CONCH SHELL

A true curiousity music piece to be sure. Blow in to the carved opening to make a bellowing sound. What? I hear nothing! A sputtering whimper of escaping air is the only sound. Never got the hang of this one. To eBay and beyond!

Ah. The ever graceful Gene Simmons in his 10 inch platforms. I guess it is fitting that he kick off this R&R Arseholes feature as he did put out a solo album, "***hole".

Univox Uni-Tron 5 Envelope Follower Pedal

The Univox Uni-Tron 5 is an envelope follower guitar effects pedal.  Not a very compact design.  Since this was an older pedal and utilized old school electronics construction, it measured about 10 inches long by 6 inches wide and had a sheet metal housing!  The pedal produced wah-wah like sounds.  It sounded pretty cool filtering a bass guitar.  I do remember it being a very noisy pedal.  A lot of hum accompanied your output which had to be addressed.
