ME-7 Multi-Effect
The Kimbara ME-7 Multi-Effect is a delightfully quirky time capsule from the golden age of experimental guitar effects. This rare 1970s pedal, originally manufactured by Japan's Shin-Ei, combines traditional tones with delightfully unorthodox sound-sculpting tools, making it a must-have for adventurous players. At its heart, the ME-7 delivers a reverse-wired wah circuit that sweeps from booming bass to sizzling treble as you rock the foot pedal - the opposite of a typical wah for a distinctive, envelope-shifting tone. But that's just the start of the fun. Flick the selector switch and you can summon up a churning, hurricane-like swell of white noise, or a shimmering surf effect that evokes crashing waves. And the dedicated siren function produces an eerie, rising-and-falling alarm that's perfect for adding tension and drama to your playing. With its hands-free, treadle-driven design, the ME-7 encourages you to get physical with your performance, seamlessly blending these wild effects to craft your own signature sounds. It's a time-traveling tone machine that bridges the gap between the experimental gear of the past and the forward-thinking players of today. If you're seeking a pedal that can inject some unpredictable, left-field magic into your rig, the Kimbara ME-7 is a must-try oddity that deserves a spot on your pedalboard.
