1980s Peterson Bottom Line Pedal

"1984 Peterson Bottom Line bass synth pedal. Similar idea to something like a Moog Taurus, but with less control. There are 3 levels of decay, on/off for attack, and sliders for volume, sustain and voicing. On the back is a fine tune adjustment and there is an internal coarse adjustment. It all folds up into a slick little road case. I currently have 2 - this one has a lower serial number but the cables seem to be a newer style (black instead of gray) so they may have been replaced. The other one works fine but the tolex is in rough shape. According to Peterson's website, these were manufactured starting in the mid 70s. The 1984 date is an educated guess based on similar serial numbers produced that year."
