Ramjet Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) hello all, Used to work in the music retail business and i was going through a sealed container of gear I have at home and came across a boxed / mint condition / never taken out the box / gigged or played Akai Deep Impact pedal. Photos show that the instructions are still sealed in the original wrapper as is the unit. Has been securely stored and is totally authentic. Happy to answer all questions potential buyers may have. Serious offers at c. £950- £1000.00 please; no interest and i'll stick it on ebay or stick it back in the time capsule for another 10 years I have an AKAI Uni-bass in exactly the same condition - again, serious offers considered. Collection only, cash on pick up. I'm West Midlands based. thanks.[attachment=159122:034.JPG][attachment=159123:035.JPG][attachment=159124:036.JPG][attachment=159125:037.JPG][attachment=159126:038.JPG][attachment=159127:039.JPG] Edited April 8, 2014 by Ramjet
Wud Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I used to work at Turnkey, and remember when they were boshing these out for £79.
Thunderbird Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Yep best stand aside and let the guy try and sell his pedal
topo morto Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 The OP has presumably paid his dues to BC to put up the listing... and who knows, there may be a hygiene-conscious effect lover out there for whom this is a dream come true!
Ramjet Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 I can assure you all that April 1st is totally coincidental. Price is based on fact that a couple of these @ 2nd hand have gone on ebay for £1800. this is effectively brand new. as i said, if no-one's interested, ebay it will be!

Anyway I'll say no more, you are of course entitled to ask whatever price you like.
iamtheelvy Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Very nice. Knock off a zero and I'd snap it up...
NoirBass Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Credit where credits due. Seems to have created quite a lot of publicity! GLWTS
Ramjet Posted April 1, 2014 Author Posted April 1, 2014 Unibass can go for £300. (very generous i know ). Same brand new condition as the Deep Impact in the pics above. Of course i can provide photos if anyone interested. thanks.

Ramjet Posted April 1, 2014 Author Posted April 1, 2014 if anyone was seriously interested, i'd happily arrange to meet them to look at the pedal(s) / plug it in / test it with their rig.

molan Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) I've seen a few of these with knocks and scratches sell for around the £700 mark. An extra £250 - £300 for an absolutely immaculate one seems fair to me Edited April 1, 2014 by molan

rebo213 Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Will be a nice add to my new overdrive: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Klon-Centaur-Professional-Overdrive-Distorion-Pedal-Gold-Horsey-Centuar-/321354158215?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item4ad2335087

[/quote] Alas I don't need a synth pedal at the moment but if I did this is the only one I'd go for. I've tried pretty much every synth pedal out there and, to my ears (plus a lot of heavyweight pro players) nothing else delivers the tone of a Deep Impact
edstraker123 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 I think its value is as a collectable, rather than being based on the quality of the pedal itself. I'll never forget having spent ages tracking one down, taking it round to burno's to put it through its paces and the expression on his face said it all when he asked me how much I had paid for it and that was at 200 quid ! I did sell it on at a small profit so if this one is new old stock it would be worth quite a bit to a collector or the pro players who can justify the expense.
