[jerms]

who loves schaller? what's not to love...grey hammerite, marshall knobs, germanium transistors (in the early ones, the silicon ones sound badass too!!) yum!! and the wah is somethin' else! i'll post some guts tomorrow.

I've Always wanted to try some of those Schiller wahs...I hear the bow wow yoy yoy is pretty unique!

I have had the treadle pedals - none left now as I always found the "wah" a little thin and nasal - but I do have three or four of the fuzzes (they even did a reissue in plastic) and like fuzz faces they can sound great - equally they can sound mediocre I guess it depends on the transistors used - without going to dig them out I can't recall precisely though I think I have at least two types.

What has prompted me to reply Jim is the Treble - Bass boosters - absolutely wonderful pedals - with their 4 way voicing selector - I was telling Romain an old friend about them just yesterday - very much like Johns "Champ treboost" Rangemaster knockoffs minus the transistor switching - THE absolute sleeper of the booster market in my opinion (maybe not now!) anyway I have one besides me right now - was just running a pretty dark sounding SG Jnr into an AC4 (also pretty dark) and the Schaller just brought the setup to life - I think way beyond a Rangie or JHS Boost - in fact to my ear there's even overtones of something like a Klon (sound like damn wine sniffer!!) in that they give a bucketload of "presence" to whatever you're playing - really improving the tactile response of even a basic guitar like that little SG!! (basically a strong P90 on a 4 pound plank of mahogany - cant get much more basic - with the Schaller it's got more choices than a Jag!!)

Cheers - Graham

and NO I don't have a spare to sell! (but I do have an awful lot of vintage treble boosters)

And what might be a decent price for the yoy-yoy thing? I've found one locally and I'm thinking whether to give it a try or not...

I picked up this Schaller Fuzz back in the early days of ebay for a steal.


AC151 transistors


It's a good loud fuzz except in the hottest days of the summer.

With the volume at unity and the intensitat knob set low it can make a less dynamic pedal like a bigmuff come alive and more germanium like when placed first in the chain.


Hammered germans

I have a fuzz and one of those "double pedals" (fuzz + tremolo + volume).

I bought my double pedal in a lot with a vintage Phase 100 and a Jen Double Sound (fuzz wah) for $87 :)


Oh and I'm currently still the highest bidder on another one as well:
