Vintage Poly Chorus for 20 Euros

Post by RonnieHornschuh »

Just bought a vintage EHX Poly Chorus from the 70s today. The guy only wanted 2 Euros for it, but I paid him 20. One knob is missing.

Already got a reissue Poly Chorus from the 90s. Which one should I keep?

Get the vintage one serviced, sell it for insane money to some Kurdtzkid.

i would rock the re-issue, but keep the vintage one as backup. its always a good idea to have doubles of your gear, especially if you are a gigging musician, i wish i had a pic of my old pedal set up, but i had two brief cases converted to pedal cases that had the exact same pedals in each, and if there was a problem with one, it was an easy switch to the other. the only things that were "exactly" the same were, in one i had a saltbooster, and the other i had a mini muff overdrive. and one had a prototype square snakes(dwarfrcraft devices) and the other was a pre-production model.
