BottomEndian Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) Hi. I'm pretty new here at BC, so I've already posted this in the eBay links forum and the guys there recommended I throw this in here as well, so... Here's my [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RARE-Akai-C2M-Hexacomp-multi-band-compressor-pedal_W0QQitemZ280307861195QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Guitar_Accessories?hash=item280307861195&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318"]Akai Hexacomp[/url] on eBay. It's a lovely pedal. A weighty beast, but a lovely pedal, especially on bass. They come up so infrequently on eBay that I had no idea what to guess as a starting price. Any thoughts? I've also got a Boss PS-3 Pitch Shifter / Delay and a DOD FX747 Supersonic Stereo Flange that might be going up on eBay soon, but is anyone here on BC interested in those as well? If I can avoid eBay on those, that'd be nice! Edited March 2, 2009 by BottomEndian
BottomEndian Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 [quote name='Thornybank' post='395609' date='Jan 30 2009, 06:15 PM']PS-3 price?[/quote] £90 (plus about £3 postage). They seem to tend to go for around £100 on eBay, so I figure that's a reasonable sum for an off-eBay deal. It's in good nick -- just a few scratches where it probably ended up in a bag with the Hexacomp or my G-Drive! It works perfectly. Only been gigged a couple of times in the 12 years or so I've had it, and not actually used much more than that. Pictures (in eye-watering detail): [attachment=19432:PS3_top_small.jpg][attachment=19433:PS3_right_small.jpg] [attachment=19434:PS3_back_small.jpg][attachment=19435:PS3_left_small.jpg] [attachment=19436:PS3_label_small.jpg][attachment=19437:PS3_front_small.jpg] [attachment=19438:PS3_bottom_small.jpg] And this shot just feels so wrong: [attachment=19439:PS3_open_small.jpg] Pristine innards! I don't think I've ever even put a battery in this thing. I've heard it eats them like a raptor.

Hairy dog balls? Bassballs? Seriously, yes, it's lovely. I didn't mention this in the item description, but the EQ isn't at all shy. I don't know what the figures are in terms of dB cut & boost, but it feels like way more than your standard 15 dB either way. Powerful stuff. A real tool in the arsenal. I'm kind of sad to see it go, but I really need the money and it's not getting any use on my current board of 5 (or is it 6? I lose count) dirt pedals.
BottomEndian Posted March 2, 2009 Author Posted March 2, 2009 Just as an update, the Hexacomp went to a guy in the US, and the PS-3 went to our very own Roady.
