I think some of the guitar synths allow you to install a pickup on any guitar and control the synth unit

I love all these treasures you find in the Closets of lost gold! I have a Porta Studio MKIV 4-track that uses cassettes from at least 20 years ago. Analog with digital controls! The best of both worlds.

Those BOSS pedals never die.

Hey Zimm - you always say "I always have **random part** in the shop". Let's see the whole shop! And thanks, I spend hours just chilling watching you fix guitars (that's why I'm a patreon).

Thank you!!

Some awesome finds,seeing the old tascam four track,takes me back,i might still have it in the loft,and definitely some metal overdrive pedals.

Looking forward to hearing that Fender amp, hope it’s not too difficult of a fix. Still dig that firewood acoustic lol.

Wow! You are first person that I ever heard that sounds similar to "Joe Walsh" when you talk.

That Maestro foot switch you have there was a footswitch controller for the Maestro PS1-A phase shifter. It permitted the user to control the three speeds of the phase shifter for fast, medium and slow. When switching from fast to slow the speed of the effect slowed down gradually which sounded a little bit like a Leslie speaker being slowed down. The PS1-A was a very popular effects devise back in the day. The PS1 phase shifter is still available on the used market today and is fairly common but ridiculously over-priced at around $500 IMO. That footswitch that you have is pretty rare though. It was specifically made for the PS1-A. You don't see very many of those around.

This was great! I felt like i was going through boxes in my basement. Fun CITY!

5:04 Zimm all you need is a gk3 equipped guitar and the gk3 pup is easy and non destructive to install on any guitar.... pretty cheap too readily available at sweetwater

Those tascam cassette recorders are fun to record on if you can get tapes. Has a certain sound. Nostalgia

Rocking the dollar store ac delco batteries

Some interesting pieces in there.

Roland works with roland guitars or any guitar with a roland GK-2 or GK-3 pickup mounted on it, which is what most people do. Actually probably wouldnt work with an old roland guitar synth guitar, since those were a whole different type of analog voltage control triggering. But in the 90s fender and roland partnered on a GK equipped strat. The first synth to use that system iirc was the rack mount gr-50 followed by the big GR-1 floorboard synth, which I had, then they came out with the cheaper GR-09. The GR-30 was later

@@terryenglish7132 no they won't. It will only pass through the guitar signal to the guitar outputs, you cannot trigger any of the synth sounds without a GK hex pickup

@@terryenglish7132 yes they are just 6 magnetic pickups but they are not processed as audio, they are for pitch detection which is what triggers the internal synth sounds. They use a funky 13 or thereabouts pin cable that also sends the guitar pickups along with them to be routed to your amp via guitar out jacks, you need a separate amp or PA input for the synth sounds. This was middle school (old school being the old analog guitar synths). New school technology can trigger simply from a normal guitar. I don't know what you have, but if it does not have that multi pin cable input for a GK system, it is just a new school synth, not the old GR series guitar synthesizer

The Roland guitar synthesizer unit pairs with a Fender Strat that has a built in Roland pickup and corresponding plug jack. I would be interested in it because I had one of these Strats and gave it to my nephew who is getting quite good. PS I’m on Reverb etc. cheers!

Great to hear all the. Petals pedals

You killed me with the tascam , the ideal replacement to my dead fostex 'x26 .

Very cool! Those vintage pedals definitely gives us GAS!

That's what I started writing songs on. Haven't seen one of those in ears looks pretty clean

the gr-30 should be compatible with the roland gk-3 or gk-2 pickup

🤟😁👍That 60s Bandmaster is killer.

I had the Tri OD pedal at one time.

I used to have a Tascam Porta 5 in like 1989. Did you do anything with the Fender Lace Sensor pickups?

Were you able to get the Yamaha acoustic back to playing shape?

hopefully you can get that ibanez fat cat pedal up and running. great pedals, regret getting rid of mine.

Great vids!!!!

Nice work !!

Alsis adapter is for an Alesis Quadraverb

I’d rather have that old Japanese flat top than just about any beginner or mid to lower level guitars. I’d just about guarantee that it would make you throw rocks at anything new under 1000 dollars. Seriously it’s a cool old guitar. Crazy when I started playing back in the 90s you couldn’t give them old Ibanez pedals away unless it was a tube screamer. Also I wonder if that tech21 OD is just the pre amp of the DI it could be cool in the loop or the front end. I’ve got a beringer clone of the tech21 sans amp and it’s like it has cab sims on it and I can’t get a sound out of it in the loop or into the power amp. It would be cool to be able to have fender cleans and Marshall lead tone in a pedal like that. I’m sure there’s other pedals that do that now but something is cool about that old Tech21 stuff.

Steve O's voice on the corpse of a California 80's teen. 😂😂😂😂laugh with me bro. Love your show!

Do you have a reverb store? I'd buy that Hendrix sticker

cool stuff.

What is the guitar next to the Marshall cabinet?

Dude! Where are you finding these lockers?

Cool stuff.👍

4:48 DOES LOOK LIKE A POWER SUPPLY FOR A MIXING BOARD

Dude, I have that shirt... Guy tried to buy it off my at a gtg in Wis. couple years ago...

Zimm how much do you want for that Tascam ministudio? I’ve got one that’s beyond repair and would love to get another.

Never use contact cleaner when electronics are on! you can create a short or even get shocked.

You don't need the roland guitar.just the pickup

This guy liked to take stuff apart better than he liked to put stuff together. Most of that stuff needs listed on ebay.

Sure my guitar teacher had a roland guitar synth, didnt need a guitar just a special pickup?

There are some people who pay good money for just the boxes.
