Смоляное чучелко — EP (2020). Effects Pedals
BOSS DS-1
Silver screw, first version with long dash. Serial number 9900. Japan, October 1980. Main distortion.
RAT
Small Box RAT '84 Whiteface. With LM308 chip. The Sound of the Underground. Used on bass.
Electro-Harmonix Polychorus
Early 80s. Bought in the US, went through diagnostics by Howard Davis, an EHX engineer. I'm not sure if Howard participated in creating the Polychorus, but he is the author of the Deluxe Memory Man. Both pedals came out in '81.
Electro-Harmonix Small Clone
The pedal can be identified by the date code on the potentiometer (has a plastic shaft (as a feature — the pedal doesn’t hum when touched by hand)), the last 4 digits (8339) mean year '83, week 39. Vintage pedals have a clear and smaller (3mm) LED compared to the red and larger (5mm) LED in reissues. Also, originals don’t have a dash (-) separating the words FULL and CHORUS. EHX from '79 to the early '80s used chips: MN3007 or RETICON SAD1024 (the rarest and most in-demand due to being used by 'you-know-who'). But of course, the point is just that the reissue sounds like crap.
