Analog delay pedals from the seventies, count em up!

Hm I remember seeing on a bunch of sites that the first memory man was 1976.. damn

Judging by those Ross delay photos and the Ross flanger being much the same as the MXR flanger... that is also much the same as the MXR delay.

The dates on that list are all wrong, the MXR was 77, the Memory Mans were all 78.

Man, you're an encyclopedia.

Here's what I have so far (I use em in the same order, wicked wicked tones available)



the DMM would fall so well into the mix it would be ridiculous. I suppose the wait will be a long one but I will get there!

That's a cool collection you have there! I agree, the DMM would  be gorgeous there.

Yeah the Guyatone went through after I've seen a 79 catalogue and I am glad it did because it's a cool box of glitch.

I trust the dated schematics more than the internet

As far as I can tell, the SAD1024 didn't come on to the market until '77 and the MN3005 followed in '78.

Another early delay was actually by Tycobrahe, but it's insanely rare.

Haha, just got good reference material

Ok, let's talk DMMs for a moment here. Things like two prongs/three prong cables and such. What should I be wary of as an EU buyer? Which versions are best suited to the 220V network that we have here? Although, I've seen cheap step down thingies that accept a 3 prong cable and put the 220 down to 110 before reaching the pedal.

Any DMM bought from the EU countries with the same voltage'll do ya, then you just need the right plug adapter or to just cut the plug off and wire in a new one.

Any way to date these old Maxons??
The guy I was telling you about posted this old AD-80 once again, here's what the picture shows - http://prntscr.com/5o0gib , this looks like an early unit by the number probably...
This one looks the condition it's in, pretty nice overall - http://prntscr.com/5o0imf

Well from what I found the particular line of pedals was made from 79-81, if that means the delay was made when the line started I can't say (perhaps the '80' in the name suggests it was made from 1980? Speculation though).

You could date the pot codes for a slight better idea but it's not 100%.
