WTB - Kingsley Jester

blueswallace

This is my first post and I'm glad I found this site. 

Im looking to take the plunge and order and Kingsley Jester but what with the exchange rate, posting from Canada and customs I thought I'd see if anyone is selling one within the U.K. Second hand. It's a long shot but worth the post. 

Also interested in older versions of the pedal and others from Simons range. Budget up to £250 but this is subject to what's on offer. Could be more, might be less. 

Cheers

A fine pedal. There have been one or two on here fairly recently. Hopefully there will be another soon. You might want to message @Gassage, he's had one for several weeks now, so it's bound to be for sale at any moment.

If I recall correctly @TubeGuy is selling one, and rest assured he is a lovely chap to deal with, just bought a pedal off him very recently myself
Oh and welcome aboard!

I still plan on getting a V2 to replace the V1 that I sold.

Thanks you all for the replies. It's very helpful guys. Just received an email from Kingsley saying there's a 14 week waiting list. Sad times. Let me know if you change your mind Gassage.

14 week? Wow, that's great news for someone who clearly deserves the work. My jester is snuggling into his spot on my board just down from the bard. The mid boost on the jester is the same as the boost on the bard. I drove the bard hard with a compressor to achieve tones similar to what I imagine the page produces. Great stuff.

Some heavily made up circus performer is selling a V1 on eBay. He only after £300, and it ships from Athens!

I can get a version 2 from Simon delivered for £300. I'm not in too much of a rush to pay £300 for a V1.  I like the smaller sized version 2 but would happily get a V1 at the right price. 
Thanks for looking that up and letting me know. Really loving this form and all the help I've received. Guitar players sure know how to look after each other :-)

I wasn't seriously suggesting that you pay £300 for a V1. That's an outrageous price, double what I've seen them go for in fact,  & you'd still have the hassle of international shipping. I know I called him a clown, but in his defence it does say best offer. Offer him £170. He can only tell you to F off.

Actually I wouldn't bother, he's being monkeying around with a resistor (under Simon Kingsley's direction apparently) to reduce the treble response, unless of course you are OK with that kind of scary techy stuff.

Sweet heads up. No into this treble response crap. ,EQ it right and let the hands to the talking.

Bump.

I sold mine, replaced it with a thorpy gunshot and used that with a boo boost or Klon clone.

then sold the gunshot and replaced it with a nobels od-1r..

I prefer the nobels to both those pedals personally.

I came to the same conclusion and it only cost £40!

not sure how you can compare an ODR1 with a Jester. Totally different creatures and I speak as someone has owned them both, twice

you can compare them in how you find they work with your guitar/amp and pedals..     anyway apologies for hijacking the OP's thread.
