The 'legends' of Artec

This is the Artec Legend series. I haven't been keeping track on these stuffs nowadays so I'm not sure when it was released. 
The Legend series looks like the Artec versions of 'MXRs'. I bet it's about the same size. Nothing digital for the Legends. These Legends mostly consist of drive pedals (4 out of 6) and I wonder why aren't there more modulations instead. Echo Sweller delay and Harmony Blue chorus are the 2 non-drive pedals. And I also want to find out more about it. Artec pedals are relatively cheap compared to others and they are good as well. But so far, I only have one Artec in my arsenal.

Saving place: EQ + Tuner

If you are looking for a graphic equaliser and a pedal tuner and you have a very limited space on your board, maybe Artec SE-GEQ 8 band Graphic EQ might be a solution.
Or maybe not. A combination of the two pedals will indeed save some space. However, there are trade-offs as well. It only has a range of 10dB cut and boost. So it all depends on you. If you are looking for something of a larger range, it is better to invest on something else.

Artec Artec? (Episode 2)

What's inside the Artec box? It is just a simple vintage chorus.
This is not a new piece. I bought from a very friendly guy (who told me all the ESP scam). To be frank, I bought it quite rashly though. I only have the opportunity to try it once and liked it but it was months ago. I still remember an advice of using a vintage chorus to pair up with distortion pedals. Now, I am starting to learn why. The Danelectro milkshake chorus didn't go well with my Speedbox. At least this Artec is working well with it for now. =)

If you are looking for new Artec pedals, perhaps you can look for them at Ebenex.
