Sounds like it does the job to me but I've not tried the other two mentioned. Anyone want to comment from experience ? One went on ebay for over £200 not long ago but yeah - they more often seem to go for around £120 - £150. But it's difficult to be too certain over 'average value' as they aren't too common. I guess an auction is an auction and something is worth whatever it is that someone will go to for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, it might just need a good clean on the input / output / power jacks. I'd recommend giving it a go with a Caig DeOxit product, making sure you get any switching contacts on the jacks too. If it's the pots as well - more difficult - but might still be recoverable if it comes apart okay ( I've never tried ) ? Apologies if I'm stating the obvious - but I don't like to see things go to waste. Edited September 15, 2008 by rmorris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctor_of_the_bass Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Sorry Kev I just love the way you are such an expert on gear that you've never actually tried...and pricing of said gear...it brings a wry smile to my face!

Kev Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 (edited) how does trying a piece of gear tell you what the market price is likely to be?? i monitor the second hand market alot when it comes to effects, having owned and sold so many myself in the past, iv never nor will i ever claim to be an 'expert on gear i havn't tried'. i just like to think that i have a pretty good idea on good prices in the second hand effects market, and id probably say this sold for a decent price, but by no means was it a bargain. sorry if iv caused offense Edited September 17, 2008 by BassManKev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
