MR. BLACK SS-850

Post by $harkToootth »

I saw this on Ruiner's Instagram. Looks like a cool little pedal! I'm a sucker for echos with a slider. It seems to have similar the Ibanez Echo Shifter (love that pedal). One is on reverb for $199 and that seems fair. Not sure how much the original price was or when it dropped. I completely missed this one (I wouldn't have got it anyway but it looks really cool!!!)

This one looks rad for sure. Seems like dust would fall into the slider over time and gunk it up though...

These are $230 list, but were $158 for Black Friday. It was unveiled just before Thanksgiving, so you're only a few weeks behind.

The EHX Micro Synth, Hog, Pog, and Graphic Fuzz utilize 10 or more slider pots each, and I'm not aware of any reported issues caused by dust. I've owned 3 Micro Synths without stiff or scratchy pots. Depending on the internal layout and the parts used, there are ways to minimize the impact of any intrusion. I wouldn't be too worried about it.

Thank goodness I really didn't pay attention this year...I probably would have bought one for $158 :lol:
