If an expensive guitar effects pedal exists, I expect it to do something special. Indeed in the EH Tube Zipper, here is another unique sounding pedal which I do not find duplicated in the DSP realm or from other manufacturers. The Zipper design is basically 4 tube stages being very high gained and over driven into a fuzz tone effect but with an auto wah filter circuit in the middle (like a Dunlop wah wah, etc. but no foot pedal to manually vary the wah) ...Read Full Article
Read Full ArticleVince, the shop owner, has worked as chief technician at KLH/Burwen Research and knows this equipment inside and out. Recently he was asked to possibly update and improve this unit. He modified the click sensor circuit to gain ride the audio ticks to allow easier and less critical "sensitivity" and "threshold" adjustment, so that the unit tolerates a greater range of audio level coming through without false "de-clicking" of audio transients. ...Read Full Article

Read Full ArticleI've been modifying these units for twenty plus years and have come to realize many people want its sound character left intact but want to reduce the noise, poor channels separation, intermittent connectors and improved calibration of the enhancement effects is very audible and desirable. The unit still retains its same "tube-a-phonic" sound but all functions track more accurately. At this point in time I can still do the modification and repairs for about $180-(if you ship in a good box) this includes all shipping and parts to return....Read Full Article
Read Full ArticleSpring reverbs are popular again. This unit has been serviced the spring pan assemblies opened and the transducer pick up coil assembly aligned and glued down to maintain reliable operation. The springs have also been "tuned" to make the reverb smoother over a wider frequency range. This is done by slightly shortening and slightly stretching the spring in sections to tune out severe spring resonances and excessive ringing. Both channels have matching service done. The unit still sounds like a spring reverb system, but the dynamic range and quality of the reverb is richer. This unit uses 2 sets of 3 springs per channel (quite a sophisticated version). I collect and modify the Orbans, Teacs, Fostex, Furmans, and AKGs. All get the same treatment (except the AKG "torsion spring" systems which remain untouched). Often times I am also adjusting the gain/level drive to and from the spring to improve the noise and to reduce the spring "rumble". The result is better clarity, punch and air of sound quality....Read Full Article
