I just sold a DOD FX-33 Buzz Box Guitar Pedal for US$100! hahahahahaha
I found it in my music studio in the bottom drawer - I bought it years ago!! hahahahahahahahhaha Totally pleased with that. By the way, I have no idea what I paid for it but not as much as that!
I put this in the ad and had FIVE people fighting to buy it:
This pedal has been out of production since 1997 and is a real collector's item.
The pedal comes complete with its original box and manual.
I bought it years ago, played with it ONCE in rehearsal and never ever used it again - so it's never been played in public.
The Buzz Box is a loud distortion pedal with a psychotic octave that doesn't track. As you turn up the heavy knob you get more and more octave - from a slight overtone, right through to a burbling sound like a volcano erupting... The Octave noise gate fizzes and makes clicking sounds, the synthy octave jumps randomly from 1 octave down, 2 octaves down or no octave at all, depending how it feels at the time.
The distortion fizzes and the octave jumps around behind you when you play leads. Play a chord and it's like an icepick in your ear. It sounds like a blown speaker, or a truck running you over. It's loud and nasty - but everyone knows that, and it's the whole point of this pedal.
This pedal is very cool to get horrid noises. On guitars it's useful for Sonic Youth noiseouts, in electronic music it's good for Squarepusher or Aphex Twin type interludes. Turn it on and make the soundman hate you. Turn it off and you're back to your normal sound. The audience will wonder what on earth happened there.

I had lunch with a very attractive woman....who is not my wife...(oh! the scandal!!!)...yesterday too, actually.
she likes my music and my hair.
ps> I also saw a very stunning meteor tonight.....the most impressive I've ever seen, possibly. It was literally like a small fireball streaking right past the moon for maybe 3 seconds....

hahahahahaa Boys!
Steve, I have some stuff I NEVER use - drum kit, pedals etc. and I figured I could sell them off and put the money towards my dream guitar amp! The money I had saved for it I invested in my ebay business so I'm kind of starting again!!!

I'm late but here's the story of the 11th. birthday of my daughter two days ago......................
I came home and wanted to give her a birthday present.
In that very moment her beloved guinea-pig turned on the back and made his last breathe - died.
1 hour unhappy children.............
After that my daughter demonstrated an artistic dance with girlfriends - all went fine - until my daughter overdid it - stumbled and fell on the ground.
It turned out she broke her right arm - daughter with daddy until midnight in the hospital - x-ray - plaster cast.
And all this while we were in preparations to leave for a holiday on the Canary Islands.............
