Members JVanDe7 Posted March 25, 2009 Members Share Posted March 25, 2009 You don't like the price of the pedal? Don't buy it. How dare you question his prices. I have never owned a zvex pedal and I don't intend to. Matter of fact, I'm not even sure I like the guy all that much from what I know of him on these forums. But I will defend his right to charge as much $$$ as he wants for his work. I'm sure he'll sleep just fine tonight whether or not you buy his {censored}. I can't stand when people do this {censored}. You see it on Craigslist all the time. "To the guy asking x amount of dollars for that (blank)..." You can't afford it. Get over it. I can't afford it either. I'm over it.

Members hecticone Posted March 25, 2009 Members Share Posted March 25, 2009 I dont really care for his pedals,but a business person should be able to charge what ever the market will bare. He has a good rep for making quality stuff. Save up or shutup thats my moto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Diabolus_in_Musica Posted March 25, 2009 Members Share Posted March 25, 2009 or get it used, That's how I got a couple... Same price for a BOR as a new distortron. May wait for a used one to check out the lastest "dirt"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JVanDe7 Posted March 25, 2009 Members Share Posted March 25, 2009 Grrr!Ok, you're right, that was a bit over the top. But seriously- ok, I want a $100,000.00 BMW so maybe if I whine about it long enough they'll lower the price to $5,000.00? Doubt it.Here's an idea- learn how to build pedals. Then you can build whatever you want and you'll only pay the price of the parts. Who knows, maybe one day you'll be selling pedals and some kid will cry about your prices...

Members IvIark Posted March 25, 2009 Members Share Posted March 25, 2009 The parts/cost ratio comes up a lot in regards to his pedals, but I think everyone misses a few things: time put into making the pedals, transit costs to move the pedals to retailers, the dealer markups so that retailers can pay their employees wages. Even with all that, they're all horrendously priced, and the Woolly Mammoth in particular is one of the most expensive new fuzz pedals you can buy here in the UK ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lfrz93 Posted March 25, 2009 Members Share Posted March 25, 2009 dude what a stupid question, think about it he makes every pedaal BY HAND with boutique materials lowering the price a little wouldnt hurt though just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Fury Posted March 25, 2009 Members Share Posted March 25, 2009 inb4 20+ pages seriously, pretty much all music gear is overpriced in terms of cost to build vs consumer cost, nothing more than pedals the Zvex stuff sounds good, but i am not going to pay 300+ for a distortion box when i can just cut the gain on my amp up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IvIark Posted March 26, 2009 Members Share Posted March 26, 2009 he makes every pedaal BY HAND with boutique materials Have you ever seen the internals of a Woolly Mammoth? 6 x $0.02 resistors, 6 x $0.05 capacitors and 2 x $0.10 transistors. Components aren't the deciding factor in making the pedal expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
