Members driverhasabomb Posted February 24, 2009 Members Share Posted February 24, 2009 It plugs into your reverb jacks and turns the reverb channel into distortion. It supposedly sounded like garbage but it's not something you see every day. How'd it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members L6Sguy Posted February 24, 2009 Members Share Posted February 24, 2009 basically overdriving the volume of the reverb in a loop? iirc, it'd take the verb out of the rverb loop and put a drive circuit in the reverb's place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense, apparently the things weren't on the market too long. I've never seen one in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hangwire Posted February 24, 2009 Members Share Posted February 24, 2009 damn, I am going to be the cause of someone blowing up their amp... how about getting two RCA-1/4" adapters and just putting a cheap dirt box in like an effects loop... ???

Why not just plug in a dirt pedal I think the Ice Cube was around when there weren't many OD pedals on the market. Most dates I've seen were around '76 and earlier.

Phil O'Keefe Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 You'd have significant level and impedance issues if you tried using some RCA -> 1/4" cables / adapters and a dirt pedal, and could easily damage some of your gear. NOT recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kap'n Posted February 24, 2009 Members Share Posted February 24, 2009 It essentially does the same thing as a pull boost in an old MV Fender. Not a lot of folks clamoring for those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mandooks Posted February 24, 2009 Members Share Posted February 24, 2009 My uncle used one on his Super Six Reverb. I don't remember what it sounded like cause I used to use a Korg Multi-effects unit distortion for my "sound". Man was I a noob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
