Vintage Early 1970s Shin-Ei ME-7 Multi-Effect Pedal – Wah, Siren, Surf & Hurricane Sounds – Rare & Fully Functional

Up for sale is an original early 1970s Shin-Ei ME-7, a wonderfully strange and highly collectible effects pedal from the golden age of Japanese effects manufacturing.

If you're familiar with vintage Shin-Ei gear, you already know these pedals were anything but ordinary. The ME-7 combines several unique sound effects into one unit, making it a favorite among collectors, experimental musicians, surf players, and anyone looking for sounds you simply won't find in a modern pedal.

Condition:

• Good working condition
• All major functions operating as intended
• Original vintage unit

Features:

🎸 Reverse-Action Wah Effect
Unlike most wah pedals, the ME-7 works in reverse:

• Heel down (toe up) produces a brighter, treble-heavy tone
• Toe down produces a darker, bassier tone

🌊 Surf & Hurricane Sound Effects
One of the pedal's most unique features is its ability to generate atmospheric sound effects that simulate:

• Ocean surf
• Hurricane/wind sounds

These effects are incredibly fun and surprisingly useful for surf instrumentals, soundtrack work, experimental music, and live performance.

🚨 Built-In Siren Effect
The top-mounted button activates a siren effect, complete with its own volume control.

🔊 Additional Controls

• Siren volume control
• Surf/Hurricane effect volume control
• Volume pedal functionality (note: volume does not fully mute when backed off)

Why It's Cool:
Shin-Ei pedals have developed a cult following thanks to their unique designs and unmistakable sounds. The ME-7 is one of the company's more unusual creations and remains much harder to find than typical vintage wahs or fuzz pedals.

Whether you're a collector of vintage Japanese effects, a surf guitarist, a soundtrack composer, or simply someone who appreciates wonderfully weird gear, the ME-7 delivers sounds that are impossible to duplicate with conventional pedals.

Please review all photos carefully and feel free to contact me with any questions. The pedal will be packed securely and shipped promptly.

A rare and quirky piece of vintage Japanese effects history—part wah pedal, part sound-effects machine, and completely unlike anything being made today.
