Members ck3 Posted May 20, 2006 Members Share Posted May 20, 2006 +1 for the $200 mark (unless part of the cost can be reduced via a trade) ... I can only afford so much with a below-average, masters-level social worker's salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Robbert Posted May 20, 2006 Members Share Posted May 20, 2006 I paid a lot (300+ Euro/USD) when the Delayla got released. It is the most I ever paid for a pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hopeless Romantic Posted May 20, 2006 Members Share Posted May 20, 2006 The most I have ever paid is 200 for my Octron. The most I can see spending is somewhere around there, definately no more than 300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members psalt_phallow Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 I wont spend over about 200 on a pedal as a general rule. guitars I dont go over 1000 (I like to buy the cheapies and mod them anyway so why bother on the upgraded electronics & hardware if I'm going to change them anyway?). Amps I currently have no limit but plan on building a 5e5 tweed pro once the funds permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members capnbringdown Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 It depends on what it is. If I don't think I will use it too much, $100 is about my limit. If it's something that I will use a lot, then $200 is probably my limit. Yeah, I know, I'm a cheap bastard, but for the most part, those pedals that cost over around $200 can be found cheaper by someone else. I usually buy on the used market, though, so I think I get a little more bang for my buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members danceatron Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 $500 for a moog delay. I don't think I've paid more than that for anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Seth Carmody Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 Most I've spent is AUD$300 (~US$240) on a Frostwave Resonator, but there's really nothing else like it in the price range. Budget limits are generally $150 for dirt, $200 for modulation/delay. Pretty much anything fits into this provided it's not upper level brand new boutique (Red Witch, Diamond, TZF) or vintage collectable (Mutron, Flying Pan etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members seifukusha Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 I paid about $500 for my lofi (in trades) but on the other hand I got the other ones and way less, so its balances out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members squareking Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 Hmm...Vox Clyde - $50 plus a Route 66BYOC Triboost - free!MXR Dynacomp - $20 plus a Daddy-OMista Fuzz - $150Digitech Synth Wah - $35Pandora's Fuzzbox - $55Dano Fish & Chips - $20EHX DEM - $90ishDano Chicken Salad - $15Ibanez DE7 - giftMagicstomp - giftLine 6 Echo Park - traded for FL9 which was traded for a used Small Stone, so...$50The only real botique stuff I've ever had (I think ) were fuzzes - Fulltone, Roger Mayer, etc. Most of the rest of the pedals I've owned were pretty much run-of-the-mill. So I guess my college-student limit is ~$150. Having a girlfriend that understands the nature of pedal geekiness really, really helps, too.Someday...someday.....

Phil O'Keefe Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Lovetone Dop and Wob - recently got the pair for $1,300 shipped. So I guess that means $650 each. I believe that's the most I've paid for a slngle pedal. Times two. My Lovetone Brown Source was a bit under $350 IIRC, and outside of that, everything has been under $250; with most of the pedals I have purchased coming in under $150.Compared to studio stuff, this isn't so bad. As far as what I'm willing to spend, it would depend on what it was and how badly I was GASing for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members drmanbear Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 $200 is about the limit for me. $450 for a pedal (ahem, Memory Lane, ahem) is absolutely insane. Unless, of course, you have a ridiculous amount of expendable cash. And even then you're getting raped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members t_e_l_e Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 payed 259$ for my laura bennet fuzzfactory, with shipping and taxes it was about 260euro, which made it about 50euro cheaper than the regular version in a store near by me. before that my pp2+ was the most expensivest part on my board which was 200euro shipped. i guess i would pay more if i really have gas for something, but for now pedal gas is gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine from Lovetone for $369.Check out that Doppelganger trick at the Lovetone Lounge to expend the LFO sweep. The most any non famous person should pay is $500 because any pedal over $500 should guarantee fame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aeroslepperin Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 i sort of think along the lines of "it doesn't matter how much i spend, a few weeks after i buy the buyer's remorse is gone and i (hopefully) am enjoying what i have". with that said, i don't like to spend much more than $300...of course trying to spend as little as possible.

Members musk Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 I finally found a Fulltone TTE to try out, very nice, but man I couldn't see springing a grand for it. That's just MHO. I guess I see 200 as the upper limit for most any pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 4Kenoath Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 Depends on how much I like a particular effect, what it can do, what choices there for those features, how much our currency is worth, etc etc... I don't care for most types of effects that much so they're not going to attract a lot of $$ from me, but some, like vibe or trem, I might extend myself. Authentic vibe circuits are nearly alway around $300, so that's a biggy, but even fx I like can often be had for very reasonable prices because the choices available allow for that. I never pay for collector gear, no matter how good, the price is never justified for me, since I'm not into "collecting". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members trucks Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 The echoczar order was my highest for a pedal. I use to pay more for rack effects. Man, I'm glad those are gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
