OPD! (was: I just have to share)

Way back in the late '70s I bought my first pedal; an EHX Triggered Y-Filter. Used it in some basement bands, but in the '80s I gave it as an extended loan to the bass player in the band I was in. Long story made short: I met up with him tonight at a bar/club/thingy and he still has the pedal, it still works, and he is more than happy to give it back to me! :omg:

Hope to get it soon. Perhaps over the holiday break.

The funny thing is, he had no memory of where he got it; it was just "always there" as if it had materialized out of nowhere. He was quite shocked to hear it was mine and how I bought it at Grinnell's in downtown Detroit http://buildingsofdetroit.com/places/grinnell years before he ever used it. I'll post pics when I get it back.

Sounds like a nifty pedal. :joy:

I dig long-lost-gear stories.

I know that all of the stuff I lent out 20 years ago (a new Ibanez bass, Alamo amp, misc pedalz...) are long gone never to be seen again. A buddy did give me a Tubeworks Real Tube pedal back in the 80s that I still have and use time to time. I offered it back to him recently but he wants me to keep it. :cool:

Thats a rad story. Funky filters are fun. :stitch:

Yeah, I'm pretty sure my first amp, a Silvertone harp amp from the '50s (all tubes, of course) that I let someone borrow is long gone as well. But that's OK as it was a hand-me-down from another friend.

The Y-Filter is actually kind of horrible when used for it's original purpose; a kind of auto-wah-ish guitar pedal, but when used as more of a synth module or a drum processor it's lots of fun. :bob:

One of my friends just found his old y-trigger filter and electric mistress. :love:

I guess this explains why you are constantly talking to me about envelope filters

Now if only I could find my electric mistress which I sold for peanuts back in the '80s :grumpy:

Got it!

The knob is new. I need to find an adapter as a new battery isn't working. I was told the unit still works, though. :idk:

As soon as I can find an adapter and verify that it works.
