Russian Big Muff Pi: 
EHX Small Clone: 
Zoom 506 Bass: 
DOD FX 7: 
DOD Compressor/Sustainer

That's quite amazing. Congrats!
And I thought my guitar teacher was foolish having, at one time, sold 5 of his Boss pedals for Indian Rs. 1000 (around $22) only to replace them with a Zoom 707. He still doesn't think he made a mistake. People just don't value single pedals here

| | | | ahhh.... the zoom 506 was my first effects pedal ever. i still use it for practicing at home but the switches arent reliable anymore so i dont use it anywhere else, but it has my favorite flange setting ever, never been able to duplicate it exactly! |

| | | | Score indeed! Very cool that you knew there would be pedals there beforehand. I don't think you can get this lucky at random, at least not anymore.

I'm mystified at your big score, what a deal...
The prices remind me of those divorce sales, where the Ex-wife is trying to make a statement about her Ex's old gear.

|  | Chronic Knob Twiddling Tone Chaser | | Join Date: Feb 2011 Location: New England | | | Awesome find man! For $13, they can all suck and it'd be worth the price just to test em out! But yeah, sell em for lunch money if you don't like em.
That muff alone is well worth the price of admission!
