Last Thursday somebody stole my pedal board and a guitar. The board had an old Sola Tonebender a Trem Face, Wah Face and Colursound OD and Memoryman rehoused to used knobs. All of the stuff is really old and I can get away with replacing most of it with modern copies. There are a couple of things that I can't do without and I am stupidly particular about them.
I need buy, beg, borrow ,steal some old electronic parts to reconstruct a NoName (I assume Sola) Tonebender and and a Colursound sustainer. If anybody knows how I can get some old Germanium transistors, real ones used or new. I would be really grateful. 20 years ago they were common parts in the UK. In school I built amps for my friends so I am pretty sure I can build the two pieces that might cost me thousands to replace.
Any advice from you tone gods, I am all ears.
Thanks for being the great group of folks you are.. I have been meaning to say theat for a while
Best
