured that my Polyphase in envelope mode covers a lot of the same ground.

I think I'm gonna get the BYOC flange when it comes out. I think it is down to that, a flanger hoax, or an MXR, although I'll have to try out a stereo electric mistress (despite it being digital it might still be cool). Flanger hoax is intruiging because of the thru zero flange mode.

I'll tell ya, when I got a Q Tron + I was pretty disappointed with it. Sure it had a lot of features, but it didn't have a deep long rubbery sweep, like the DOD does. You'd think EH woulda made it so it could go crazy with the sweep but they didn't. The DOD is better for the basic envelope sounds, seriously. And they're way cheaper.

I've been using the Poly Phase envelope setting mainly, but lately I've been using the expression mode...

If the BYOC Flangers were available right now, I'd probably already have one...I'm waiting patiently.

What did you try in the Q-tron + loop? And maybe the new one is better.

I tried nearly everything through it...the thing that bugged me is when you bypass the Q Tron +, it bypasses whatever is in the loop too, so if you have distortion in the loop, it's off when the pedal goes off. I guess that kinda makes sense, but it would be nice to have a switch or something do decide wether or not you wanna bypass what's in the loop too.

I have the feeling the new one isn't going to be any different than the OG ones.

Oh yeah, I kept the wooden box for it when I sold it. :)

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 08.16.2007 01:44 AM

Nice goin, I wish I had the wooden box that my frequency analyzer probably came in, but I got it 2nd hand.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 08.16.2007 02:52 PM

Yeah it is pretty bitchin

king_buzzo 08.16.2007 02:58 PM

Anyways, I've decided. When I get back I need to get a Superfuzz clone and a NanoVerb, after that if I have the 30 bucks, I'll tell you, but anyways I'll get it later on if i dont have the 30 $$$

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 08.16.2007 03:09 PM

OK, I'll tell people that the French Toast is on hold. I'd rather sell it to you than anyone else.

nicfit 08.16.2007 03:11 PM

what's the name of the home made thing again, SJIND?

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 08.16.2007 03:24 PM

The Hari Kari Krishna

CHOUT 08.16.2007 11:24 PM

I might've found a Deluxe Memory Man used for $129 I can't pass up if it's still available.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 08.16.2007 11:42 PM

Sweet man.

haha, thanks, i just gotta know how old it is and if you had any problems with it and stuff...

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 08.17.2007 10:56 AM

I don't have any problems, and I don't know exactly how old it is, I traded my danelectro tuna melt for it. It doesn't seem too old.
