that's the ondioline

This again puts music history in a somewhat weird perspective. Many great hits are mainly the first use of a new device (for example an effect pedal) or 'instrument'. The hardware (a new sound) seems to be more important than composing skills. Not meant ot be bitter about. Just an observation.

You can sell leaky caps (especially Bumblebees) to guitarists who want to destroy their valve amps from the inside..! 👍👍

Jean-Jacques Perrey...!... :) .....He was techno, phychadelic, acid and electronic a *looong* way before any other...;) :) simply listen to his E.V.A. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mr6EerGQuNqRmKM.html recorded probably within the 60s, as he never done nay publishing by himself back in the days...he worked mainly for french TV scores and jingles and also was a promoteur for moog synths

lol not changing caps will not burn your house down. Enough scaremongering

I wanted to suggest the same thing. According to him these wax capacitors would need to go due to leakage current.

@@analogueavenue No, but expodind devices mainly due to leaky caps...are *not* an answer as well...trust me...i serviced about 100s of old tube radios and at least double digit count Tube operated PA and guitar Amps which had these inside...and i always tested a bunch of these caps after snipped them out....they all had turned into resistors with added capacitance...you can leave these little bastards in...but when your unit blows up, somday...don´t come saying it wasn´t the caps....you have been warned... see this, if you don´t trust me: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bJ19asmkx7K5eYk.html and this is what´s usually happens...: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rJ91mNFzrLregWg.html So you. have. been. warned. !

@@analogueavenue In this case it is. These are very old waxed paper capacitors. They WILL have failed.

@@analogueavenue if your whatever unit, is younger than 10 years...you may replace only the ones which failed and you´re good to go...but if you have a unit which is older than 40 years....you need to theck any cap (better even any component) anyway....no excuses here (i have seen ones which looked like new and they even tested with no problems on the usual ohm-tester, or any DMM...but i also ocassionally put these guys on my bench type HV-power supply and let them stay at 5mA and see how they peform..sometimes they reach 3/4 of their rated voltage and go short....if they do this in the original envoirement without any form/sort of current limiting...they go BOOOM, no. matter. what. So for me, old wax, tar sealed or wima, sprague, rifa (and the blue ones fender used in brown faces) type foil-caps in tube operated equipment are the ones to change... And also if you have old philips professional tube equip. change all resistors...i repeat...*all* resistors....if you have, let say an EL6435 140Watts PA tube amp which has 4 times 6/40N output tubes inside (which are about 80bucks per piece) and the grid resistor conected to the negative bias, went/or goes open (in the future) and you haven´t replaced it...you need to buy four of these tubes now to operate the Amp again after replacing a resistor which is about 3 bucks worst case ( when using a one watt metal-oxide type) These original resistors had been made real nice, carefully sealed with a thick coating of durable plastic type laquer, but plastic shrinks over time, even the most best type does this...and cracks ( that´s why all old wima have to go...cracked coatings, i haven´t seen even one looked all new, tested good) typical failure region is the place where the connection hat and the resistor base is connected, using hi-pressure and heat, together....usually you also can´t see this...but the shrinking process creates a force on that connection and one of those materials gonna give up...and you´re loosing the needed reliable contact... I´ve done serveral postings on my INSTA showing caps, resistors, connectors and stuff for which i found at least no reason for it to be unchanged due to their state/condition and known failure modes... I don´t want the need to dig into an allready restored unit again....i mean not repaired...restored, just because i left some original, and known to fail component inside, because i was too lazy at that day....no way.... I go even further...in that EL6435 they used three times stacked (wired in series) silicon diodes, simply because there weren´t types with a higher reverse voltage rating available...they tried to minimise spread with added paralleled resistors...but this is one of the main unit failure mode...if one of these diodes goes bad, it usually shorts,...this will cause more voltage to the other both still in series...they overheat and short as well...during one full sine wave cycle the whole rectifier is shorted and usually the filter caps will explode...i´ve seen this mess so many times and cleaned it up as well, that i change the whole..the same is the negative bias power supply...three times stacked switches, open frame with copper plated contacts...i replace that, once clever made, circuitry with a well filtered active MosFet controlled indiviual regulated supply, makes the amp far less noisy and also rock solid reliable...the times when you could buy a new set of output tubes via one of philips local repair centers are long gone....usually you come cross one may be two good tubes per year if you put an automatic inform-email search via ebay...the usual tube suppliers go: "6 dash 40"... what??! Again: you can do whatever you want, even reform old exotic electrolytic caps over weeks, but for me...no, old Caps, electrolytics and usually even resistors (all these hyped AB, siemens and other) of carbon type: have. to . go. period. ...i don´t want these in my restored units, not repaired...restored units.

Mr Carlson's lab is awesome.

Thanks Gareth that sounds like an interesting effect pedal. I will go and have a look.

John Lennon rolled an orange around the keyboard, so the story goes. I've done it with mine and it sounds right!

Hi I really have not had the chance to play with the akai force just yet but hopefully I may try and do something with it in a future video as long as i can understand it.

Hi yes I agree they must be changed though I did not have enough replacements in stock to get started. time to make the shopping list, it’s worth saving.

@@markusfuller of course it´s worth it....:)

Hello I do not know how to put text back onto the buttons. sorry,

Even older than that is the Ondes Martinot. Check that one out. Very peculiar. You've probably have already heard it if you watched the first Ghostbusters, most notably the library scenes
