Ever seen one of these?IMG_1002.jpg' alt='>'> IMG_1001.jpg' alt='>'> IMG_1003.jpg' alt='>'>

Inductor is the same as the one in my 60s Colorsound, but aside from the board, all of the other parts, jacks, switch, casing look like nothing I've seen on a Solasound produced wah. Seller claims it was made by Solasound in the 70s. Sounds amazing BTW. More like a Vox than a Colorsound, but works in front of a fuzz.

That is too cool. I would say that the case looks like a lot of those Guild/Companion style wahs and volumes, but the inductor and transistors scream UK. It does look 70s, and if it sounds cool get it. It is a very unique looking device.

What transistors are those? BC2??C? And is that a Kodak battery meant for cameras? Must last forever in a guitar pedal.

I'd agree that the casing is very Companion like, I cant think that the circuit board reminds me of any company in particular. The battery is just a kodak branded standard 9 volt.

Taking a quick look at the specs, seems very similar to a BC109 with the exception of case and the maximum VCE rating be 5 volts higher than the BC109. The minimum current gain is also higher but the maximum is the same.

:thu: I found a pic of a Silversound Distortion/Wah and the treadle looks 90% identical to my new wah. All I could find out was that they were an Italian company from the 70s.
