Went for £510 in the end. Significantly less than the last one but maybe not the greatest idea to have an auction ending at 12.47pm on a Friday...
There's a few chancers "Oh I preordered two my mistake and now I'm reluctantly flipping it for a 200% profit..."

I can't think how I could've made such a mistake.
The amount of gain on tap, the lack of noise even at full tilt with a strat, the form factor, the added options, and even the mojo are spot on. I didn't think that the optional buffer would be of any use because of the way buffers interfere with performance when used with most old-fashioned fuzz pedals, but the buffer is excellent and seems to be output-only. The variablevoltage is great fun. Running the pedal at 7 volts is brilliant, but it was the 12-volt option that surprised me.
All in all, I think even at the inflated prices, for £600-650 this is a brilliant pedal worth that price. Moreover, if you are a fan of fuzz and of Boss I may even go as far as calling it a fleeting bargain. Those who pay that or maybe even slightly more are not likely to feel any remorse for doing so.
It has been a landmark year for Macari's for good and bad reasons. After more than half a century of trading in London and creating some of the most influential objects in the history of modern music they were forced to close shop where generations of musicians going back to the Beatles could visit and experience their shop, which had come to be seen by some as a pilgrimage site for guitar players. The flip side to the bad and silver lining is this collaboration with their old rival company that forced the Sola Sound and Colorsound brands out of the market. I see the Boss Tone Bender as a handshake through time and for that I think it has value beyond its practical use.

Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
Did anybody else get Ant and Steve to sign the box in a nice silver pen just so rad they offered to do it also came with a lovely little hand side note from Ant. Would have to be hard times for me to shift it and there are 100 things that would go before it.
As a functional fuzz. No.
As a collector's item, Yes.
