Tychobrahe Parapedal copies???

[Sune]

Does anyone know where it's possible to get a copy of a Tychobrahe Parapedal, which was discontinued many years ago?

I knew that Tony Iommi uses it, and I decided to read a bit about it, and it seems like it's quite legendary. It's an old wah with some little extra effects, you can read about it here: http://guitargeek.com/gearview/235/

It would be cool to own a original, but I bet they are pretty expensive, and the site says that someone makes copies of them, and I thought that some of you might know who.

Chicago Iron Works, ask Screaming Daisy about his. I am interested in one of these too.

Good pedal, but expensive.

It's a very open sounding wah....not as choked or biting as some. I found that it's worked better with an EL34 amp than with a 6L6 amp.....I'm guessing it's due to the EL34's being compressed more. With 6L6s it's extreme sweep was exagerated, but the EL34s seem to jive better and made the whole sweep more musical.

Sounds just like the guitar work on Sabbath's Electric Funeral, and the bass work on NIB.
