Microscopics’ Mat Jarvis shares a collection of extreme close up vintage gear porn of the Roland AP-2 Phase II, a superb phaser from the 70’s that is used on a lot of classic recordings.
Unfortunately, it came with some vintage kinks:
I decided to treat myself for my birthday (Friday 26th) and bought a vintage phaser from eBay to add to my SX-150 in the Gas / High Skies studio. Of course the combination of the Post Office and being from 1975 killed it on arrival, but when it does make noise, it makes gloriously vintage noise.
I’ve had similar experiences with the post office with a Sequential Circuits Six Trak and a Kurzweill K-2500. Fortunately, both are now making “gloriously vintage noise.”
Got any “gloriously vintage noise” experiences of your own?

Great pedal, I have the AP-7 Jet.
Great musician too – Mat Jarvis (Gas 0095) is in this months Future Music mag, classic albums series. Very interesting interview!
