Hello,

I want to trade a vintage Ibanez Renometer no.95 in good condition (a slider is missing, as you can see in the picture...but it works perfectly) for a Way Huge Pork Loin or a couple of Ibanez Soundtank distorsions/fuzzes/overdrives.

For those who do not know, Renometer it's an EQ inductor-based with nice boost capabilities...more information you can find here: http://mirosol.kapsi.fi/2013/08/ibanez-no-95-renometer/

I am from Bucharest (Romania).

Thank you!
Radu

Almost forget the name but now that it has been mentioned, well I owned one of these a very long time ago.
Yes insane bright switch (hardly useable) but indeed unique, the EQ is also insanely powerful and may well
prove useful for those wishing to dramatically change the tone.

From distant memory it can easy get into feedback in boost mode but cut mode maybe a useful tool.
For those looking for something different this would be a good score. :thumbsup
Phil.

You're completly right, Phil!
And, moreover, it seems to have less noise than GE-7...

You say Less noise than GE7? :lol: Well those early GE7 pedals where horribilius noisy due to a completely pointless Pre-emphisis/De-emphisis addon which only achieved adding lots of hiss. :roll:
I believe the later units where better design but still not as gutsy as the Renometor.
BTY thanks for pointing to the links as I found the schematic,,
always wondered what was inside. :thumbsup
