Jaicen Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 $380!!!! That's insane, there are about $5 of parts in that thing. I could build one in about ten minutes. Which is probably longer than I'd ever use it for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 Just found this on amazon US, works out about the same price as over here. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004URQ94A/ref=redir_mdp_mobile Not bad, though they're selling them on ebay for nearly $100 more Are you familiar with their other pedals? this one in particular looks interesting http://www.raingerfx.com/compactotron%20c-2.html $380!!!! That's insane, there are about $5 of parts in that thing. I could build one in about ten minutes. Which is probably longer than I'd ever use it for. haha yeah, I'm not sure how often I'd use it to be honest! One of the pedals that seemed like a good idea at the time was the blowing up...not that it's a useless pedal, but it's not great as a "normal" boost and it tends to make things blowing up (well, not yet anyway) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LtcItrLa_c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to be able to build my own pedals but I just do t have the electronics know how. Also if it only takes you 10 minutes do you mind making me one?

Crowella Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Only $5 though. Cause that's all it costs, right? $5 doesn't even get me an enclosure. (well, maybe the 1590A's) Anyway, that red carbon looks ace. Also only just noticed where you keep the picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been building pedals for over 10 years, I know the money is not the intrinsic value but the time spent designing and putting it together. Given the small volume production, it's probably a 'reasonable' price. I just think it's a little cheeky given that it was John Hollis who put in the time to design it. That said, I still think it sounds vile and literally cannot think of a use for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't understand the outrageous prices some boutique makers put on their products. Anyway, bass on it's way shortly. Will get much better photos later. Fender MIM Precision.

james90 Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 I know, but the Neil signature carpet was really pricey. Do you realize how many boxes of lucky charms he wanted? Very many. I ended up getting this cheap imitation. And bobbles, I think I'll get a green screen instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
