various mice, guitar pedals FT

[p_mcmanis]

Ok first of all the mice I have to trade:

1. LNIB razer copperhead

I got this one as an rma from razer, so I plugged it in to test if it was working.

2. LNIB razer deathadder

This one was purchased new, again, tested to make sure it works.

3. Used old microsoft intellimouse explorer 3.0

This one isnt in the greatest cosmetic shape, has some discolouration of the plastic. However, it works perfectly and there is no double registration of the buttons. Again, this is the OLD STYLE 3.0, these are incredibly rare and sought after, especially for quake players.

Ok now I have two guitar pedals for trade:

1. Lightly used Electro Harmonix English Muff'n

Tube overdrive. I used to use this pedal, but then I bought a marshall tube amp so I really have no need for it. I never stomped it; I always used my hands for this one. Never gigged, but not unused. True bypass, tubes are in good working order, comes with a/c adapater. The box got messed up, so I cant in good concious say that I have it, and it cant be shipped in it. If you must have it, is was cut nearly in half by my sister who likes to play with boxes, but it can be arranged.

2. Used Dunlop JH-1 Jimi Hendrix Wah

Perfect condition except for the protective plastic on the bottom (its that thin stuff like they put on your phone's screen) and a little use on the pedal top itself.

And here is what I would like to trade for:

I greatly prefer plain edge, but if you have something on the big wants list thats partially serrated, I will strongly consider it. Used is fine, but please describe condition and be ready to provide a photograph.

big wants (guitar pedals) in no order at all:
benchmade 615 mini rukus
orange spyderco military
user sebenza or sng/pt (for both pedals, cash possible depending on what you have)
keeley ts9 (not the baked one) or a ts808 reissue
zero tolerance 302/301/300 (would consider both pedals if brand new)
rat rc-3
emerson mini commander

big wants (mice) in descending order:
mini griptilian drop point w/ thumb stud(in blue, black or yellow handle) in 154cm
orange full sized griptilian
endura 4

will consider in descending order for either pedal:
benchmade 913
spyderco military in black or camo
zero tolerance 350
benchmade 710
spyderco paramilitary
benchmade 520
benchmade 525

will consider for mice:
full sized drop point griptilian
fallkniven u2

my email is pmcmanis@memphis.edu





these are quite big so I hope they give some insight on to what Ive got here, if you still need pictures of something let me know.

EDIT: I also have a handful of rare books that I might consider trading. I have a 1966 copy of "In Cold Blood" (which like all first editions were marked Copyright, 1965) that is in pretty good condition. I also have a vg condition copy of "Roots" which is also a first edition. If you want me to part with either of these you will need to email me with an offer. I will supply pictures at that point of anything you might like to see.

If you could compare the Hendrix Wah with Dunlop's standard Crybaby Wah-Wah, how would you compare it in range and depth of tone, etc.? Thanks.

well its not that different than the standard one. Its got more depth and has a stronger wah effect but its over a shorter range. I twisted the potentieometer inside about 1/4th of a turn and that that improved the range but there is still a dead zone at the start of the sweep where there is a dramatic decrease in volume (which could be fixed by twisting the pot a little more). This is part of the design of the pedal and Im not sure exactly what you would use it for, it gives a fuzzy, low-mid-rangey, wahhy sound so if your head is like 100 watts or something it would probably sound pretty good, but with my 1974x I dont have that kind of volume.

What I can say about it is that you get a better, deeper wah tone, and the reduced sweep means you dont have to work as hard to get that rocking tone that hendrix loved, but the price is decreased sensitivity if you want to set it in one place ala clapton.

It is not a modern wah sound in the slightest.

While Im at it; the english muff'n is apparently a 1959SLP plexi preamp, the only difference is the gain is cascading accross the tubes. I havent seen any schematics to confirm, but it does have a 3 band eq. I forgot about getting those pictures because I had stuff to do today, but Im on it right now.
