EQD pedal posted on FB: Chrysalis

[Bret608]

Does anyone know if the Zeppelin recordings Jamie mentioned occurred in that short period where Page was using a Univox Unidrive? If so, making the Chrysalis transitor- rather than IC-based would actually make a lot of sense.

so this will be a full production pedal and not like a small run thing a la dream crusher/sound shank?

It's part of the regular production line, it'll always be around until we get sick of making them

Good question but I don't have the answer. I always thought a big part of the sound he had was due to the light gauge strings on a les paul. It's heavy but still has a thin strat like quality to it.

There's a video on YouTube where Jimmy talks about his Les Paul having a push-pull pot that switches the neck pickup out of phase. If he had that at the time, it might also be partly responsible for the sound he got.

I was holding off on saying anything about it until i really knew what I wanted to say but It's got nuthin' to do with the green amp. When i first started working on the Monarch I mentioned that it was a mix of plexi/bassman/orange and it really ended up with more of the orange flavor. This is the more marshall/cranked bassman type sound but it's a little bit more. It's an attempt to get the sound heard on how the west was won and several other zeppelin bootlegs. Not totally over the top distorted yet not too clean with a healthy mid range that's still full and lively with the low end. An "Amp on a record in a box" It's also transistor based which is a little unorthodox. Gives it a little more of a vintage feel I think. Works best at 18v but still sound cool at 9v. Should be going out at the end of this week or early next week. Because I like the challenge, the first 125 are done ye olde fashioned way with ivy green spray paint and waterslide decals, the rest will be powder coated (color undecided) and screen printed. $145.00 is the price.

will the green ones only be available direct from you, or will they go to the dealers as well?

[echobaseone]

Based on THAT^
