New Pedal Day
« on: October 31, 2009, 05:02:36 PM »
Well, it was a few days ago, but i'm just getting round to putting this on the interweb!

Got this on my first ever trip to London (and went to the ZZ Top gig) in the lovely Vintage and Rare guitars on Denmark St, who were nice enough to let me try this through a 65 ES-330.



Pictured above with my 339, Lionheart, Jimi wah pedal and Blackstar booster.

It's an Effectrode Vibra Chorus, very lovely pedal, despite the rather garish pink colour. I did try a normal Univibe in another shop on Denmark St (can't recall the name) but the guy in the shop was being such a douche i decided i'd rather go to V&R. It's also a lot better sounding than the Univibe IMO.

Very happy with it though! Been doing all sorts of (attempted) Gilmour impressions since i got it!

Interesting. I like your rig. I have been offered a 339 from a mate in the USA-seriously tempted.

LOL at the guy being a douche :lol: That was my experience the couple of times I was in denmark street too, though V&R and wunjo were cool.

haven't tried the pedal, but have heard good things. Isn't it tube-based?

V&R and Wunjo were very cool indeed, extremely friendly staff. I can't remember what the douche shop was called, but i remember it was filled mostly with guitars that i could see jack white playing.

It is indeed tube based, you can see them on the right hand side, 2 12AT7's and 1 12AX7.

thanks. i think it got a really good write up in guitar buyer a while back (or one of the more gear-orientated mags), or maybe it was just a similar pedal by the same company. :)

that shop with all the jack white esque guitars is the shop where music ground used to be,
wunjo & vandr are the best on the street.

Vintage & Rare has some excellent pedals but im not sure if all their guitars are worth the money. though i find a lot of stuff down there overpriced

The Effectrode pedal sounded really great in the proguitarshop demo  8)!Loved it !But they are expensive( most univibes are).And the 339 is on my wish-list since day one  :?...
