Not the NotRite Fuzz Pedal by Wilson Effects is a Fuzzrite clone of the NotRite Fuzz.

Underwent a circuit change when the enclosure was used as a prototype for a new fuzz circuit that ended up on a rather famous players board.
This is a 4 transistor fuzz circuit that is glitchy, gated, velcroey, loves to be pushed and also loves to push.
When the player stops playing it isdead silent unless you tap your strings of course.
It reacts differently depending on the type of pick-up you are using as well.
Use either a high quality Alkaline 9vdc battery or 2.1mm center negative regulated power supply to power your pedal.
Due to this being Fuzz circuit being close to certain styles of power supplies may cause interference.
When powering via battery be sure to always unplug the input of the pedal to insure a long battery life.

Specs:

• Level: Controls the amount of output the pedal has.
• Depth: Controls the overall intensity of the Fuzz.
• In: Instrument input.
• Out: To amplifier.
• 9VDC: 2.1mm center negative power supply jack.
• Fuzz: On/Off True Bypass switch

The 80ties Vintage CH-10M Chorus Pedal by Yamaha made in Japan.

Built in Japan in the early/mid‑1980s (circa around 1984).
Part of Yamaha's "Sound Device" - Series, noted for neat soldering, clean internal layout, and solid construction.
Rugged metal housing and a metal battery compartment lid (accessible with a coin) reflect Yamaha's durable build quality.
Features just two control knobs: Speed (controls modulation rate) and Depth (controls modulation intensity).
Uses a standard analog BBD (bucket-brigade delay) circuit design , no frills, but effective.
Equipped with two outputs: a main (mono) output and a “Direct Out” for stereo use , excellent for rich, wide chorus textures.
Known for smooth, mellow, and clean chorus tones.
With Depth turned high, it can shift from subtle modulation to a full-on, swirling “Leslie‑like” effect.
Described it as “smooth and quiet, thick, pure, and organic,” with very usable range from light chorus to pronounced modulation.

Specs:

• Year / Origin 80s, Made in Japan
• Controls Speed (rate), Depth (intensity)
• Circuit Analog BBD
• Outputs Mono out + Direct (stereo) out
• Power 9 V battery or external 9 V DC (center negative)
