– For your consideration is this vintage 1975 Maestro PS-1B Phase Shifter electric guitar effects pedal.
– This very nice all original example, serial number 21145, is in perfect working order.
– The PS-1B is most certainly the better of the Oberheim designed Phase Shifter models, as it has the Variable Speed control which was not part of the PS-1A circuit.
– It was previously owned and used by Indigo Ranch studio where it had resided for decades. The word “INDIGO” is written on both the front and bottom of the enclosure in White Out. Reference below for a brief history on Indigo Ranch.
– It remains completely original and intact, including; all knobs, rocker switches, and the 2-prong AC cable.
– Indigo Ranch, nestled on 60-acres in the hills of Malibu, California, operated from 1974 until 2006, under the guidance and obsessions of Richard Kaplan. Clients took advantage of his meticulously built studio, hundreds of effects pedals, 400 guitar amps, and rare Aengus console. Artists as diverse as Neil Young, Neil Diamond, Olivia Newton John, Jeff Lorber, Korn, Sepultura, and Limp Bizkit all made albums at Indigo Ranch. Vice published an article on how Indigo became the “improbable birthplace of Nu-Metal,” and Tape-Op Magazine interviewed Richard Kaplan, Ross Robinson, and others about the numerous important albums made at Indigo Ranch over the many decades it actively changed the landscape of both music and culture.
