    I'm waiting for one - hopefully getting close to arriving  (alongside another cool pedal that is sat "Awaiting Customs clearance")

    I've ordered one and can't wait. It's the most I've spent on a pedal too. So I'm  excited and sweating. Saying that, I haven't played a bad thorpy pedal yet.

    Looks as though mine is due tomorrow, just recived my Made by Mike Dreambox so I'm hoping as this will make 5 fuzz pedals I should be all set.

    I'm looking forward to this one.

    I think Thorpy could have charged more for them, too. I'd have paid it!

    I reckon secondhand prices will be higher, for sure  ;)

    Why would they? You aren't creating hype now are you ;)

    First batch of twenty were booked out today, they are taking me much longer to build than I thought they would so apologies if you are waiting, I'm on it though! All the pcbs are built, and I'm cracking through them at a steady rate.

    I was expecting to see them on eBay at around 350-400 depending whether any high profile player start using one.   Or tps review them.  

    Glad to hear they are in the way though - how did you hear?     Last I heard was mid Feb.

    Why?

    Well, this, from Thorpy's website:

    "The pedal will be extremely limited (100 units) due to the scarcity of our Germanium transistors, the Venerable AC128 PNP. "

  • Lol even so why would I pay more than list price. Plenty of other pedals around to choose from. I'm not a collector I'm a user :)

    Because you don't have the option to pay list price anymore.     There are plenty of pedals that are difficult to buy because of limited numbers, out of production etc that sell for more than they originally cost. 

    Personally I'm just looking forward to trying it out

    Yeah I get that but personally I would never pay over the top prices just becuase it's a limited edition. If it works for me I buy it simple as that. As said plenty of pedals around to choose from and I don't get drawn in with limited edition stuff..........my wallet won't let me anyway LOL

    Supply and demand will dictate prices, that's why pre cbs fenders are more than list and as are 59 Les Paul's.
