What a pair of hairy balls look like...

That's what a pair of hairy balls look like. Neither are mine, both loaners from different people...having a blast with them, makes me miss my '66 something fierce.

I was a week too late to order that mkII on the last run he did before he finished making them forever. they were about $200ish then but they are stupid money now. between $400 - $750. I be trollin ebay and its so much money for his tonebender. there was a custom DAM MKII that had a 3 pos switch for OC71 OC75 OC88 or something and it sold for $1500. not sure exactly what transistors but you get the idea.

I avoid all things tonebender just so I don't get sucked into this kind of insanity.

they look nice though.

This is not intended to poo-poo things that other people are into, but can someone PLEASE explain the DAM madness to me and make it make sense? OK, so he makes tonebender/fuzz face/rangemaster clones. OK, so he has some really old NOS transistors. I'm still trying to figure out how that makes the pedals worth 400 - 2500 dollars. Is it just the classic "mojo" argument all over again? I mean, I'm not a cheapskate. I've paid 300-500 for a pedal several times. I just want it to make sense, damn it.

Looks like devnulljp finally has some competition!

And I think you just summed up Bigchiefs curiousity about DAM.

Supply and demand, that's it. He doesn't sell them for those crazy prices, resellers and flippers do. I bought my first D*A*M for $190, a 1966. After 4 years, I sold it for $875. Would I buy another? Sure, at MSRP. Are they worth the hype? Sure. If you could have one for $250, I bet you'd have one on your board...maybe two or three.

Its just like the madness with fodera, because people want them they are willing to pay 7k and wait three months for a bass at one time that was in the 2500 range.

[tuffteef]

jeez with that much cash u could buy a hoard of trannies and research and develop your own tonebenders

[nad]

Those don't look like hairy balls. They look like gaping wallet holes.

Not all Tonebenders are cheap...

I meant to say not all Tonebenders are expensive. I don't know what was going on there haha...
