OK, they've relisted. I know of at least two people on this forum that should be all over this....the dollar being strong in all makes it all the better. Shit, if no one else will, I might just....three of them in line could be very exciting. Erotic even.

Again, this isn't one of mine...just some random eBay listing but with those special little words "International Shipping".

Genuine question; what's so fabulous about these?

Does the fact that I have half a dozen of them and I'm trying to establish a fanboi base for future price gouging count?

Actually, the serious answer is that they have the most amazing Leslie style sound that keeps the gain structure in place. But they can also do wacko vintage phaser sounds too...but their real gob smacker is the faux Leslie/phase/trem hybrid sound. Hard to describe but the cork sniffer in me says words like musical, inspired, touch sensitive, retains tonal integrity, responds when you dig in etc etc.

Much sound wankery to be had with these pedals.

A value add is the fact they are built from an amazing extruded alloy section...of large proportions!

Is there a current made pedal that comes close or would even then would the cost exceed the ebay pricing? There are 3 on ebay at the mo... I saw a minty one go by around 180 but it wasnt something I thought I would have any use for ....

Well, I haven't heard any. Doesn't mean they don't exist. rocklander said he'd found a circuit that was similar but I never heard it.

The gain thing is a real important part of the picture with these. You really must come to the fest...try it then!
