Details

The title pretty much says it, I have a Verellen Meatsmoke 2 channel tube preamp pedal, I've profiled it and it's time to return it to the wild. So, I'm looking to trade it for a Broughton Quicksilver.

I'm down for temporary trades too.

If this trade doesn't pan out, I'll open it up to other trades but it's definitely not for sale

My Review:
The Meatsmoke is hands down the greatest dirt box I've ever laid hands on, It is absolutely everything it's hyped to be. It will do everything from gentle tube warmth to rich overdrive and then when you kick in the boost it goes from distortion to insane fuzz and they all sound spectacular. It doesn't really do clean and it's not a great preamp for getting a modern Hi-Fi slap tone but if you want any variety of tube grit the Meatsmoke is it. It broke up as nicely on my 60's passive Pbass as it did with my 18v active Smith and that is often not the case with dirt pedals. It's kinda big for a pedal but it could replace a tube amp and would be small in comparison to that. It doesn't have a DI and needs ac power but none of that matters because it sounds incredible.

I love this line, this basically describes my logic towards most of my gear purchases

Although a little bit dirty for me, good luck with sale

To be clear, I'm talking about a one-for-one trade.
I paid $1000 for the Meatsmoke two weeks ago.

Yes and it's not my first $700-$1200 offer.
I've offered a 1for1 Archetype, Kern IP-777, Tonecraft 363, Alembic F1X, Useful Arts BF-S, Demeter 201 w/ Jenson, a Studio One and a Cirrus Bass.
Still no takers, QS owners be crazy.

QS owners aren't crazy, they just have most of the trade offers already

Did you change your mind @kranahan? ;)
I've offered some trades I paid $1200 for but I'd probably max out a $1000 cash.
