Vintage black label model

Users of the PH-1 were happy with it's tone but thought it lacked the throbbing tremolo-style phase that other pedals could produce (due to the PH-1's low internal feedback setting)

Japanese made by the Fujigen factory in 2012

Refretting it also gave him a chance to give the fretboard a nice deep clean so it looks great with none of the gross sweat stains

It's got that beautifully played in feeling that's impossible to replicate
