1976 Maestro Phaser Model MP-1 Vintage Phase Shifter Electric Guitar Effects Pedal – MP1 Designed by Bob Moog For Norlin Gibson, From Indigo Ranch Studio (MP12285)

– For your consideration is this vintage 1976 Maestro MP-1 Phaser electric guitar effects pedal.
– This nice example, serial number MP12285, is in perfect working order.
– It was previously owned and used by Indigo Ranch studio where it had resided for decades. The word “INDIGO” is written on both the top of the enclosure twice. Reference below for a brief history on Indigo Ranch. A previous owner’s name is written on the bottom, as well as “ASIS” written on the side in grease pencil: which was likely why Richard Kaplan purchased it. Since it works fine, we’re assuming it was serviced or repaired by Kaplan prior to being integrated into the Indigo arsenal.
– It is missing the original battery cover.
– Indigo Ranch, nestled on 60-acres in the hills of Malibu, California, operated from 1974 until 2006, under the guidance and obsessions of Richard Kaplan. Clients took advantage of his meticulously built studio, hundreds of effects pedals, 400 guitar amps, and rare Aengus console. Artists as diverse as Neil Young, Neil Diamond, Olivia Newton John, Jeff Lorber, Korn, Sepultura, and Limp Bizkit all made albums at Indigo Ranch. Vice published an article on how Indigo became the “improbable birthplace of Nu-Metal,” and Tape-Op Magazine interviewed Richard Kaplan, Ross Robinson, and others about the numerous important albums made at Indigo Ranch over the many decades it actively changed the landscape of both music and culture.
