Details

I’m very on the fence about this one, as it is one of the coolest and definitely rarest pedals I have and I’m not likely to ever have the chance to own another. Recently I’ve been playing a lot cleaner, and while the clean tones of this pedal are fantastic (and a fully parametric midrange is some tone magic dust!), the grit was the reason I jumped on one of these as soon as I could and I’m just not making the most of it at the moment (and could use some $$ for a move in a couple weeks). May well change my mind tomorrow!

TB’er JohnK, master of bass overdrives, built just a few of these direct copies of the preamp section of the Peavey Centurion by request made in this thread in the search for that elusive early Faith No More bass tone: Someone should build a killer dirt pedal from this line of heads(Peavey MarkIII/MarkIV content)
Here is JohnK’s pedal page with supplemental details of the build: Centurion-Pedal--Peavey-preamp-in-a-box-

I would possibly flirt with some partial trades, like cool wave-folding fuzzes aka Prunes and Custard or Malekko Downer, or maybe an MBD-2 or newer 9V Rusty Box, or?

Looking for $375 shipped continental US or $360 local LA

Listened to the clips. Damn impressive and it cops that Billy Gould tone seemingly well when listening over phone speakers. The look is also phenomenal. This gives me GAS
Yeah it really nails his early rude crunchy tones to a “T”! I think I have come to my senses about listing it and am gonna pull it down for now. I always get this way with semi-expensive gear, but playing through it a bunch today I realized it would be an immediate regret- not gonna get anything else similar without buying one of the amps!


Sorry for the tease guys, gonna keep it for now!
