I guess I should have bought one when I had a chance. I thought that I would be able to get one on the second-hand market for at least the original cost or less. The cheapest listing I saw was about 800 or so on Reverb.
looks like Josh Scott has 2... maybe just ask him his opinion... about how much it's worth :chillin:

I got mine the other day and it is really impressive. Haven’t had a lot of time with it, but it holds its own against a D*A*M Oc75 equipped MKII. It is a keeper for sure.

Is the phaser and OD-1 from the Boss 40th Anniversary box set?

I have an oc84 sola/d.a.m, a killer pedal....all the flipping and tgp'ing has killed the Boss for me ( i wasn't very interested to begin with).

If my source is correct it sounds like there's a FET in the fuzz circuit.

Uh-oh! They made a point of talking about how it needed to be stable at different temperatures, so I wonder if there’s more going on in the circuit to achieve that. Not that it’s a bad thing if you want the sound without the temperamental nature.

Could that be why there is a volume drop at unity?

(Yes, someone on TGP actually said that)
