Pile o' Pedals

Last week I was in a studio in Sydney recording some tracks with my band. We used a studio owned by a very well-known Australian musician. And he is a total gear hound. I took a couple of snaps of his pedal collection. See if you can recognise anything in the piles.

the fulltone ocd is the only one that really stuck out to me, besides the ibanez flanger and the maestro. and i think there was a boss tuner pedal in there as well.

the is a wah fuzz pedal that reminds me of a 70s one I used to have. I think these were all produced by one company and then rebadged. Not sure who by but mine was an ibanez one

Lovetone pedals always stick out a mile (as do MXRs and Ernie Ball volumes but the Lovetones are a touch more obscure), Mu-Tron Micro V behind the dynacomp in the first pic, Tube Works Blue Tube in 2nd pic and a white Ibanez 10 series in front of it, not sure which effect that one is but I have the green DML10 Modulation Delay II so I spotted the design pretty quickly... zvex probe in first pic bottom shelf.

couple of lovetone pedals in there that are worth a mint!

Could be a beat up Boss VB-2 with the knobs changed top left in the 2nd photo.

Also a Zvex Super Duper and a Crowther Prunes & Custard.

Yeah, Lovetone big cheese fuzz in there is worth a bit.

The Ibanez flanger is the biggest pedal I've ever seen.

There is a Sho-Bud volume pedal pushed up the back behind the other volume pedals. I got to use the Fulltone OCD in the picture - teamed up with an old Vox AC30 it was a monster. I am going to have to get one I think.
There was also a Zvex Woolly Mammoth which our bass player used on a track - holy shit that is a good bass fuzz.

Also in the pics - MXR Blue Box, Death by Audio Fuzz War.

The studio was nuts - he had an RE-201, and an SRE-555 (pic - not his):

An ARP 2600 Synthesizer:

There was a few old Moogs (I didn't catch the models), and there was also .... an Optigan! (Which we used).

Yeah. Same Superfuzz variant as the Standard Fuzz, reverse (crap) wah. Mine's got no brand:

The purple pedal in the first pic is a Chinese analogue BBD (really, not PT2399) delay, Johnson or AXL. I have one but it broke.

Also in that pic on the right below the Brown Rabbit on the bottom is a Yamaha QY20 or MU5.

Yeah it was a Yamaha QY20

It's nice to see someone else with a Blue Tube, the Maestro fuzz into that would sound pretty damn sweet. I think I see an old MXR flanger in there too and maybe a DOD 250 on it's right and a DOD Phasor 490 (though it could be the compressor) on the left!

There's also another Johnson pedal, the brown tremolo at the top, in the first pic. Not that I've seen one before.

And the big Lovetone, maybe a flanger. And another Lovetone on the shelf below.

It's not hard to i.d. pedals if you have some clue about the manufacturer, simply use discofreq's site.
