Edit: on a serious note. The tube pre perhaps?

Dunno then. The first couple of results when googling "SIB Echodrive reverb" say "extremely rare" and "rare", but I can see that they're about the same price used as new.

"rare" is pretty much the dumbest word on ebay and reverb.

I agree dude, but if enough people believe something is rare, the prices go up.

This.
Red one's a PT2395 with a tube pre (at least it looks like it's actually getting some real power since there's a transformer in there).
Blue one uses MN3005's.
If you take out the "super fancy rare" part, it'd still be a pretty decent pedal.

I had several of these (red and blue echodrives, fatdrive) around 2001-2 and while they had a nice sound that was able to be slightly overdriven, there was nothing all that special about these SIB's to warrant the high prices. A new Belle Epoch will get you essentially the same sound in a smaller and cheaper package.

There's also a reissue that isn't as "fancy", right? Might be those that pop up more often?
