I have a vintage SP as well, and when it arrived, the treble boost switch was bad. I disassembled it, cleaned it with some contact cleaner, and now it works good as new. Maybe that’s all it needs – a bit of cleaning.

It’s a very interesting pedal, and makes a great supplement to your board; but I wouldn’t rely on it as a dedicated trem, pitch shifter, reverb, or even distortion. There’s very little flexibility in each effect.

If you paid less than $150 for it, then you still got a good deal on it; but no, it isn’t a pre-1983 unit.

The original 4 knobbers will usually fetch anywhere between $200 – $300 on eBay depending on the condition of it, and whether you are willing to sell internationally.

I’ve owned several of them and sold them, but I’ve kept one. I wouldn’t want it to be my only delay option, but it has a very unique tonal quality that works perfectly in certain applications. I plan to hold on to it. Here are couple of demos I did for 2 units that I ended up selling.

Do you prefer the deluxe version, or the BMP-sized version?
I can’t believe how the prices on these things have skyrocketed in the last year.

I’m not exactly convinced yet that I love the Sonic Boomer. It’s my least favorite of the drums I’ve heard. I send it through my Octave Multiplexer to get my kick sound. It works well that way, but by itself it’s pretty meh.

Thanks guys! :wave:

Flerb with eBow allows for some great B-movie Sci-Fi sounds. I’d love to hear the flerb on a theremin

LOL

I have a Rondo Gigantic board that I’ve carried to gigs: http://www.rondomusic.com/pdc410i.html

Not quite 8′ long, but it’s like carrying a heavy keyboard around. Possible with one person, but safer with two.

Maybe it has modulation, but no continuous control over it. The depth might be preset, like the rates were on the original, and the switch is just on/off.
