Smash Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Hi, a few years back I bought the above pedal and was wondering how much they go for now 2nd hand. I am not sure if I should keep hold of it or not as it hasn't made my pedal board for over a year but trying to find one was like hens teeth, any ideas?

joegarcia Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'll take it off your hands! I have a feeling they go for silly amounts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbass4k Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 They're quite sought after, grygrx of bassfuzz.com seems to be loving d*a*m gear at the moment, and they seem to be the flavour of the month on talkbass, so you could probably get quite a bit for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure it's available to US bidders, and you'll probably rake it in on eBay.

Starting price of £66.66, and was up to £301 within half an hour. Absolutely bonkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 If anyone actually wants a 1965 RI Copper Tone Bender, there's a limited edition batch of 250 out of Italy, and one is in the window of the shop Formerly-Known-As-Andys in Denmark Street. They want £295 for it. Compared to the £860 on this thread, that seems quite reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smash Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 Well today I just got the pedal out to see what this thing could be capable of and I couldn't believe I hadn't put this on the board, it will now take pride of place and will not be sold at any cost, I realised 3 years ago I bought around 50 different distortion pedals and this one was my favourite but as I was travelling light the past few years the pedal board only had a Bass-Drive and this has been sitting in a case. The sounds are really very different on the front 4 selectable patches, from a Fulltone Bass-Drive to a Woolly Mammoth sound, it really is very versatile and now have my perfect set up. a Bad Pic below of the inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest is on the paint job, obviously. I can't really talk though, I'm guilty of spending silly money on a pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher1993 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Nobody can argue with supply and demand. It'd be a different story if they were priced at £300 and not selling! They definitely sell, and they sell very well as far as I can see. People shouldn't be bashing David Main, but the people that pay the big money for them. Main's making the most of his market, I'm sure it's not him that determines the resale value of his pedals. I've never played a D*A*M pedal but I can't see people paying that amount for a pedal that doesn't sound good. I'm sure they're great pedals, credit where it's due!

burno70 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 If I had the cash and it lived up to the hype I wouldn't have a problem paying £300 for a pedal - not that I have that kind of money at the minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Fly Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I am sorry if I gave the impression that I though that £300 is an unreasonable sum to pay for the pedal in the photo - it wasn't my intention. Personally, I have no problems if a D*A*M pedal sells for £300 or £3000. As I said, I was simply curious about it. Moreover, strictly from the bass player viewpoint I have no way to judge - I never tried any D*A*M pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smash Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 I sold it in the end as someone from the States wanted it so bad they paid me £350 for it, I love the pedal but found a modded Rat to emulate most of the tones, but I do miss it, wished someone would do something similar for a cheaper price.
