Members Seth Carmody Posted August 20, 2010 Members Share Posted August 20, 2010 Nice. I've gone on a bit of an EHX bender over the past month myself. Nothing compared to this but I have picked up a vintage micro synth, electric mistress and octave multiplexer. I'm on the hunt for a V2 bad stone and V3-V6 big muff to fill out my "late 70s mid sized box" collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few more to add to that - frequency analyzer, black finger sustainer, zipper, attack equalizer. Now you've got me gassing to do the same A friendly recommendation, the V1 Bad Stone is better than the V2. It doesn't look as cool, but it sounds better, IMO.

Members less_cunning Posted August 20, 2010 Members Share Posted August 20, 2010 I usually wait about a year to jump on the newer stuff, right as the novelty wears off and a glut of them appear on eBay. a most excellent stratagem !!! a reverse Crush'd ?

Those "mummy face" ones can be hard to track down for reasonable dough though and a v2 would match the muff/mistress/zipper. I already have the zipper covered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those "mummy face" ones can be hard to track down for reasonable dough though and a v2 would match the muff/mistress/zipper. I already have the zipper covered I agree, visually the V2 looks slicker next to the Zipper et Company. I don't have a Mummy Face, but I have the treadle version which is a V1 circuit. I used to have a V2, but I sold it last year. My V2 had a horrible volume drop, much more than my 18v Mistress. From what I've read, this is a consistent complaint with the V2. My V1 doesn't have the drop, and it has a vibrato switch. The vibrato switch is a great feature, and something the V2 didn't incorporate. Every now and then I'll see a Mummy Face go on eBay for a bit less than $200. It's one of the pricier units, but it's a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Seth Carmody Posted August 20, 2010 Members Share Posted August 20, 2010 thanks for the advice. i'm already planning a ls-2 for the mistress to permanently reside in but volume drops do indeed blow chunks. let's hope an affordable mummy face comes along. is the vibrato switch unique to the treadle phaser? i thought the vi had a colour switch like the small stone..

Members IRG Posted August 20, 2010 Members Share Posted August 20, 2010 This is the best explanation I can come up with - their old stuff makes me feel like an 8 year old waking up early on a Saturday morning in the 70s, pouring a bowl of Captain Crunch, digging for the toy, sitting in front of the telly, and watching Super Friends. Yeah, I know This actually makes PERFECT sense to me too:lol: Nice collection. Ever been through the factory? I had a tour about 2 years ago, it was like going through Santa's workshop, with Mike starring as Saint Nick with a stogie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, the color switch on the mummy face is also a vibrato switch http://www.ehx.com/forums/viewthread/1834/#15368 I think the "blend" knob is really just a feedback knob. They hadn't quite mastered their labels yet at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
