REPEAT PERCUSSION

The Vox (or later Jen) V809 Repeat Percussion was a distinctly different tremolo effect which was first produced some time in the mid 60s. It was originally a notoriously fragile little module that plugged directly into your amp input, which was then connected to your guitar. The unit was then built into some of the higher end Vox guitars such as the Starstream and Grand Prix. Later the circuit surfaced in a more conventional pedal (combined with the Vox Top Boost) format before wandering off into obscurity for nearly two decades. The original plug in modules now go for considerable sums, with the later pedal versions being even more scarce.
