1975 mxr script logo phase 90. I can't wait hooking this baby to my 12-series (yes, I have 2 of those yummies now, 12267 and 12257... ) amps!

shwing!

How does your new 12 series vary from the spec of your first one?

I'll be back on that one in about a week. I haven't seen it in person yet. But since it's only 10 numbers away the other amp my guess is that it's identical and from a batch of 10-20 amps going out to Sweden at the same time.

So there should be about 18 12000-series you have´nt bought yet ? In country with 8 million people that should´nt be too hard...

How do you know this ?

It's just a guess, really... since I already had 12267 and 12257 showed up. That amp was manufactured for the swedish market just as mine was. My guess is that a batch of those amps arrived here at the same time. I know there are a few other amps floating around and they could well be in that range of serial nos.

Who imported those to Sweden ? In DK it was Brdr. Jorgensen. They may have records...

I've no idea... would be nice to know, wouldn't it?

i'll be in the club very shortly, just snagged a 74 script 'bud box' yesterday. true bypassed and led inserted, 133 quid to my door.

quid=£? Tha't about the same I paid for mine, although mine is all original.

Had a go with the phaser today and it sounds really COOL. I kinda wonder why I never got one of those earlier... I've never owned one before, though I've had plenty of bandmates using them. Being a purist ain't always the best way to go it seems.

Hehe, I'm actually using 4 pedals now, that's 2 more than ever before!

I like my phase 90 my wife bought me for my birthday. The only thing I wish you could do with it was control the depth as well as speed of the sweep. But then it wouldn't be a Phase 90 would it? The best phase I have ever heard was on my first all tube amp. A Peavey Mace, the amp sounded like poo but the phase was a very cool toy to play with.

Yeah but those Peavey Mace's dimed do the Lynard Skynard thing swamp tone perfectly. A very unique amp...Freaking loud though...If I remember correctly...8 power tubes...I forget how many watts...but it must be in excess of 200 watts..

IIRC it was something in the area of 180-240 watts running into 2- 12's. It did sound heavy as hell with a Boss super distortion/feedbacker in the front of it then using the second speaker jack on the back of the amp to plug into a Traynor 2x15 bass cabinet.

Me and ABR-1 did an a/b test with my script and his early block logo and they sounded alot the same on low guitar vol. When i dimed the guitar the block logo pedal sounded mushy and undefined.
