NPD! (vintage deal)

Post by ARC Effects »

Got a tip from a friend today that there was a nearby estate sale that had some gear up for grabs that he thought I should check out and ended up scoring this :

Image

MXR Distortion+ with original box. I'm fairly certain it's from the late 70's early 80's based on looks though I don't really have anything to back it up short of it being really old looking and not being a script version. I'm going to do some more digging to find out the true age of it though. The best part is that it works perfectly and I got it for the wallet busting price of $2! :eek: All I did was clean it up a bit and ditch all the crumbling foam that was both inside and out. I've dated the pots to be made in 1979.

I also ended up scoring a few legit original envelope filter PCB's which match the distortion+'s board exactly.

My eyes lit up when I saw the footswitch to a Proco R2DU but unfortunately the rack unit was already sold :cry: Either way I'm happy because I NEVER find deals like this locally (note my location :lol:).

That looks sweeter than hot doo on a baby bee's back.

How do people find out about estate sales? Craigslist? I want in on some of this action.

I have one of those from '82. It is a great pedal. You'll have some fun with it, I can guarantee that.

Great find. Great pedal too. That was my first distortion pedal.
