Hey!
First off, let me say that the few analogman pedals I've owned have all been FANTASTIC, and well-worth the $$$. I've more than gotten my money's worth (and that's saying something!). I was looking into checking out another one of their pedals, and looked and Reverb, only to find that prices were actually HIGHER than newly bought, direct-from-the-source pedals. What gives?!
I don't use many effects. A wah and some dirt are really all I need. I'll pepper in some chorus, delay, or univibe here and there, but if I had to make a compact, "desert island" type board, I wouldn't be too upset leaving time / modulation pedals off of it. In my case, for these pedals, the law of diminishing returns definitely applies, and I'm ok with a budget variety that still does the trick. Part of me says "who in their right mind would pay that much for an XXX??" but if that's your playing style, I certainly can't fault you. On the other hand, I CAN be shocked that someone would pay extra for a second-hand pedal from a Reverber than a new one from the pedal maker himself.
NB: I'm not talking about pedals with parts that are no longer available, like the NKT 275. I'm talking about pedals that are still in production.
Are these Reverbers and eBay folks just hoping that you don't even check the analogman website? What's going on here?__PRESENT
