My Mini was my first or second pedal. It's not always on my board, but when I need an octave, it just works.
Yep. Mine's not going anywhere. I recently got a MKIII and it's excellent. But the MKII is the best of the best.

I love it when the seller explains to me how rare something is. I really do…I much prefer it to the “if you are looking at this you know what it is”
I am waiting for the descriptions to become “If you don’t know what this is, then you can’t afford it” - it’s like the easy hundred bucks you can make ain’t enough for these folks…gotta try and sell it to the next lotto winner. All you can do is laugh at them…thank goodness the pedal market is saturated w duplicity. It really only becomes a collectors game or a status thing at a certain point. Spencer’s pedals are great but when it comes to what they do, they really aren’t total unicorns. The chromatron is my fav env filter but if I couldn’t get one there are others that get close enough.

A Pwonzor sold at the verb for about $500 a couple of months ago. Not 7 years ago.
Right lol, i seem them more frequently than IE DubTs and those haven't even hit 1k yet
There's only 118 PWNZORs in the wild, and try to stick with serials outside of the 25-75 range if hunting for one.
"Cool you found one, it's one of the rarest pedals in my lineup." - Spencer@3leaf
his best tone enhancing pedal imho, each had to be tuned by ear, possibly a reason they haven't made a come back.

What's the reason for preferring those built outside of that range?
Some of the photocells used in that range had a wider tolerance that he liked, some were corrected and some weren't. Some even had op amp's switched, as well LEDs to correct the problem. He described it as the control would drift, I presume it would sound like the attack setting would change on it's own, basically from leaking light in the case - octocouplers are typically sealed really well, but I guess if light gets in there, or the photocell is out of spec, it won't work like expected - those possibly affected are from the range 25-75, and it is possible to correct the problem, but he would have to refresh a work order from 9 years ago for the process lol, so a fix may take a bit.
I can never ever sell my pwnzor. IMO its the best tone enhancer ever made. sure there’s alot of pedals that are great tone enhancers on their own right but for me nothing comes close to the pwnzor everytime its activated my ear bleeds for more (in a good awesome way)…
Thank you kind sir @Romain909 . this is one of the five boards i have and although its my home studio board and not my main gigboard, this is my favorite one…well for now while my bigger board is in the middle of assembly (and still not my main gigboard lol i prefer a smaller mono 11 pedals board. . but this will always hold a special place in the collection. Cheers to more gears sirs!
