Haha I did the same thing. Called them and left a message.
...and I'm going to have a cloudbuster eventually...when I actually start recording and distributing stuff. Until then it's kind of silly, but I still want it.

Providence Delay 80s, $500. Had the money at the time, wanted to try it. Made my money back when I sold it so it's like it never happened! Right?

MuTron BiPhase takes it for me, about $650.

Mobius and Timeline are next, equally expensive at around $460 per.

First batch Faye's Her was pricey too, $445 I think it was...

Timeline here as well, 450$ used. If you wanna add on its DMC controller that brings it to 610$ for a functional unit w/ accessories.

Same, I think.

And the Mobius...

Most expensive gear purchase I've made, though, was a Moog Guitar for $2100 followed by a custom handmade amp at $1500

I haven't paid more than $230 for a pedal. My current DMM and a TBD back in the day were probably the most expensive I have bought. Any pedal worth more i either traded for, was given, or won.

when pedal prices reach a certain point, my perception that i could get a guitar or amp for the same cost makes the pedals cost-ineffective. would i rather have a Faye's Her, or a Roland JC-120?

i'd make an exception for something like the Pigtronix Infinity looper, which would just about fill all my looping requirements in one box.

Agreed dubkitty. The Strymon stuff is easier to justify as you're getting multiple delays + looping or a whole shitload of mod options. However, when pedal cost starts creeping up towards amp cost, the decision is complicated as logic sets in.

can't say exactly what i paid for a moogerfooger mf-104 delay since i got it in a package deal but know it's the most expensive pedal i've owned. and it's the most overpriced delay on the market IMO, aside from SIB echodrives.
