  1. I received one in April back and the tax and duties payable on receipt came to just shy of £230. Mine was a non-rush order and I bought a few extra bits (case, tubes, cable etc) but that should be around the right ballpark. It’s part of my permanent set up now though so it was worth it to me.
  2. These have been out for a while - I think I got mine in November - but they seem to go out of stock a lot. If I recall correctly, there was due to be a limited restock last month but I don’t know if that happened. It seems to be in stock here though: https://www.fxpedal.co.uk/effects-c101/wah-c190/dunlop-electronics-dunlop-justin-chancellor-cry-baby-wah-guitar-effects-pedal-p5280/s5427?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=dunlop-electronics-dunlop-justin-chancellor-cry-baby-wah-guitar-effect-dun-jct95&utm_campaign=product%2Blisting%2Bads&cid=GBP&glCurrency=GBP&glCountry=GB The unit is extremely solid and well made so, compared to my other Wah-like pedals, this feels extremely robust. I like the fuzzes (so-called US-style and UK-style) that come out of it. To be honest though, I’ve not used mine much yet because I’ve been moving and my pedals are on a desk (which isn’t great for this type of pedal!). Still, Justin Chancellor had one in his set-up in the latest tour so it can’t be all bad. Perhaps someone else would like to chime in before I dig it out and record some demos. What tones are you hoping to get out of it?
  3. Flagship Boss ES-8 loop switcher and 18 40cm gold-plated Rockboard straight-to-angled cables. Turn your analogue pedals into a multi-effects unit by changing the order of your signal chain on the fly. I’m including enough cables (worth £100+) to use all 8 send and returns and the tuner, with a cable to spare. In near perfect condition and fully boxed with power adapter. £480 posted to the UK.
  4. Sushi Box FX are making a name for themselves in the US, with the same folks getting stuck into 3LEAF, Broughton and Iron Ether pedals raving about Sushi Box too. This is their top spec hand-wired, hand-built Space Heater tube preamp pedal in metallic flaked rainbow's end finish. The hand-wiring gives it greater headroom so the extra build time and effort are worth it. It’s designed to be used to add some flexible 12AX7 tube warmth to your tone using a small enclosure. It runs at 9V or 12V (no difference in performance), with the pedal upping the voltage to 200V internally. From the website: "There is some shared DNA with the Alembic F-2B. With the gain low you can crank the volume without it breaking up, though obviously is will push your amp HARD as it is a high output circuit. Add some gain and you can get varying levels of breakup, with a nice hairy drive when the gain is cranked." I recently bought a Noble so I’m moving on most of my tube pedals (as was said in another thread, for a pedal that expensive you have to commit!). I ordered this a couple of months before my Noble was due to be shipped but, because of the time Nathan at Sushi Box takes to create his pedals, the Noble actually arrived first. As a result, someone can get a bargain for a mint pedal (I've used it only to test it works) without having to wait or faff around with customs duties and import VAT (RRP for this version is $220 before postage, taxes and duties). £180 boxed and posted to the UK.
  5. I'm selling my Darkglass Hyper Luminal compressor pedal. It's fantastically well built and feature-heavy, with three separate compression modes (FET = 1176; BUS = Solid State Logic Bus; SYM = Darkglass Super Symmetry). Amos Heller doing his thing (again): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTWx2dp95v8 I've owned it from new and looked after it well. £170 boxed and posted by Royal Mail Special Delivery.
  6. I'm selling my limited run Hobo Santa muff-style fuzz by IdiotBox Effects. I had it listed here a few weeks ago as part of my seeming pedal armageddon but thought it deserved its own listing. It's only made in limited runs (around Christmas, unsurprisingly) and uses old Russian germanium transistors. I've owned it from new and really looked after it. Controls: Stink = Tone Drunk = Fuzz Hostility = Volume I own, and have owned, several IdiotBox pedals and I think Matt does a great job. Plus, who wouldn't want a pedal with a drunken Santa on it?! Website link: https://www.idiotboxeffects.com/product/hobo-santa-fuzz You'll have seen I'm parting with a fair few of my pedals at the moment. Give me a shout if you're interested in more than one and I'll see if I can give you a deal and combine shipping.
  7. Hi, I’m trying to thin the herd and recoup some funds, so a sale is strongly preferred. If you’ve got anything in mind though then please feel free to PM me about it. Cheers!
  8. Sushi Box FX SBVT. Twin 12AX7 tube preamp pedal handmade in the US to channel the SVT. It sounds 3D, open and huge and, as expected of Sushi Box, is very well made. I used it to give heft to my signal when not playing through an amp (just a desktop DI), and it worked fantastically. It just feels different when putting the signal through tubes. £240 posted in the UK via Royal Mail Special Delivery. I can provide demos on request as I’m aware they’re relatively rare, and I’m happy to answer any questions.
  9. Gnarly, heavy limited edition fuzz. It retains the low end very well and is one of my favourite fuzzes (as previously mentioned on BC). As far as I can tell, it’s a silicon-based fuzz based on the Supa Tonebender. These are now no longer in production so the limited edition tag wasn’t just a sales claim. Hondo Felder showing how it's done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-nEOWSIn9E&t=203s £80 boxed and posted by Royal Mail Special Delivery. NB: pedal will be wrapped in bubble wrap as I no longer have the box contents.
  10. Special limited edition version of the latest B7K Ultra. £290 boxed and posted by Royal Mail Special Delivery. It’s a classic for a reason but, aside from being an absolutely fantastic overdrive, it has XLR out, cab sims, aux in and headphones out too so it’s very versatile as a practice/recording tool too. I’ve really looked after this pedal so would like it to end up in a place where it will be appreciated. I’m happy to answer questions or record a demo. This promo may help though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G29Jx_BqAbY
  11. Excellent multi-band distortion. Remarkably useful. £120 boxed and posted by Royal Mail Special Delivery. Amos Heller being Amos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3yuOGy24Ec
  12. £120 boxed and posted by Royal Mail Special Delivery. Amos Heller doing his thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODWVNuiEpTA&t=296s
  13. The underrated Darkglass pedal. £120 boxed and posted by Royal Mail Special Delivery. A much better bassist (Amos Heller) demonstrating it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0deerNRYSA
  14. These are about £500 new so grab a bargain! Hugely versatile all-in-one device with Darkglass build quality. Tuner-dual band compression-drive to fuzz-cabsims-XLR out. Headphone amp with Bluetooth and aux-in for silent practice. Midi and USB complete the package. It’s the rarer ADAM (rather than Aggressively Distorting Advanced Machine) version and I’ve looked after it well. £390 including UK postage.
  15. Fantastic price on all of those. The Copilot price is really good; I bought one new recently and after taxes and postage it came out to more than £160. Fantastic gated synth too so someone will be on to a winner. Good luck with the sales!
  16. If I recall correctly, the website did say that COVID caused other issues (health issues if I recall correctly) but thankfully these seem to be passed too. I’ve emailed quite a few pedal-makers over the last couple of years and the supply chain issues do sound horrendous. As soon as one component becomes unavailable it wreaks havoc and it’s often something that seems incidental. From memory, I recall seeing there were issues with obtaining input jack rings, transformers (they doubled in price), and some other specific (often one-model) components, and that was before Russia banned the export of tubes which caused a scramble there too. I’ve been told it’s getting better but that the problems are still very much real which is why batches are small and often done on a pre-order basis. Hopefully this won’t be the norm for much longer and a simple jack ring won’t stop us seeing pedals.
  17. It’s a shame if that’s the case. I’ve ordered from Spencer four times and the pedals have always arrived. COVID took (and, through supply chains continues, to take) a heavy toll on a lot of the one-man operations but especially on 3LEAF it seems. I’ve always found him to be a nice guy (to the extent that can be gleaned from email exchanges) and I really rate his pedals so I’m glad he’s building again. I’m also happy to buy from him directly. I find it annoying when manufacturers won’t supply the UK but don’t sell to distributors either.
  18. It looks like a new batch of Protons will be coming in the Ghost finish in a couple of months. Presumably that means no more Doom 2s for the moment but, as deliveries of the last batch are taking place, it may be that some hit the secondary market (although that doesn't necessarily mean they won't cost a few bob). The supply chain issues are still having an impact but hopefully as that eases a more usual service will resume.
  19. Thanks for taking the time to provide an update. I don't want to bother him. If he releases more pedals then that would be great but, if he doesn't, such is life. The website was down briefly a week or so ago but is back up now. I take that as a helpful to neutral sign.
  20. I'm selling my Squier Classic Vibes 70s Strat HSS in a lovely deep walnut. I'm also throwing in a Fender guitar bag (with carry handle and shoulder straps), a Levy strap, a Hercules guitar stand and a new set of Fender strings. To top it all off, it's been set-up by a professional luthier so it plays fantastically and sounds great. It's in basically as new condition. I bought it to learn chords but ended up getting a great deal on a Spector six-string a couple of days after ordering it. I still harboured designs on learning how to play it but given I can barely play bass I decided to get real. Also selling my MOOG Werkstat and Arturia Keystep Pro so keep a look out for those too! Collection from London only please as I don't have a box to post it in.
  21. I'm selling my MOOG Werkstatt-01 Synth. It's in basically as new condition, having been assembled and used once to test it works. An excellent demo also using the Werkstatt and Arturia Keystep Pro (which I'm also selling on BC) can be found here: https://youtu.be/xfWauY8H8J0 UK postage included in the price. I'm based in London though if anyone wishes to buy and collect for a £10 discount. I bought it with visions of learning to play synth lines. Given I can barely play bass you can guess how well that went. Also selling my Arturia Keystep Pro and Squier Strat (for the same reasons) so keep a look out for those too!
  22. I'm selling my Arturia Keystep Pro keyboard and arpeggiator. It's in basically as new condition, having been used once to test it works. I have registered it but will assist the buyer in transferring the license. Details as to how simple the process is can be found here: https://support.arturia.com/hc/en-us/articles/4405741338642-How-to-resell-my-product-license- More details as to the array of features can be found here: https://www.arturia.com/products/hybrid-synths/keystep-pro/overview I bought it with visions of learning to play synth lines. Given I can barely play bass you can guess how well that went. Also selling my MOOG Werkstat and Squier Strat (for the same reasons) so keep a look out for those too! Collection from London only please - this is a three octave keyboard so too big for me to post sensibly.
  23. I'm selling my Sennheiser MD421-II cardioid microphone. I bought it new and have used it only to test that it works. I had grand designs of mic-ing my cab but I've switched to a desktop DI set-up. It comes boxed with all of the goodies. UK postage via Royal Mail Special Delivery included in the price. I'm based in London and, if anyone wishes to buy and collect, I can throw in a cab mic stand.
