    Put a booster like a lpb-1 after (or before if you prefer) together with the hoax on a loop, both pedals on. When you activate the loop, the booster and the flanger become active and with no volume drop.

    I concur! I run a booster at the end of my chain because my phasers drop the volume. I have been meaning to throw them in a loop with a booster, but haven’t got around to it yet. It would make it the most optimum option.

    I have that problem all the time too… :D

    That’s what I was gonna try to fund with these, but I think I am going to have to just save the funds.

    The newer ones are push on, but the newer MXR pots have thinner shafts. Here is a comparison pic:

    So, the Phase 45 cuts out on occasion, until I touch the jacks. Must be a grounding issue of some sort. Maybe that’s why there is duct tape on the inside cover and some gauze around the board. It’s a shame. I may have to send it out for repair, because this thing is slowly earning a spot next to my Small Stone. As far as the knobs go, the new MXR knobs don’t fit. The shaft is too thick.

    Yeah, I am going to try to get proper knobs for both the MXR and the DOD.

    I even told the guy that his pedals are worth more than the guitar. He is an older gentleman and he told me that “pedals are for young guys who will eventually find the right amp and guitar and realize that pedals are not necessary”, and that “the pedals are worth nothing to me.” He said he got the better deal by getting a quality guitar to use as a back up to his original 60’s Gibson Les Paul without spending any money.

    I’m glad he is happy with the trade because I am ECSTATIC!!!

    Thanks! I’m pretty happy about it. The DOD 250 is actually really good sounding. I can’t find a date on it, but from the materials used on the inside and the font on the front, it is a first issue yellow. They are pulling some decent pennies too. I am conflicted though. They sound great with my rig. I don’t really want to flip them like I originally planned.

    Sorry, I don’t have anything to record with. My camera distorts too quickly to catch any kind of sound from my amp. Here are some youtube vids that aren’t mine.

    The Bee Gee is an old Fuzz! Sounds pretty darn good too.

    HOLY CRAP!!!

    IMG_1182.jpg

    The pots on the Phase 90 read 137…77!!!

    The DOD, I can’t tell yet, but I will find an age. By the looks of the inside, it is the first yellow version!

    All of this was traded for this:

    The cool part is the original trade that got me the LP copy. I traded my Dean acoustic for a Fender Toronado and the LP. The Dean cost me $350 new a few years ago. The Toronado alone should bring at least that now, plus this LP. I am pretty stoked. If they are all vintage, then I’m sure I can get quite a bit for them and finally fund a Rams head or Triangle muff!!!

    I’m sure electrical engineering would be the way to go, but also experience with building and designing pedals. Here is a good place to start:

    I love my black Russian Small Stone! In fact I love it so much that I just bought a green Russian on ebay. I haven’t got it yet, but I am looking forward to it!
