Love of fuzz vs Money
Lately prices on quality fuzz has gone insane... So much so i'm concidering selling stuff i never thought i would, my pigdogs etc.
On one hand i love 'em dearly, but i'm just a poor broke ass doom-rocker.
Where do you draw the line?

I drew the line long ago, not chasing fuzz anymore, settled on a couple of quality pedals and that’s all I need

There are still plenty of reasonably priced options if you can't stretch the budget to meet the flashy pedals circulating Instagram. Castledine, Thunderbird and Emanating Fists have always been top shelf at a very fair price. Hell, I just looked, and you can get a Ghost Pep for £120 on his website! What's even better is that you don't need to clench your teeth every time you plug one of those pedals in, because there's no risk of a 'radio parts job lot' selection of "NOS" electrolytic capacitors failing 2 weeks in

...though it sucks to have to deal with all the crazies if/when selling

Something will hit you - it always does!
This way you still have more options: to sell or to trade...
Thinking about this very thing with my Sola MK2
If i started purging i'm pretty sure the money would fly out the door pretty fast on something

Re: Love of fuzz vs Money
What about the "moral" issue about selling them for what you paid or for what they are worth now?
I'm very much surprised about some crazy pricing on Reverb...that's assuming they can sell them with those prices.
I0m noticing that it's some time that it's begininng a trend of collectability for some, but which really?
For me maybe just DAM and Pigdog really, and Sola Sound Tone Benders reissue made by Dam and those Sola Sound MK1.

I don't have any moral issues selling for more than i payed, not trying to get crazy...but the thought crossed my mindDullboy wrote: ↑Sat Mar 20, 2021 7:14 pmWhat about the "moral" issue about selling them for what you paid or for what they are worth now?
