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.

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?

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.

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

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).

IT's worth it.

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