Original Fender Lead I in black with the original case for a couple hundred less than they're going for now.

I know these tend to be really divisive guitars amongst folks, but I've always admired how it was it's own weird thing. Plus, I can finally get my Mission of Burma cover band off the ground.

Those are pretty great. I've played 3 of them owned by friends. Two were excellent (though one of these was a Lead II), and one was a dog (really bad frets/neck and finish).

18" Paiste 2002 Crash and a Zildjian 16" K Custom Dark Crash.

I played a soft-synth version of this pedal for a while and fell in love. I love tuning my guitar weird and playing harmonics through it for a most evil ring mod.

Sure! It's in the Amplitube 4 Joe Satriani bundle as the "Satch Octave" pedal. All the effects in his bundle are great, he even includes a fantastic Scholz Rockman emulator.

I love 'em! Good score.

I totally misunderstood the meaning of soft synth here!
Here I was, somehow imagining a MIDI controlled VST that was voiced after this pedal.

Either way, enjoy the pedal!

For anyone wanting this in a cheap alternative pedal: The Ultimate Octave is a very slightly tweaked Foxx Tone Machine. The creator of Foxx is now the head of Danelectro. The super cheap and totally bad ass Danelectro French Toast is the same circuit as the Tone Machine. That Fulltone one is bulletproof though.

This thing is great. I had one years ago and regret selling it. I was gonna re-buy it for this but I think I'll rely too much on the octave on/off switch. If I end up not using it much, I'll probably just switch back to this little guy! I also found the original Foxx Tone Machine to be a little too harsh and spiky. Something about the Fulltone sounded smoother to my ears.
