Shin-Ei Mute Box MB-27 1960s-'70s serviced: If it quacks like a duck...
Our users rate Reverb
The Mute Box adds character and joy to your playing, filtering your tone with a new envelope that accentuates certain frequencies. It’s like a wah effect that dances on every pluck of your guitar or bass, subtly bending your sound, or prominently quacking and laughing as you strike. It’s a vintage competitor—and a similar (identical?) circuit—to the Mutron III and deserves just as much esteem today. If it walks like a Mutron III and quacks like a Mutron III...
This Mute Box has been serviced and is in excellent condition. Physically, it has minor and moderate scratches and scuffs, as pictured. Internally, some wiring has been repaired/replaced, including a battery tab. A new output jack has been installed. All the pots have been cleaned inside. The Range and Drive switches have been replaced, and the original case has been slightly modified to fit their bigger shapes.
Functionally, everything works properly and sounds wonderful. All controls and switches are in great shape. Check out the attached video to see some of the capabilities of this amazing classic.
