  • But the brand new reissue are more expensive about $250, the old vintage you can find them about $150.....

  • No big difference. If there is a difference (which it probobly is cuz component values change over time) it's not worth to pay all that extra money for a vintage. BTW your reissue will sound almost like the old when it gets old. :-)

  • Question: Can a Flanger and a Uni-vibe type pedal be interchanged or at least get that same "Hendrix" sound from a Flanger? I'm tring to figure out the differences in sound between vibes, flangers, phasers and chorus.....they kind of all have a similar quality.....I've been playing for years and years but have never used much of those effects. Now I'm wanting to add them to my playing style...any suggestions would be helpful..........peace

  • Your amp tech/repair guy can easily make the voltage controller pedal for one of these out of an old dead cry baby wah. I had one made for mine....it is basically set up like a "balance" potentiometer, that's all I know about the technical stuff, but for about $20 worth of parts you can have a controller pedal for it....the original ones are all but impossible to find these days, and the controller pedal is one of the things that makes these so versatile and special...

  • @andrewmward1

    Have you tried vintage pedals? Most modern guitar players wouldnt be satisfied with them at all.. they are very different and much more primitive then modern pedals.

  • I have the new one and I'm not completely satisfied... and for what this thing costs I should be thrilled

  • Never apologize for wearing socks, man.

  • @bwork65 The original one has the power supply internal. Just a AC cord comes out of the unit

  • Somebody gave me one of the '79 models, had no idea how desireable these are. Mine is working a little fuzzy but I am definitely gonna have to get it working properly after seeing so many cool vids on it.

  • Original sounds "chewier" (and thus more desirable).
