Members AbbeSauniere Posted December 1, 2006 Members Share Posted December 1, 2006 Ever seen one of these?' alt='>'> ' alt='>'> ' 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sir H C Posted December 1, 2006 Members Share Posted December 1, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbbeSauniere Posted December 1, 2006 Author Members Share Posted December 1, 2006 Already in my possession. It sounds amazing! Really vocal and has a slight boost when engaged. Kind of reminds me of a Fulltone Clyde, but with more character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ZachOmega Posted December 1, 2006 Members Share Posted December 1, 2006 What transistors are those? BC2??C? And is that a Kodak battery meant for cameras? Must last forever in a guitar pedal. -Zach Omega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The battery is just a kodak branded standard 9 volt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ZachOmega Posted December 2, 2006 Members Share Posted December 2, 2006 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. -Zach OmegaOriginally posted by AbbeSauniere BC209 transistors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbbeSauniere Posted December 2, 2006 Author Members Share Posted December 2, 2006 Originally posted by bieke I think it's italian made the casing looks a lot like the Silversound and Allsound pedals 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
