Like the other kay pedals this one looks like a wah. it has a slide switch above the pedal to turn it on and off. The farther you sweep the pedal the more the bass increase.

instant vibe and mojo. it is something you can't really describe. it's like trying to describe the sound of a 55 stratotone or a magnatone vibrato. you can read about it all day long but you won't understand it untill you hear and once you do the sound stays with you forever.
It's not pristine it's spooky!
i have heard that this pedal was the secret to daniel lanois guitar tone on the slingblade soundtrack.

It's still working. somehow. I bought it "broken" at a pawn shop, but i just flipped the switch 9 or 10 times when i got home and it started working again. never had a problem since then.

This is the kay that went under in 1968.

This is a very special pedal. it is certainly the rarest of kays short lived pedal line. It's in my never sell box. Like i said i bought it broken for $5 years ago. One of my best scores.
