    Hi I am new here, and need your expertise.

    I just recieved this pedal, wich I paid quite an amount for because I wanted a pristine V2.

    It looked good on the images of it. When I opened the package, what met me, looked nothing like my other V2 or any images I have seen of a V2 pedal.

    The paintjob looked like something of a homemade paint mockup gone bad. The lines and letters are much broader then my other one. This to the point there is no spacing between the letters. The hole in the A where it reads AC is filled. Smearing occurs, and the lines and letters are fuzzy.

    The letters in the black area where it reads Electro Harmonix, are much more narrow then my other V2.
    The letters at the bottom again is wider. The paint is also thicker (rise higher) then my other one.

    The inside looks original V2 to me.

    Have anyone here seen this before, is it common?

    I tried to upload some images, but they were to big. If you please can go look at the images at this link :

    Please post comments what you think.

    Kind regards,

    There is one other thing, the LFO rate is much faster at the same setting, then my other one.

    Hi. Thanks for your reply, your word means a lot.
    If you say it is original paint, it is. Even though it sure don’t look like it.

    Have you seen this before?

    About the fast LFO speed, is that a trimpot issue, or did they vary in speed rate from pedal to pedal?

    Thanks.

    does the lfo speed has something to do with component values and tolerances? (and I’m phrasing it as a question cause most of the time I’m wrong when I guess :lol:)

    Part tolerances and differences are likely and will cause the variation in the LFO.

    Sooo…you are of the opinion that this is an original paintjob?

    What I see, is that the black portion is bolder, thus making the “Phase shifter” narrower an everything else wider. I mean, it’s exactly the same desing, on the same box, with the same circuit board…
