    I know the Sovtek Electric Mistress was never put into production.

    I wonder how many dollars people would be shelling out for a black-battery-door one nowadays…

    ??? Do you have one?

    Yeah, I’ve seen the Pigtronix Attack Sustain and unfortunately I’m a shallow SOB who doesn’t like many boutique pedals… haha. Besides, the Attack Sustain is uggggly. However, if I get desperate, I’ll probably suck it up and get the it. I’ll just have to hold out hope I can find a vintage Attack Decay at a good price or that EHX reissues them. That’s a bummer about the delay ICs… didn’t know that. Definitely something to consider.

    yeah, my big sticking point with buying an Attack Sustain is how freaking ugly that pedal is. It’s stupid and vain, I suppose, but man I wish they made a version that actually looked cool.

    Don’t take this as criticism, but I can’t understand how a pedal’s appearance matters a hill of beans if it does what you want.

    I’ve only had a couple come in for repair over the last 10 years. I believe that it’s never been the delay IC yet but that could be because they use the Panasonic chips which seem to have better life to them.

    Plus it doesn’t use a delay IC that’ll eventually go bad.

    So should we be stocking up on Reticons and Panasonics? I hate to think that my time-based EHX boxes will be dead in the coming years 😥

    Luckily the guys over the DIYstompboxes forum are working on a board that’ll allow you to replace the SAD1024 with an MN3007, which is cheap, still available, and quieter. They initially did it for their DIY ADA flanger but I asked them to produce a board for the SAD1024 replacement on other pedals. Hopefully they’ll be able to do the same for the SAD512 used in early DOD and MXR pedals.

    What are they worth? Whatever you can get out of it.

    Seriously, they run around $600+ on ebay because there were apparently only a few hundred or so made.
    If you want the same effect, you can try the Pigtronics ASDR Attack Sustain. It’ll do everything the Attack Decay and more. Plus it doesn’t use a delay IC that’ll eventually go bad.

    Nice set of links that will come in handy, I’m sure. The Big Muff link doesn’t work because of the space so just copy and paste it.

    I’ll do that! I’m not too familiar with contact cleaner, though. You can find it in electronics shops?

    Even Radio Shack carries it. Get Caig De-Oxit if you can find it. A bit more expensive but it’s good stuff.

    Depends on what mods you’re asking about.

    The problem could be the switch. You can use a multimeter to troubleshoot it.

    I’m going to get a PP2+ soon and would like to know.

    AFAIK everything else I have except the frequency analyzer can be powered by it.

    According to Voodoo Labs’ site, the max current supplied by any 9vdc outlet is 250mA. The EHX Hog ships with a 9vdc, 500mA power supply. From this, I would imagine the Hog requires at least 300mA to operate correctly.

    The short answer: I don’t think it will.

    Yeah, on this one they sound like a digitech pds series delay someone has messed with the trim pots on, or a bit crusher in teh fx loop of a digital delay. there is dirty and there is this one.

    It far far far dirtier then my other delays from that time period [couple digitech racks, pds8000, etc]. It sound more like my PDS20/20 that I’ve adjusted the trims on. Actually it sounds JUST like it.

    Does this sound broken to you? Do you know anyone who could referb it for me? Does anyone?

    The only person I’ve found that could do any work on these is CJ Landry. I’ll PM his email to you.

    You said the thread was worthless w/o pics. Since the thread is about the 3-Phase, I though that was what you meant.

    I think I have some pics of the Hall of Science in an article at home.

    Yes, you’re right, I should have been more specific :D

    But I knew the picture from your article and I never heard about the Hall of Science before :)

    I should be putting together an article on the Hall of Science soon. I need to talk to my friend and get his description of the store.
