Ou7shined Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) I've got a bunch of great gear coming up for sale on here soon but I feel these [b]oldies[/b] need a separate thread to themselves. First up my [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Effects/product/Carlsbro/Echo/10/1"]Carlsbro Echo analog delay[/url] Very old and super rare analog delay in full working order. I have had this for the last 25 years and it is in pretty much the same cosmetic condition now that I got it in.... scruffy (some might say relic'd ). Functionally it's whole a different kettle of Phish. This thing is built like a tank (total weight 650g) and I have recently given this tank an overhaul. While combating a dry joint problem I went overboard and completely re-soldered every single joint and track on the ancient circuit board and thoroughly degunked and switch cleaned the footswitch and all the pots. It now performs 100%. Controls = Delay - Swell - Mix I/O = In - Mix - Direct It is a warm sounding, twin output, true by-pass (as far as I can tell) delay that can achieve almost reverb-like sounds, good for instruments (especially bass) or vocals, and can also produce some real freaky sounds if you like to twiddle on the fly. Second up - my [u]Korg DDM-110 drum machine[/u] Here's a warts n all review -> [url="http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jan01/articles/korgddm110.asp"]linky[/url] I have owned this from new (bought it mid '80s) and it is in reasonable condition and fully functioning (caveat -> the 4/rim pad sometimes need a second tap). If you are looking for a dynamic live sounding kit then "move on there's nothing to see here" but if all you are after is something to jam along to or store ideas on or if you are specifically looking for a cheesy '80s sound then this is the chap for you. I recently used it to pass on some song ideas to our drummer so it has fresh batteries in it (takes 6 x AA). I'm pretty sure I have a manual (or a link) for it too. [color="#FF0000"]SOLD[/color] Thanks for looking. Rich. Edited June 4, 2009 by Ou7shined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisnameistaken Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) I really don't need a crazy old analogue delay pedal, certainly not one the size of a Bass Micro Synth, but for some reason I'm drawn to it. PM'd! Note to self: Stop browsing classifieds when arriving home from pub. Edited May 13, 2009 by thisnameistaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ou7shined Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 The deal for the Carlsbro Echo has fallen through and is back on the market BUMP. The unhappy purchaser has reported a characteristic that I feel in the spirit of fairness I should mention here to prevent any further disappointment. He says that when you engage the effect, it is already echoing the cycle just prior to switching it on. This leads to the supposition that the pedal splits the signal to bypass and the process simultaneously and once engaged it switches path to the processes signal. I had not actually noticed this myself in the 25 years that I had it but obviously to some people this characteristic is perceptible and reason enough to return it.

thisnameistaken Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I would add though that the repeats sound great - with the feedback cranked it gets really dark and gritty. If I was planning to use it in the studio rather than on my board, or without routinely using such high feedback settings, I'd ignore the bypass quirk and keep it.

simwells Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 On the tiny off chance that the delay pedal is still here when I'm back from being away and my tax rebate cheque arrives I would love it, but can't really see it still being here sadly.

Truckstop Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Sorry mate, you need to get into the habit of 1) reading the posts all the way through and 2) looking at the date of the last post. Seems you're 2 years too late! Truckstop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
