1980 BOSS OD-1 - sweet and nice with the seminal silver thumb screw...
The elusive JRC 4558D chip which is inherent in all great OD pedals of the 70s and 80s... included in this one as well...
My great 1983 Ibanez TS-9 midrange booster. Fattens up single coil sounds to nice thick and throaty tones of often talked and admired vintage tube amplifiers. Every guitarist worth his salt should own one from this vintage.
With the elusive chip yet again :-)
Three cheers for the newly wedded man! Our buddy Chris Blur recently got hitched and we were there at the Federal Hotel KL to celebrate his big day. From left to right: Victor ' Bukit MF ' Tan, framus 'Thamby' himself, and the notorious yet fun, Rizal 'I'm an Indian Boy' Ross. The highlight of the event was of course the 'keng chao' sessions where each one of us pitted against the other in the traditional test of who'd be able to withstand / sustain the excessive alcohol consumption... Within minutes, red wines were discarded like failed commodities and replaced with the good ol' Hennessy brandy. Most felt the wine was tad dry... Soon, glasses clinged, with cokes as mixers, and the occassional Chinese tea pouring in to provide camouflage for unseasoned drinkers on our table.... Even though I faced respiratory problems with alcohol in my system, I downed at least 3 glasses of Hennessy Coke that night, and got away mostly with blushed skin only... how lucky... The rest were getting rowdier as the night rode on, some challenging their adversaries to drink and drink further... The finale was a cocktail test in which everyone's filled glasses were poured into an ice bucket. Agitated carefully, the drinks were then equally divided and everyone consumed them without much complain.. talk about being fair... ha ha. All in all, an enjoyable evening out.... Cheers!
