Swollen Pickle Mk2 for 50? Opinions?

[Communarchy]

Got a new swollen pickle on my locals Craigslist for $50. I'm a muff guy and have tried the pickle pie B from Wren and Cuff and I loved the texture and massive amount of gain. It was muff like but also had a unique clipping all it's own. The scoop was too much though for live use as the pedal is more suited for bass (obviously). Well now there is a cheap Swollen Pickle up for grabs and I'm wondering if it's worth $50 bucks to satiate my curiosity. Anyone think it's a decent pedal or something I should just ignore? I have plenty of boutique muff clones, and have owned and played a couple vintage muffs of varying era so I'm no newbie. My muff addiction is just prying at me to give this last untouched corner a go.

If you like muffs that much, it's only $50.

If you don't like it I'd probably take it off yer hands, unless it is the same exact thing as a Big Muff Pi w/ tone wicker, which I already have.

[StopReferencing]

I think it's worth $50.

I also do not think it sounds much like the Tone Wicker.

Definitely worth a try for $50. You'll have no problem getting your money back at the very least.

It's pretty different from the wicker. Has a scoop control, compression (crunch) control, internal clipping trim, scoop q trim on top of the standard Vol/Tone/Sustain. I'm going to get it today.

I loved mine when I had it, and now I kinda want one again.

for $50, how good does it HAVE to be?

[John]

Well, DIBS on the resale...

Hit that if you want a Muff that can be tuned for less mid-scoop. Even if it doesn't float your boat, flipping should be dead easy, maybe even at a profit.

(If you want a muff-ish thing but with big mids, though, maybe you should head right for a Buzzaround clone.)

I tried it once and really liked. But Never got One... Somehow other priorities. For 50 bucks? Awesome Pedal imho.

[dubkitty]

there's no way it could be any worse than that Akai thing

[MannequinRaces]

I kinda regret selling mine. Some good tones in that box. Like others have said for $50, why not. The only thing I didn't like about it was that it's really bass-y. If you play in a two-piece band it would be perfect (fills up lots of the sonic spectrum).

[GardenoftheDead]

IT's worth it.

I actually don't prefer muffs and I would jump at that. So tweakable
