Ibanez Flying Pan reissue

I guess Ibanez is only making 777 of these. The originals go for close to a grand so these may be worth checking out.

The Flying Pan will be packaged in a special 1970 s-style faux-vintage distressed box. Your Ibanez PF777 Flying Pan Phaser will look like a classic guitar pedal that was discovered in the pawn shop!

really? fucking. dumb.

that is silly. You're going to step on it. Who cares? I am, however, thinking about jumping on this. Ibanez has made some pretty awesomely weird pedals.

Can't believe I'm only now noticing this. Sorry about the repost, then.

It happens to everyone once in a while.

And Jcyphe doesn't get too wound up about it, so you're alright.

i thought they meant the unit would be relicked, but i think they just mean the box.

Either is pretty lame, but trhat looks like a pretty pedal to me.

who cares what the box looks like? i want one of these, but probably won't be able to afford it before they're all gone.

Exactly.

So why the fuck would anyone spend money and time relicing it to look old school? PEOPLE ARE WEIRD.

I love those old style boxes, I hate how every uses those generic MXR style boxes and even worse that new box E13 and Catalinbread uses that's like the size of pack of gum. I understand it's the IPOD generation and everybody is obsessed with making everything diminutive but it's lame.

I understand why small "boutique" makers and the hobbyists use them, they're affordable and durable. I meant more the production guys and name companies who could maybe r&d something neater.

Where can I find slider potentiometers, I looked on mouser but they don't have any by that generic search term.

I see some on ebay. Does anybody know the part name for these on Mouser

This isn't really relevant, but: I had a thougt the other day. I'd bought a decent volume of Orwell's essays, it's a decent sized hardback. I was thinking about how you can hollow out books to hide crap in, and thought it would be cool if you hollowed one out and housed a pedal in it. Obviously you'd have to reinforce it and lacquer the fuck out of it, but I reckon it would look cool if you had an old book with a couple of knobs sticking out of it. Would be kinda large though.

Insanely cheap. Their regular pots are Alphas and sell for $0,50.

Totally recommend them. Are you making a Harmonic Perculator?

Irrelevance is cool sometimes, and that would garner a heap of curious stares indeed.

I've in mind to cause some stares as well: While on the topic of the less than ordinary, it looks like my first simple wiring project will be an impractically sized MOSFET boost in a huge 7.5" x 4.3" x 2.4" Hammond-style box. Single knob on a very sparse top, accented with a printout sticker image of some anime character/scene.
