So silly. Also (obviously) more than little misleading to say that "only 100 exist."
I've read that it's a strategy. List for a stupidly high price, just to see how high people will go with offers. Basically just using Reverb as an unlimited auction.
Oh yes, we've seen it. This thread is responsible for a number of those offers
I threw up in my mouth a little bit for actually making an offer, but I was #36 for $375... Also declined. lol Only reply: "No thanks" I think John may be getting a little annoyed with the offers. lol It's okay, I was actually hoping I didn't get it as there's plenty of other stuff on my list above a high gain Doom 2, but my curiosity got the better of me. I also wonder if the seller is aware of this thread.lol
Well it arrived. Great octave, love being able to go sub only with a foot switch. Can really get some good synth sounds with the tone and Tim switch.
Anyone want an Anima preamp? Lol. Though maybe I’ll make a pedal out of it, could be fun to try it out on different basses.

Not afiliated.
I don't know how much is a new anima, but there's one for sale in the verb.
Not me. I don’t know I could sell it by charging over retail for it, but props to him if it works.
It has to be over retail, you have to add shipping cost and listing fees, plus packing materials and your time to drive to the post office
After all, it IS the best preamp in the world…
Absolutely! You can always tell how good a product is by how many are forced onto you at checkout -
Y’all are surprised that hard to get, status symbol pedals are high priced on the secondary market? Or it’s more that you are annoyed that you are priced out?
Doom 2 for $333!, no wait it's $555, ok proceed to checkout, no wait I forgot the price is $777, now we may proceed (IF you live outside the US)
"But you just said yesterday it's $333?"
"But you just said yesterday it's $333?"
You're missing the subtext. They're mocking the fact that the first of the tied preamps is already up for resale, and that the seller is attempting to list an item which few (no one?) wanted and which approximately 49 other people are also about to try to resell for more than its retail price.
Also it's not a pedal. It's an on-board preamp.
It's not something I need...especially for something that was an afterthought bundled with a prized octave pedal. I'm sure everyone would have bought the pedal even without the forced preamp for $555.
I'm certainly interested though, but I'll wait until there are 50 more on the used market and the price comes down a bit...
I wonder if Spencer is hoping for a wildfire to start in the used marketplace over his preamps like there is for his pedals. Also, I've never understood why he keeps opening and closing his store front between drops...? Even if there is no stock, just having a reference of MSRP is helpful. It's just weird. So, for the sake of posterity and those wondering if the Anima really was selling for ~$340, like this Reverb seller (price as of June 2023):
Lowendtech
Happily trending in my own peculiar direction.
