In the pipe, five by five: 'Glass-A' triode buffers! Note the shiny mil-spec button joints and spotlessly clean circuit board. #effectpedals #guitareffects #guitarfx

Oh-no! The old Sylvania factory is being demolished. The vacuum tubes used in the Effectrode PC-2A compressor, Fire Bottle & Blue Bottle boosters and Mercury fuzz came from this factory. End of an era. #effectspedals #guitarfx #guitareffects

The Tube-Vibe caught my eye, but then, at the bottom of the photo, I saw the Arion Flanger. When I was in my teens I built a pedal board with 5 Arion pedals on it: the Arion flanger, chorus, distortion, compressor and delay. Anyone else start out on Arions? #effectspedals #guitarfx #guitareffects
