Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 (edited) Recently I was clearing out a cupboard full of boxes that hadn't been disturbed since moving into the house over twenty years ago, and I came across my old Morley Sync-Attack. The 'pik' cable was with it but the metal 'pik' itself was missing. I managed to get some metal picks from aliexpress and today I soldered one to the cable and covered it in adhesive vinyl. I plugged it in to test and it still works exactly as I remember from forty years ago. It is a bit of a weird effect — it detects the pik being grounded when it touches a string. This drops the signal to zero and fades it back in with the speed set by the control on top. I'm sure there are modern pedals that perform this kind of effect better without needing a kludgy pick attachment, so I think this is more of a pedal collector's piece than something that would actually be used on a gig. It was somewhat surprising to see the kind of prices these have gone for, so I'm probably going to list it on reverb and/or ebay for a bit less than the one below.
