BOSS CH-1 Super Chorus
condition: showroom, original box
Boss haven’t changed the pedal design of the range for 25-ish years which says a lot. They’re always a good choice for live.

made in Italy 70s
condition: excellent / vintage, GuitarVices box

MXR Blue Box Octave/Fuzz
condition: gigged / marked, GuitarVices box
As famously used by Jimmy Page. Reissue (otherwise it would be 5 times as much). Pretty crazy - don’t be tempted if you don’t know what it does!
£55
COLUMBUS Flanger
made in Japan 80s
condition: excellent / vintage, GuitarVices box
These came from a small factory in Japan that produced pedals for several different brands. Excellent components, well put together, great sound.

mega-gain. Massive. Grrrrr....
£99
MARSHALL Guv’nor Overdrive 90s
made in England
condition: excellent / vintage, original box
Fantastic, classic overdrive sound with a secret weapon - it’s loop socket; a stereo jack send/return so when you kick in the GUV you can also add other fx with just the one s t o m p !! - a touch of delay, a smattering of flange, a drizzle of verb...
£99 including fx loop send/return lead
MXR Limiter. 70s, original mains powered.
condition: excellent / vintage, original box
Like new. Amazing condition with dedicated mains supply. And of course it is studio quality-dogs danglers-too many things to mention - in a pretty small box. This has the potential to completely control & influence your guitar sound.
£175 with original box and instructions
VISUAL SOUND Route 66 Mark 1 Overdrive + Compressor
condition: showroom, original box
Go from clean to singing lead with one stomp on the 2 footswitches. Or from a lovely bluesy chord sound with the comp & some amp gain, then switch to full on rock voicings by switching on the overdrive on whilst turning the compressor off! Again, just the one stomp!!! Brilliant. Based on the Tubescreamer so you can’t actually go far wrong....
£109
SEYMOUR DUNCAN Lava Box Overdrive / Fuzz
condition: showroom, original box
Cleans up well when you back off guitar volume and potentially delivers a massive amount of gain/drive/wumph. Probably best to think fuzz lead rather than crunch rhythm but that does it a disservice as it’s very flexable. Best Bit: The 6 point Rumble dial.
£72
Duracell Procell 9v Battery
FREE P&P
ARION Stereo Flanger
made in Japan.
condition: excellent / used
Great sound. Battery goes under name plate - it’s a Toploader! Could call it a ‘Dancing in the Moonlight’ pedal but that could imply it gets you a Scott Gorham lead (we are not worthy)sound... mind you, this would do a good impression of Philip (we are not worthy) Lynott’s classic bass riff on the Thin Lizzy song of the same name as that other lot.
£29
BOSS Turbo Distortion DS-2
condition: showroom, original box
Includes a free remote switch & lead to change the distortion setting. 2 sounds in 1 box... DS-1 plus...

£49
VISUAL SOUND H20 Liquid Chorus / Delay Mark 1
condition: very good, original box
Fantastic warm analogue chous + analog-voiced digital delay with a footswitch for each. Solid construction. Some glue on the base from velcro but new fat rubber feet have been added. Exceptional.
£109

CATALINBREAD Hyperpak Kickass Dirty Channel
made in USA
condition: showroom, original box
Made in California, this is the 23rd made of the original version. The idea is if you don’t have a pre-amp gain control this will do it for you. I tried it with a 70s 50w head live and didn’t even have it on the floor... it sat on the top of the amp and stayed on all night because it cleans up so well when you back off your guitar volume and those funky bluesy rhythms sounded fantastic. It’s so small there’s no room for a battery - PSU only.
£95

£195
SOUND CITY Echo Compresor
made in Japan
condition: excellent / vintage, GuitarVices box
The 2nd rarest thing. Great sound although not massively flexable. It doesn’t echo.... I don’t know why they called it that.
£75
ARIA Digital Delay
made in Japan
condition: excellent / vintage, GuitarVices box
Made by Maxon. It’s digital. It’s a delay. It’s very good.
