Three or four Fender "oil can" devices were located at the Chicago Store during TapeOpCon. Perhaps someone around here can weigh in on their experieence with the new purchase.

I think the oil is pretty dangerous... extremely carcinogenic or something, so I doubt you'll be able to get them serviced.

I was just looking at a rural property that had 2 huge silos and was thinking this same thing. One could be the big chamber and the other could be sectioned off into medium and small chambers. Mmm....kayagum wrote: What I'm waiting for is someone on this board to build a reverb chamber in a concrete grain silo on a farm....

I'm sort of a collector of all things Tel-Ray, which is the company which created the oil-can electrostatic delay.
I have a Super Ogan Tone which combines the fluttery lo-fi echo with a beautiful vibrato. All tube as well.
I love the sound of those things.

I was just recently given a Tel-Ray 1001 Ad-n-Echo. It's probably not working correctly, but it sure sounds great- spooky, out of tune, very off-kilter. It made the guitar we ran it through sound like it was in a fun house with angled walls. Makes me want to fix up the Vox one I've had sitting around for years.
Naturally there's a website for enthusiast of these things:

Seems to be down at the moment- maybe this thread has sparked a frenzy?
Here's how they work:
http://www.geofex.com/Article_Folders/o ... delays.htm
The rumour always was that the oil was carcinogenic PCB's etc., and it's unknown apparently. It looks as if the guys who run the main site have a supply of non-toxic oil, and are now fixing the things.
Here's the very safe and antiseptic Virtual Tel-Ray from Bomb Factory:

What I meant to say: they suck, and if you have one, you should sell it me for fifty bucks.
