make sure the ground pin is connected inside and hasn’t come loose or snapped off or something too. (you can’t miss it — it’s a little spring looking thing)
Mouser Electronics and a few other companies sell them in small quantities. I think Mouser has the whole Davies line on their website. That’s where I get my V3 replacement knobs (#1470). They have a model 1510 that looks similar to the black V1 knobs, but theu are only about half the size.
I have two V1 Muffs with them and I have seen several other V1 Muffs and a three knob Foxey Lady with these exact knobs, so I assume they were production.
I recently got these — they look black from a distance, brown on coser inspection and under strong light you can see they’re actually a kinda 70s faux marble deal. They’re cool.
I got some NOS triangle-ish knobs.
Close up, and under strong light, they’re almost tortoishell colour though instead of black. Look like they belong on nasty 70s furniture
I’d be in for a battery door though if these were ever made…
That’s cool — a Bad Stone with a treadle. You control the sweep I guess so it acts almost like a filter? You need an external footswitch for LFO auto sweep?
Here’s a gutshot of the regular 2-knob + switch v1
Runs at 18V, so two 9V batteries.
I vote we call Ram’s Head Mike’s Head from here on out
My Bad Stone looks like it’s had a hard life. It was completely shagged when I got it too, corroded, leaky caps, disconnected wires, grimy as all hell. One of my favourite phasers now though.
They’re worth whatever you want to pay to have them. I wouldn’t pay more than $10-20.
$10-20 would be great — not going to happen though (unless you’ve got some lying around you’d sell me that is )
Really I’m missing one of these but pretty much given up one ever finding one…
Just an update to this post. The Phase 45 works perfectly now. I wrapped the board in foam and problem solved. The DOD is in need of a new switch, making it a great oppurtunity to add a 3DPT switch and the Roland…OMG! This pedal is a tone monster and is probably my most used pedal lately. Very different from my Muffs. It is a Distortion pedal through and through. Not that fuzzy. Great for punk to metal. I MUST have another. I wish somebody made a clone of this pedal, because I would buy 5!
If you like the BeeGee, try a BeeBaa or a Double Beat. You’ll like it.
