1978 Volz Compressor Vintage Effects Pedal – Extremely Rare OEM LocoBox CM-01 The Choker FX Unit, MIJ Stompbox Made in Japan

– For your consideration is this vintage 1978 Volz Compressor effects pedal.
– Internally identical to the elusive LOCO BOX CM-01 compressor, the Volz version is far more scarce in comparison.
– Effectsfreak site explains, “This is the rarest of the rare — a Volz Compressor pedal made in the late 70s I believe. This pedal is EXACTLY the same as the Locobox Choker compressor pedal. The company that made Loco Box also made Volz and Electra pedals and the only difference in any of them was the paint design on the outside. The Volz pedals are just ridiculously rare. I know this because I am the guy who runs the Locobox pedal website. From all the info I have been able to find, these Volz pedals are the hardest by far to get your hands on. I have only seen one other Volz Compressor, and it was only a photo of the pedal. I have seen only three other Volz pedals for sale in the last nine years and they were a chorus pedal and two phasers.”
– The above comments are reaffirmed by the fact that it has been over FIVE years since one sold online… and it was this exact same pedal which sold on Reverb.
– Very rare, very good sounding: similar to a mid-’70s gray Ross Compressor in both design and sound.
– All photos are of the actual pedal.
