EKO - Multitone + EKO Crescendo volume pedal

Strepitoso: Wah Wah Treble/Bass Booster: Tone Shaper Distortion: '60s Sounding Fuzz Repeat Percussion: Unique Sounding Tremolo

"

Apparently it's the firt multi-effect ever. It has Wah (called Strepitoso in italian), Treble/Bass Booster, Distortion and Repeat (percussion tremolo). So I traced the 4 different circuits, you can find attached the schematics and some pics. FS33805 are npn BJT with 1:C 2:B 3:E pinout. I tested one and hfe was 216. BC208 is apparently an equivalent and if i'm not mistaken 2n3904 could do the job. 4JD5E44 is a UJT (maybe equivalent to 2n2646 ?)"

After:

There is something so deeply satisfying about a simple repair done in multi tone thread.

I wish it were my hat but I am happy for the owner.

“ Wha-Wha - Distortion - Treble-Bass Booster - Repeat Percussion - Volume Control. All these effects in one pedal. Play it for a single wha-wha or distortion effect, or in combination with other effects and you will discover a new world of exciting sounds. (1973 EKO catalogue) “

Several things:

- This is one of the ‘off brand’ players I own. This one was an import from Wisconsin.

- The main reason I bought this one is that the story behind how the company collapsed is kind of amazing.

- The best part of the story is, “Came out at trial that he’d robbed a grave at Lake Nebagamon Cemetery to get the bones.“

- If you haven’t got an idea as to what happened after that it includes the phrases “insurance fraud”, “extramarital affair”, obviously a little grave robbing, arson, and faking one’s own death only to be arrested years later when someone several states away recognised the apparent typewriter repairman as someone who had been legally declared dead a few years prior.

- That started in 1920, went to trial in 1923, and he was released from prison in 1926 and got married to the woman he’d faked his own death to run off and be with.

- I don’t know 95% of the music in the stack of records. This is just the one my mum grabbed and put on.

- This particular song was released in March of 1925.

If you can guess what it is, you’re better at this game than I am.
