I wouldn't pay more than 250 for one, but demand is a strange thing. I've been known to pay more than I should, doesn't happen much though.

Update:
octabvre mkii is so hard to beat.

Have you tried a 3? I think there's more tonal range, and sub headroom, but the mk2 always seemed smoother, and less dramatic, better for octave only for sure
When I had both, I couldn't really say there was a difference in the tone versatility between them, only that the MkIII seemed a little snappier. I much prefer the vol/vol over vol/blend setup, though.
@labeledbass a 3 would be good for space right now.
I've bought and sold it twice. I thought the 2 sounded better on both sides.
At one point I had a You're Doom, Doom 2, Octabvre MKII and III all on the board.
100% unnecessary, but fun.

Yes, that's what I liked the most. I noticed full ccw/cw just seemed farther on both ends with the mk3. The sub end definitely clipped pedals down the line using the mk3 easier so I assumed the output is higher
I go back & forth between the mkii & the IE Subterranea... the synth voices are so nasty on that thing & its sounds incredible through a filter but its nice to have a clean kill switch & the mkii gets pretty dirty with the tone knob dimed
I agree, the mkiii definitely goes deeper on both ends of the tonal spectrum but something about the attack on the mkii gives it a better feel imo, it has a creamier quality that I prefer.
Cmon baby, poppa needs a shipping confirmation
Price drop to the best price I've seen in a while on the You're Doom in the classifieds. Not affiliated.
If you're on the fence, don't get too caught up in it not being a Doom 2. I've had mine for quite a while and although someday I'd like to try a Doom 2 to compare, I've passed up plenty of them because the original is very good and basically does what I want anyway.

So, we’re officially into the third week of June. Anyone get a shipping notification yet? Not trying to be a complainer.. was just hoping for a little more reliability when dropping that kind of coin on an octave pedal.
Like I said in my earlier post, I’m still trying to give the benefit of doubt… Technically this is only the second full week of June. I guess that would put shipping to this week it’s only Wednesday, going by Spencer’s post on the 3Leaf site.
That said, this IS starting to make me a bit more….. unsure. Obviously some personal things are rightfully prioritized over business and I hope Spencer’s okay, but I did just reach out with a friendly email to check on status.

Unfortunately this is to be expected. He'll come through... eventually.
They may still be sorting out the high gain/standard doom2 confusion...
why that effects the people who only purchased octabvres is strange though
Yeah, they'll ship - I hate this market right now, so many pre-sales. I forget sometimes the outstanding builds I have at one moment.. At least this clears up the confusion of what I asked, why call it a pre-sale if your posted ship date is literally days after the drop date. Putting a date on things these days is so iffy
I also wish my Doom2 was already here with me, but let's face it... We don't deserve any better.
If we really need a freaking limited edition boutique bass effect pedal from a one man company, then ladies and gentlemen we don't deserve any better than to check our emails and talkbass for news on our precious purchases way too many times a day.
Prices for everything are skyrocketing in my country right now, still I bought a pedal that after shipping and taxes will cost me around 450 Euros which is quite a lot, a LOT. The only bass related purchase I made in the last 14 months was a used EHX Small Stone which i bought for 25 Euros, so... and my wife said sure I could buy it because she knows how much and hard I worked during the whole nightmare that is still not finished where I live.
Anyhow, if it sounds right when I turn it on, the price will be forgotten soon, and I hope it will bring me joy for many years on.
The only thing I'm really curious about is if there will be a ghost 3leaf on reverb before mine is through customs and delivered and in my hands.

A good reality check @Dr. Gonzo82, well said. Particularly the part about the price disappearing and getting joy from these pedals (which applies to other gear, too).
