Guyatone PS-017 Distortion & Chorus Effect Pedal 1983 - Vintage Japan - Description

If you are a guitarist or bassist who values vintage tone and wants versatile sound shaping in your everyday playing, the Guyatone PS-017 Distortion & Chorus Effect Pedal from 1983 is a strong fit. It suits musicians who perform live, record at home, or experiment with textured sounds without switching pedals constantly.

This pedal combines two classic effects into one compact unit, making it practical for multitasking during rehearsals or gigs:

Distortion effect lets you add grit and sustain, shaping your riffs or solos with character that fits rock, blues, or punk styles.
Chorus effect provides rich modulation to thicken clean tones or add shimmer, great for atmospheric passages or layering sounds.
Made in Japan, the build quality reflects durable materials and craftsmanship common in vintage gear, so it stands up to regular use.
The pedal runs on a standard 9 V EU power supply included with the unit, keeping your setup straightforward.
Condition shows only few signs of use, purely cosmetic and with no effect on function, so you can rely on consistent performance.

Imagine plugging this pedal into your rig for a rehearsal. You switch between distortion to cut through the band mix and then dial in chorus for a lush ambient break — all without changing pedals. It streamlines your workflow and expands your tonal palette on stage or in the studio.

Q: Can I use the distortion and chorus effects simultaneously? A: Yes, you can blend both effects for unique sounds. The PS-017 allows you to layer distortion grit with chorus modulation to create complex textures.

Q: Is the pedal compatible with other power supplies? A: The unit comes with a 9 V EU power supply, which fits standard effect pedal requirements. Using a matching power source ensures stable operation.

Q: How noticeable are the cosmetic signs of use? A: The cosmetic wear is minor and does not impact how the pedal works. It reflects a well-cared-for vintage item rather than damage.

Choosing the Guyatone PS-017 Distortion & Chorus Effect Pedal means opting for a more sustainable choice by extending the life of quality vintage gear. It offers reliable performance with classic tones that fit diverse musical settings. The pedal comes with a warranty and return policy for your peace of mind.
