From what little I played with it, the FZ-2 Helix model seemed really accurate. You can get a used HX FX for not much more than these Hyper Fuzz prices :picard:

Yet another pedal I always meant to buy, but never had an extra $75 sitting around until they cost $200.

Seems like the hype train never found his way to Europe or something. FZ-2's pop up now and than, for hardly more than what I payed for mine back in the day :idk:

Not a fan of the flimsy behringer copy personally :idk:

Or you could just buy one Behry, and four replacements for the same amount of money.

I am saying I need to buy a Behringer and rehouse it. My OG works fine, but it's such a great fuzz for 25$ plus a few clams for a case, totally worth a little extra work ..

I feel like the Reverb price guide of $150-200 is reasonable. Who are this nutso people on Reverb and eBay selling for $600-1000?

The pcb looks dope, but it only has the 2 modes.. no gain boost. That's actually what I used the pedal for originally. Before I actually liked fuzz.. :whateva:

Yeah I think $150 as long as it's not super beat is pretty fair.

Put out some feelers on Craigslist, got a few people willing to sell, I offered $175 and both said “double that amount and we can talk” so..... I’ll just buy a Demon Lung when they are back in stock :idk:

Reverb seems to have strange peaks & valleys for prices.
Couple of years ago, Zoom Ultra Fuzzes that had scrapes and no boxes were listing at $300. :whateva:
