Newsflash! It's not too late to order one of these fabulous devices before Christmas. #effectspedal #guitarfx #fxpedals

Now I have a box of RCA 12AU7WA tubes. Ho - Ho -Ho. #diehard #diehardisachristmasmovie #RCA

Merry Christmas from everyone at Effectrode! www.effectrode.com/news/merry-c...

The only thing that sounds like a real tube amp IS a real tube amp. #GuitarAmp #tubeamp #guitarist

Fast Fact: The Hammond 'Novachord' contained over 160 vacuum tubes. This fantastic machine was developed decades before the first Moog first electronic synth. #hammondorgan #vacuumtube #synthesizer

In the pipe, five by five: 'Glass-A' triode buffers! Note the shiny mil-spec button joints and spotlessly clean circuit board. #effectpedals #guitareffects #guitarfx

Oh-no! The old Sylvania factory is being demolished. The vacuum tubes used in the Effectrode PC-2A compressor, Fire Bottle & Blue Bottle boosters and Mercury fuzz came from this factory. End of an era. #effectspedals #guitarfx #guitareffects

The Tube-Vibe caught my eye, but then, at the bottom of the photo, I saw the Arion Flanger. When I was in my teens I built a pedal board with 5 Arion pedals on it: the Arion flanger, chorus, distortion, compressor and delay. Anyone else start out on Arions? #effectspedals #guitarfx #guitareffects

Legend! Great to see Steve Rothery still using the Effectrode 'Fire Bottle' boost pedal. #marillion #ScriptForAJestersTear

More 'Tube-Vibe' action (starts at 16:32) care of Sean Harold: youtu.be/2CNMsMTGqX0?...

Just popping into the local store to test my tubes. #vacuumtubes #thermionicvalve

Another video by Sean Harold - Tube-Vibe kicks in at 12:20. youtu.be/SC3anTZ1svk?... #uni-vibe #jimmyhendrix

In the pipe five by five: the Tube Drive delivers savage, super-saturated, creamy distortion and smooth, bluesy overdrive. Designed in Oregon, USA. Built in Stoke-on-Trent, Britain. #guitarfx #effectspedals #guitarist

There's nothing worse than an amateur paint job on an old #Binson #Echorec. Fortunately with an understanding of solvents, and a great deal of patience, things can be put back the way they should be #binsonechorec

After spending hours shoe-horning this wiring loom into the body of my 335 I now understand why they're called 'f' holes! Squeezing all those CTS pots, switch and socket through the lower f holes just doesn't seem possible does it? #gibson #epiphone #threethreefive

Take your tubes to the local chemist to get them tested: That's how it was back in those days!

Ahh! Shiny! A new old stock Italian manufactured 470KOhm 'Lesa' potentiometer finds it's new home inside a T7E #Binson #Echorec #PinkFloyd

My goodness - check out what the boffins at Sylvania created back in the 1960s - a triple triode tube! #electrontube #vacuumtube #valve

'Phaseomatic' model PM-3 in the foreground and the old model PM-2 in the background. #effectsPedal #fxpedal #guitarfx

There's circuit boards and then there's Effectrode circuit boards. #compressorpedal #effectspedal #la2a

#Binson #Echorec servicing tip #9: Never allow 'Servisol' switch cleaner or isopropyl alcohol to come in contact with old resistors as it dissolves the coloured bands. #BinsonEchorecRestoration

Good morning to all fellow guitarists, and other mortals! #guitarfx #effectspedals #guitarist

When guitar gear becomes art: The Effectrode PC-2A Photo-optical #effectspedal #guitarfx #la2a

A prototype Effectrode #effectspedal that didn't make it into production… yet - the 'Acoustode' #vacuumtube preamp for acoustic with tube notch filter and tube phase inverter! #guitarfx

New multi-section capacitor installed. #binson #echorec #binsonechorec

The world's richest & creamiest overdrive pedal is back in stock! #overdrive #distortion #effectspedal

This evening I'm inspecting and boxing #Sylvania 7327 dual #triode #tubes. These tubes are rare as hens teeth so I'm in the strange position of feeling reluctant to use them in an effects pedal project… but then what's the point in having them. I'm turning into a museum curator

Some days it seems like reality is beginning to unravel! #binsonechorec #vintageecho #echorec #vintagegear

Newly machined magnetic drum locking screw installed - much better than the 4BA round-head screw that someone had jammed in there! #binson #echorec #tapeecho

Re-magnetising a #Binson #Echorec erase magnet assembly. As the years pass by these old Alnico magnets gradually weaken and after 50 years they're well overdue for a refill. #binsonechorec

NOS Echorec head on the left, well worn Echorec head on the right. Time for a relap. #BinsonEchorec #VintageGear

This wafer-switch is clean! #echorec #binson

We're quite serious when we say, "Guitar tone is rocket science!"
