GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Insane Price/demand On Original 808 Pedal

Posted by: Todd Simpson Feb 1 2013, 09:31 AM

I was a bit shocked to see this ancient tube screamer getting $500 + bids on ebay. These are really spiff and rare, but my goodness, this is just nuts.

LOL... it may cost your soul just to get one. How'd you end up with two of them Slavenko?

I had that very one around 1989 I think... I was checking it out from a buddy of mine and he almost parted with it but changed his mind after I had it about two weeks.

I got a cheap Ibanez SoundTank some time after that that I've had for years that I recently did the update to to make it sound like an 808 as it had the original chip in it. It works really well.
