The Malekko version is itself a clone.

[bongomania]

There are lots of Brassmaster clones out there. The Malekko is just one of the more expensive ones.

[Hutzbordello]

do they go for a lot?

[bongomania]

Here's an inexpensive one: http://www.moosapotamus.net/THINGS/brassmaster.htm
Here's another: http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/...2-brass-master

Black Cat Bass Octave Fuzz is also Brassmaster's clone, but it goes for $225.

There are at least two builders here who can probably build you GGG Brassmaster version cheaper.

I'm completely unsure if Bogdan is still building pedals, but he did have a Brassmaster clone as well. I think people around here dubbed it the "Pole Master" (as in Polish, because Bogdan is Polish... not something dirty you sickos! ) or something like that.

You are correct. I have a Bogdan Pole Master. I also have the Black Cat and the the Malekko. They all sound very similar, but Bogdan's was about $100 cheaper at the time I bought it. Jetofuj may know if he's still building pedals.

Bogdan is now building his clone for a company:

Interesting. Are they only being sold in the EU, or will we see them across the pond?
Also, has the price been increased/decreased/stayed the same?

[paganjack]

The GGG kit is pretty good and definitely cheap. It's kind of a tough build though.

The company is in fact small recording studio. So I guess there will be only small runs of these for local market, but who knows? I saw one for sale for around $185.

The most I can find on the Dirty Bastard is that the enclosure seems to be laser-inscribed.

All other search results just give me 'Ol Dirty Bastard, or sites that have to do with records of the flat vinyl variety.

Doesn't the Iron Ether Oxide cover the Assmaster territory, as well as much more?

[Hutzbordello]

[edwardbass]

Hey does anyone know where I can buy a Pole Master pedal or where i can contact Bogdan to order one? I listened to the demo clips & they're awesome. thanks!

I have a GGG BrassMaster that Karter2000 built and it is the bomb. I have compared it to several other clones and it came up favorably.
I really like the separate clean and distortion controls and the only thing lacking would be some sort of more comprehensive tone control to go with the "voice" switch. some units had a more pronounced octave up but in some cases it was overly strident.
