Members Silverburst LP Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 Browsing around PGS and a few other sites, there are some companies just charging entirely too much for pedals. From what I've seen (today at least), Mad Professor gets my vote as the biggest jip in the business. Their pedals are over 300 {censored}ing dollars, and don't appear to be anything magical or so far out of the ordinary versus other run-of-the-mill boutique companies that entitles them to ass-rape their customers for that kind of dough. {censored} that {censored}. Right in the ear. Any other companies come to mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheCardiacKid Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 If people will pay it then it's priced right. That goes for Behringer or Klon. Also, have you ever played a Mad Professor pedal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lonely Tourist Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 Nope. Also the Klon is one of my favorite pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not you feel they are 'worth it' is totally subjective, but they make very nice pedals and every one I've ever played has sounded fantastic. Too rich for your blood? Then don't buy one.

Members Silverburst LP Posted March 3, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 Do you honestly think a dirt pedal that sounds the same as half the dirt pedals out there is worth 350$? Or a 3 knob analog delay?? I just can't see paying that much for anything that doesn't do multifunctions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand your outrage if you never intended to buy one in the first place. What are you - the pricing police? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Naterel Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 Have you ever played one? was it worth the money that you spent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Silverburst LP Posted March 3, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 Yeah, the sweet honey OD and the blue delay. Very nice, no doubt, but not worth the cash, IMO. A Carbon Copy and an OCD will get me those sounds and I can keep the other 400$ it'd have cost me for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheCardiacKid Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 was it worth the money that you spent? Since I bought them 40% off... Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hot_karl Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 if you haven't played one then shut the {censored} up. they have great reviews, and they are hand made in Canada. That has a lot to do with the cost... you think they're rich? i highly doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are pretty... I have a BJF HBOD and its probably the best sounding dirt pedal I've ever played. It has replaced a few amps for me that I normally used to get the same sounds, and I play it way more. I got it for $300. I sold the amps for $650. The HBOD payed me back $350 and I don't have to maintain it. Booya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRGUN Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 I think paying over 200$ for ANY dirt pedal (vintage/new etc...) is stupid. Stuff like delay would require much more R&D so the high prices are understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
