    ok… question on the Haz. Currently I have a Boss RE20 but I have decided its only good for the echos. Can the Haz ‘approximate’ a reverb+tape type echo sound… or is this totally not possible? Thinking the Haz + Malekko 616 would be a sweet match…

    I bought a triple Peep from Devi last year (or the year before?), but it didn’t work with the pedals I had then, I should try again with some new pedals…

    It would be interesting if there was a list that said what kind of cable could be used for which effect…

    the devi site had a list at some stage. perhaps a search? all i know is it sure as heck doesnt work with a boss re20 :(

    The so called “civil war” muffs are almost identical to the green russians.

    hang on… I thought the green ones were based on the civil war? i bought mine loooong before the greens hit stores.

    What about the “Civil War” Big Muffs? How do they fit into the picture? I love love love mine… but would love an early era muff…

    Any idea where I can buy knobs (either of those shown above, with a preference for those shown in the second image) as mine have disappeared

    Good news though. I just picked up a copy of the instructions for the original unit. When I get the chance I’ll certainly scan/PDF/post them somewhere.

    that would be awesome!

    i would only do reversible mods on such a classic. drilling holes in the enclosure will greatly decrease its value should a future sale be on the cards.

    if your cousin is worried about hiss i would get him to check other facotrs in his signal path before blaming the pedal (assuming he hasnt already checked). i have a few old muffs and none of them hiss.

    You can definitely cop a rotary speaker sound in the flanger mode. The key is to keep the width knob down enough so that the pitch bend isn’t too deep, and give it a hint of feedback, but not too much. I’d keep the delay time knob at minimum.

    nice one, will give that a go!

    It does nice rotovibe sounds hey!

    care to share how you obtain such sounds? pretty please.

    if you look in the manual, it’s got some settings you can try out, one of which being a leslie.

    here’s a link to the pdf if you don’t have a hard copy http://www.ehx.com/assets/instructions/stereo-polychorus.pdf

    thx for that link… trouble is however that mine is an old vintage one so i fear those settings may not correspond. will give it a go tho…

    I’ll be constructive this time.

    In my experience with my Polychorus, I’ve found it to be able to reach a wide range of sounds. It’s the most tweak-able modulation pedal I’ve ever used. I’ve never searched for a Leslie sound, but I don’t think it would be too hard to find. I honestly don’t know too much about Leslies, or could even think of an example. I just tend to use mine for great analog chorus for my bass.

    Thx Mick… I have had the pedal for ages and use it for Flanger and general Chorus duties… my pedal I use for Leslie sounds I noticed recently can get quite PolyChorus-y… so I thought perhaps the reverse could be true as well. And yep, it sure is tweakable and whilst at work and nowhere near my gear I thought why not post here and see if any other users have had luck pulling a Leslie sound, then when I get home I can plug straight in and see how I go.

    Plug it in and try it out ;)

    erm thanks… a thoughtful, helpful and inspiring reply to a first time poster. i was hoping this wasnt ‘that’ sort of forum.

    i have of course ‘plugged it in’… many times. was hoping others with a similar unit might have struck gold finding the sounds i am after and – obviously – not having much luck finding.

    and insert the obligatory :) to mask the sarcastic nature of my response.
