With one day to go on this auction, there is an Ibanez Prime Dual Chorus Effects Pedal going for under $20US! Made during the late 80’s, the Prime Dual Chorus is a highly configurable stomp box perfect for rocking out. It also functions as a flanger, with a bit more of a metallic sound than its’ predecessor??? the Ibanez FL-9 flanger. Its a great price for a cracking pedal like this:

You can check out the Ibanez Prime Dual Chorus Effects Pedal auction here to see how high it will (or wont!) go.

The manual for the Ibanez Prime Dual Chorus has this to say:

Features

So, you have been out looking at stereo choruses and flangers and you like the unique quality that each one gives to your instrument, but you are not yet ready to buy two separate pedals. Well, look no farther. For just about the price of either you can have both in the new Ibanez PC10. The PC10 has two completely seperate modulation sections that can be accessed by either the top mounted A/B switch or by plugging in an optional footswitch. In the “A” mode, depressing the unit’s footswitch will give you effect “A” or dry. In the “B” mode, depressing the unit’s footswitch will give you effect “B” or dry. In the A/B mode, depressing the unit’s footswitch will give you effect A or effect B alternately. In addition there is a stereo output jack that when accessed by a 1/4″ stereo plug gives you both normal and inverted effect outputs enabling you to play in true stereo.

Use

Like the TC10, the PC10 is a chorus with 2 modulators (or L.F.O.’s). The same dual chorusing is available with mnay new variations because one of the modulators can also create flanging effects by decreasing delay time and increasing intensity. These are some of the most lush sounds available through processing. Set the flanger intensity on modulator B to “0″ and delay time to “2″ to create identical function of both modulators (like the TC10). Of course different speeds and widths on A and B give best results.

By using the footswitch “toggle” feature described previously, 2 presets can be used for convenience in live performance. Two different chorus sounds or a chorus and flanger are available instantly.

Coupled with a decent fuzz pedal, the Ibanez WH-10 Wah effects pedal is one of the more highly regarded wah pedals to come out of Japan. Can be mellow or grindy, great for overtones. Clean it’s lovely, with distortion it’s nasty!

Manufactured by Maxon. On the down side it has a plastic body and the construction is poorly thought out (so it is difficult to get inside to work on). This pedal also suffers from needing something like Boss’ Line Selector (LS-2) to deal with white noise being somewhat of a problem on higher gain settings.

There is one up for sale on Yahoo auction. You can check it out here. It is a black version so it isn’t cheap - it is going for almost 60,000 yen!
