And ambitious/greedy ebayers have been asking too much for collectible vintage/boutique pedals for years too. |

It's useless without a volume control anyway.

When you can clone it with origional parts for pennies on the dollar...it just doesnt make sence.
I'd rather spend that kind of money on a date with gina gershon or lunch with Blagojevich 
Dint think I could spell it did ya?

A couple of fools on ebay were selling clones for a crapload of money...FOR A CLONE! Silly. |

Great unit. Easily my fave distortion for bass.
Who's building these?
