PSK DELAY DLY-2

I bought this second hand in 1990 and straight away you will see that it is a plastic copy of a Boss pedal. I love analog delay pedals and this one was a lot of fun. It was great especially when self-oscillating. I used it on vocals as well as guitar when recording onto my Fostex cassette recorder. Fast forward to mid 1993 I plugged in a power supply at too high a setting and smoke came out of the pedal. It never worked again sadly, as I must have fried the board. I was a bit pissed off to say the least and to finish it off I dropped a 56Lb weight on it and it was atomised! A tragic end to a lovely pedal!    

This baby was atomised back in '93!

A selection of old PSK pedals. Notice the Ibazez/Maxon style dials 

on some of them and the Boss style text especially the Chorus and Overdrive. Even though some are plastic the earlier units were die cast metal like Boss.

SUPER OVER DRIVE SOD-2

Another online score, this one is in mint condition. It's been so long since I've held one I've forgotten how cheap it feels. When I plugged it in the light stayed on and wouldn't switch off until I opened the unit up and gave it a shake and it works fine now. It's noisy with hum clearly audible when switched on. The sound is warm but the filter control is muddly until around 7 on the dial. It's clearly not a professional unit like a Boss or Ibanez but that won't stop you having bedroom blowouts from time to time!
