AIM ANALOG IMPULSE MODIFIER / HARMONIC MODIFIER HM-1000 "UPDATE"

REALLY STRANGE BOX I SCORED FOR MY ADDICTION ER AH COLLECTION. I'M STILL HUNTING FOR MORE INFO ON THIS AIM HM-1000. VOLUME CONTROL WILL NOT TURN THE BOX DOWN ALL THE WAY, SEEMS TO ACT LIKE A VOLUME TONE CONTROL. THE ONLY OTHER CONTROL IS THE DISTORTION KNOB & IT GOES FROM THIN AND MUDDY IN A BAD WAY, TO A "BIG MUFF-ESK" VIBE WITH TON OF BOTTOM END.
TWO 9 VOLT BATTERIES TO POWER THE WEIRDNESS. THERE IS A WARBLE OR UP AND DOWN FLUCTUATION IN SOUND SORTA LIKE A PHASER OR CHORUS TYPE EFFECT. IT'S VERY SUBTLE BUT WHEN YOU LET NOTES RING OUT IT'S MORE PROMINENT. NOT VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN PLAYING CHORDS.
NO INFO ON THE INTERNET, NO CLUE WHAT YEAR IT WAS MADE. ONLY THAT IT'S A AIM "HM-1000", MANUFACTURED IN AMERICA BY DIGICOMP SYSTEMS INC.
NOT MUCH TO SEE, EVERYTHING IS HIDDEN IN A WHITE PLASTIC TIN AND FILLED WITH GOO!



Details from the seller:
 AIM analog impulse modifier / harmonic modifier distortion. This is a weird pedal. At low gain it's almost like an enhancer and as you turn it up it becomes more of a big muff tone but really there is no pedal i can compare it to. very unique. This is hand made pedal from the 80's. It takes 2 nine volt batteries. The circuit is sealed in epoxy probably to protect the design. 

IF ANYONE HAS MORE INFORMATION ON THIS PEDAL PLEASE CONTACT ME!
