Rdition the legendary yellow pedal appeared in the First half of '70.
Like all sries limits and "vintage" from MXR, manufacturing is above all soupon. As components of the highest quality and assembly "hand with ten fingers."
Of course, it s the ultimate analog.
No more jack for external power supply or operating tmoin in 1973, date of its occurrence.

USE

A pedal two pots: one for the volume (output level if you prfrez) and one for the amount of distortion. What more imple but also more effective? Especially when the rglage the amount of distortion, as is the case here, show progressive hyper and allows a variety of shades.

SOUND QUALITY

So it happens that I have this pedal possd the late 70's and I'm not going to please the madmen vintage or those trying to sell their 200 and mod the original: this is clearly Superior rdition the original! And yes, no luck! Especially it is found less than 130, in pdf, Holland (Rock Palace).
In what way is better?
larger output -level
-quantit more gradual distortion
-rllement rhythmic exploitable even with the distortion rgle background.
Besides, this, it might be time to arrter with this fantasy of vintage gear. Honestly when I listen to guitar sounds on disk groups of 60s and 50s WORST, it really gives me no, but then really do not want to buy a Strat, a LP or Fender or Marshall amp. So perhaps knew it not save this era? Perhaps the n'taient it not prvus microphones for transplanting out levels of guitar amp cabinets?
All I know is that I mostly hear many sounds rotten !!!! Fortunately the 70 would finally bring justice these wonderful instruments.
End of parenthesis.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I have possd possde and many pedals overdrive and distortion and I test more (normal when you have 55 years !!!). This distortion + 73 Vintage Reissue is aussitt buy, become my distortion prefers. Solo, she offers her singing reacts perfectly rglage tonality of the guitar (I love putting Tone "zero" with distortion), makes no noise (that is one of the quietest in my arsenal) and bnficie sustain a standard that becomes infinite if a compressor torque (Dyna Comp in my case). Despite all the sound is "clean" (yes, that's amazing for a distortion, I know! But I hopes to you understand what I am trying to explain), "right" and never to liter bourr between the notes and harmonics.
In short an absolute must that needs to throw as it is available (well, that date -09 / 2012- it just came out).
