70s Ram's Head Big Muff Question

Post by devnulljp »

Question: If you found an early 70s Big Muff Pi Ram's Head for $300, would you jump on it?
I've never really had much luck with muff type pedals, but I hear this is the one (next to a triangle).
I was thinking about a D*A*M Ram's Head a while backthen the Captain stopped making em and the prices for a used one got up in the realms of the AIG bailout package.
What say you all?

I saw a triangle muff go on evil bay a couple of weeks ago for $150 (but didn't see it until after the auction had closed)!!!!

I wondered that myself. For $200 I would jump without even thinking about it, although it's shipping that's pushing it to $300. I've never had any luck with muffs -- I've heard people sound sublime with them, but most just sound like a buzzsaw.

At $300.00 I would not jump, unless it was an ultra clean and all original example. The one in the picture would not make me jump. Now if it was a D*A*M I wouldn't just jump I would do cartwheels and back flips!

I have not see DAM Ramhead on sale for a while.
I think the going price range was $450 to $ 550...
There was one for $800ish too....

I am a BIGGEST sucker on the Ebay and get ripped off all the time... I just can not help myself.

I paid more than $300 for my Ramheads . . . :doh:
one in the picture is not in perfect condition, but if it was on the Ebay for $300, I am sure some one will snatch it quick.
$300 seems OK to me... but as I said... I am not good at buying thing at the good price. I would make horrible investment adviser... :choke:

I'd just as soon pick up a MJM Foxy Fuzz and use the extra cash for something else if you just want a good sound and don't care about the vintage vibe.

or you can have this one.... :squint:
I was wondering if that one would sell. It's been modded too, so that seems a bit steep.
