And good luck getting a Studio One for cash, although there are more out in the wild now. You may have better luck scoring another rare pedal and using it as trade bait.
Yeah that's what I figured. I was able to land an FMeron in the last presale, I might dangle that if it's not something I gel with.
And if you go to the can, take your phone with you. Not that that’s how I scored my Studio One last year…
The ole Uncle Rick method.
He’s like the dude. I take great comfort in just knowing he’s out there.
I do miss his stories.
So, unsurprisingly I've had the same luck as @TOGNA trying to get anyone to sell or trade me a Quicksilver at any price or for even the rarest gear. I only need it for a week or so because I'd just profile and flip it anyway.
Anybody want to Rent me a QS?
I would paypal you it's full value (you name it) and when I return it, you refund me less $100-200 for your trouble.
I'm also still down for temp trades if anyone wants to try out a Verrellen Meatsmoke, Kern IP-777, Tonecraft 363, SuperStack DI, Ampeg SVTDI, Helion or a Suncoast B1p. I have a bunch of other Broughton stuff too but if you have a QS you probably already have all that other stuff.

Dude...
I've seen some of the things you've gotten, profiled, and sent on their way...
I WANT that Profiler... or the profiles it houses...Digital Dibs?
I can totally send you the files, you just have to buy a Kemper.
Good point I'll also cover insured shipping both ways.
I like the Apex over the mk2 Empress, reminds me more of the original Empress honestly, very clean and easy to dial in.
So far the Monocomp has been beat out by the Omnicomp, but like you I don't want to ditch the Apex, may use both? there's also a monocle in there as well I don't really know what to do with. I have this cool idea of having several setups with different preamps, but I'm not kidding myself, I don't run a studio or anything close... Choices must be made.
I always speak on my hatred for compressors and here I go ending up with more of them than anything else...
Greaaaattttt!
Thanks @Uncle Walt ! Just what I needed! MORE expensive stuff to chase after!
Grumble grumble...
***Adds Kemper to the Shopping/Wish List
***Checks Stock and Crypto portfolios... Well crap! Not today!
Yes, I started with an MXR Bass Comp. which I thought was actually a really great compressor, but then I was switching to all top jacks for pedalboard cleanliness so I got the Empress Mk2 which was also very good. Then I got the Apex saying, we'll see but I can't imagine it will kick the Empress off, and after about an hour/hour and a half of different riffs through the ditto, the Apex won easily and I knew after about 15 minutes it was going to win I just kept comparing to make sure, maybe it was disbelief. But this shoot out went for an hour and a half and I'm having a very difficult time, I guess I'll have to compare how it does live next to really know. Once I build my bigger board I will probably use them both but with my current board it seems a bit over kill.
