Welcome the the Gearwire Advice Hotline! In addition to telling us how and why he loves his Roland AP-7 Jet Phaser, Tony Fredianelli gives us his advice on where and how to buy vintage gear. Granted, he has more resources (not to mention talent) to play with than most of us, but you have to start somewhere.

Fredianelli didn't know what the Jet Phaser was until he heard "Who's That Lady" and got an itch to copy the sound. Now he has three!
