Members Crxsh Posted May 6, 2008 Members Share Posted May 6, 2008 So... thanks to the discontinuation of this pedal and the resulting hyper-inflated prices people can charge for them, I've considered offing mine on several occasions. Most recently, I put it up in the SPAM thread after overthinking my rig for awhile and considering a (a-nother) complete shakeup. I got a number of offers and among them, entertained everything from a classic DMM, to a REALLY nice tele and $350 cash.... $350 cash .... this is ridiculous. So I go home today, just as I've done before, and tell myself that I'm going to play it one more time just to be sure I can do without it. I plug it in, add a touch of delay and .... WHOA MAMA!!! This pedal kills. The money has got me batty. I'd love to sell this off and cash in on the under-saturated, over-hyped market .... but I just love how it sounds. It's frustrating. Muff clone or not, this is a brilliant pedal. Anyone else torn between the money and the awesome tones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members zygoat Posted May 6, 2008 Members Share Posted May 6, 2008 I know I'm going to be in the same situation when my Lunar Module gets here, and if it gets discontinued down the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HeartfeltDawn Posted May 6, 2008 Members Share Posted May 6, 2008 Sell it. I borrowed one from a forumite and it didn't blow me away like my Screwdriver did. Sell sell sell sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SUPER VELCROBOY Posted May 6, 2008 Members Share Posted May 6, 2008 Money is the most common and easily replaceable resource on the planet. Good tone is hard to come by.IF you have a job but anyway, i think it's replaceable by the many muff alternatives out there. Sell it when it's still hot.

Members Alchemist Posted May 6, 2008 Members Share Posted May 6, 2008 Money is the most common and easily replaceable resource on the planet. Good tone is hard to come by. so many pedals out there that sound equally good.... kinda hard to get really bad tone unless you just buy the cheapest things out there these days.. take advantage of the hype.... sooner or later something else will come along that people will go crazy over and your pedal along with all its hype will be tossed aside (well not tossed aside, just not as popular) I sold both of my Gibson guitars for the same, or more money than I payd.... no regrets, good guitars, just not perfect for my needs.... took advantage of the money and got something better suited for me...

I agree, but I don't think it's worth selling if you enjoy playing it and you like it every time you use it. If you don't have a job then I'd understand... but it's easy to make a lot of cash from normal jobs like bartending etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have a job then I'd understand... but it's easy to make a lot of cash from normal jobs like bartending etc. I've got a great job and (if I do say so myself) a pretty decent salary for only being a year out of college. So.... money isn't a problem, at least ... it's not like I need the cash. It's just the idea of selling it. I'm QUITE pleased with how it sounds ... no complaints really. That said, I can get a good deal more than I paid for it ... so that's always appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dap99 Posted May 6, 2008 Members Share Posted May 6, 2008 Someone near Indiana wanna lend me a Big Muff so I can A/B these? I have a BYOC muff that's modded w/ the 3 pos switch for Flat Mids, Scooped Mids, and Boosted Mids. I'll swap for a while for one of your pedals if you want.

Members Loobster Posted May 6, 2008 Members Share Posted May 6, 2008 Sounds like a good offer. Someone needs to do an ultimate muff shootout video. I'm gonna AB a NYC Muff with my Hoof, when it arrives. I got rid of my Pink Flesh, wasn't really that blown away by it. The MG McMufflefuzz (or whatever it's called) is without doubt the nicest sounding muff I've ever played. It looks like a packet of fries from MaccyD's too.

Members NITEFLY182 Posted May 6, 2008 Members Share Posted May 6, 2008 I see no reason to sell just because its an expensive pedal. You like it. You dont need the cash. Dont sell. All these jokers telling you to sell are either vultures or skreddy haters. Everyone that has sold a skreddy has mentioned regretting it. Dont do it.
