MULTIVOX BIG JAM SE-7 DELAY MACHINE

Made in Japan
Analog delay & reverb
Power Requirements: 9V DC regulated
Missing battery cover as pictured below
Made in the early 1980's
Box & manual not included

Great range of sound from slapback echo to infinite repeat drones to lush spring reverb

Big Jam was produced by the Multivox, an American company formed in the mid '70's who marketed Japanese-made keyboards whose designs were very similar to more popular manufacturers (especially Roland). They faded into synth history by the early 80's.

They were famous for their Tape-Echo machines, analog delay & reverb rack units and the Little David, which was a Leslie simulator that looked like a miniature Leslie cabinet.

ROLAND RE-201 SPACE ECHO

Recently serviced & in good condition

The Roland RE-201, commonly known as the Space Echo, is an audio analog delay effects unit.

A tape echo device records incoming audio to a loop of magnetic tape, then replays the audio over a series of several playback heads before it is erased again by new incoming audio. The tape used in the RE-201 is the standard 1/4" tape of the open-reel variety, but made as one, continuous loop. In the Roland 'RE' range there are no reels of any kind, the tape is transported via a capstan drive. The tape loop is contained in a loose, constantly moving jumble in the tape chamber (also known as the tape tank) under a plastic panel which protects the tape and keeps it from getting tangled.

There are several control dials on the device that alter such aspects as tape speed, repeat pattern (an 11-position rotary switch), one instrument and two microphone inputs, a single analog backlit VU meter for all three inputs, wet/dry mix for both echo and reverb, and intensity (number of repeats; in a sense, it actually reduces how much the erase/record head erases the tape), that can be adjusted to a user's liking; and bass/treble controls to EQ the sound, as well as dry and effected "Echo" output jacks with a switch for output setting (-10, -20, -35db levels.)


Used as a delay / echo, the Roland RE-201 is said to produce an unpredictable delay that is warm and gritty sounding. It is also capable of producing a large variety of its own sound effects, even without an input signal (by turning the intensity control to maximum and allowing the unit to self-regenerate, or self-oscillate, while manipulating the tape speed and other controls).

The Roland RE-201 was used by musicians like David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) and Randy Rhoads (Ozzy Osbourne).

Despite its age, the Roland RE-201 is widely sought after, and still used by many bands to this day, notably in the experimental work of Radiohead, and the rockabilly stylings of Brian Setzer, the latter using one recently to get the slapback sound sought after for rockabilly and such styles of music.

MARSHALL SHREDMASTER

Satisfactory condition
Not in production any longer & very much sought after
No box & manual
Made in England
Notable users include Kevin Shields, Johnny Greenwood & Thom Yorke

This sadly discontinued stomper is truly one of the greats and deserves a re-issue! Despite being be out of production for a number of years, this unit has always enjoyed a rabid and enthusiastic following. Typical gain and output knobs handle distortion amounts while a treble, bass, and a contour knob take care of tonal duties. The Shredmaster was alway billed as a Marshall in a box, and while this is true at some settings, the scope and range of this pedal goes far beyond than that. Mellow settings recall the glory days of Bluesbreaker-era Clapton while extreme setting pull off Radiohead-like crunch. Split the difference and you'll hear shades of everything from singing sustain of Gary Moore to the valvey bite of My Bloody Valentine. The housing is thick and sturdy and the knobs are nice and tacky. We seen a few sticky switches on a few of these old Marshalls but we always brought them back to life with a little contact cleaner.

BOSS NF-1 NOISE GATE

Good condition
All parts are original
No box & manual included
Made in Japan (black label - see pic below)

The NF-1 is a noise eliminator like the later NS-2. Adjust the Sens knob to the threshold level where you want the pedal to cut off and adjust the Decay knob to how fast you want the sound to disappear. It's not going to get much easier than that. The NF-1 should by normal conventions be called NG-1, but NG could be interpreted as No Good so NF-1 for Noise Filter was chosen instead.

The NF-1 Noise Gate cuts the annoying noise and hum that can be generated when pausing during a performance. The NF-1 is equipped with a sensitivity control for adjusting the gating threshold in accordance to the ratio of noise to signal. A Decay control is also included for setting the length of decay for each note before the gate cuts in, while a wide 100msec to 1.6 second decay time control range allows the NF-1to be used with virtually any musical instrument from guitars to keyboards. Ideal for eliminating the internal noise generated by musical instruments and other electrical or electronic equipments and the hum picked up by wires, the NF-1 can also be effectively used to shut out external noise from lighting fixtures, etc.

Specifications
Controls: Sens, Decay
Connectors: Input, Output, AC Adaptor
Current Draw: 3.9 mA (DC 9V)
Weight: 400 g (14 oz)
Input Impedance: 470kOhm
Recommended Load Impedance: 10kOhm or more
Recommended AC Adaptor: ACA Series
The NF-1 was sold from February 1979 to May 1988.
