It's nuts! I started playing in '94 (I'm 38 now). A couple years after I remember looking through Vintage Guitar Magazine and seeing first year Les Pauls (obviously the least desirable of the bunch but I've always LOVED them) selling for just a few thousand. I wanted one so badly but thought that it was insane to play that much for a guitar even if I had the money (which I didn't!). As an aside, I've always been into cars. I was able to buy a really clean first year 996 Porsche 911 a few years ago. It is the first of the liquid cooled era that everyone has always said would never be worth anything. It's already doubled in price just during my ownership. I may have missed the boat on a lot of other stuff, but at least I got that one right!øøøøøøø wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 5:14 pmWhen sunburst Les Pauls first topped $25k it seemed insane.

Adjusted for time and inflation, that'd be roughly like an '88 Kramer Barretta selling for $47k or so today.

Re: Analogman!
His chorus pedal is awesome... I've kinda coveted one for like... almost 20 years.

Re: Analogman!
Hey thx for that.. My Bows find fell thru (definitely my preference based on something) but there's a Beano close to home so I may give it a shot...i love sharin foo wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 4:28 pm
No, I’ve not tried that EQD pedal. The Beano is a great counterpoint to a SHO. I actually have both on my board. I could give some opinions on how those compare though. The Beano is inherently dirtier and even at the fullest setting, still rolls off some lowend. It gives a great grit and aggression when pushing your amp. And it is still pretty bright. They can build them with “bass” tuning. I may order another voiced like that later. I like mine but it would be useful to have another with a wider range. The SHO is however full frequency and is more neutrally voiced. You basically get more of your amp without coloring the sound as much. Cranked up a good bit you probably do get a bit of drive out of the SHO on its own. But not as much as the Beano. I like both and find different uses for them. My Telecaster -> Beano -> Vox AC4HW is an amazing sound. Bright yes.

Re: Analogman!
I may absolutely be in love with AnalogMan stuff too I really went off the deep end with AM fuzzes this year too. I picked up a SunBender MK1.5 after this too.

Re: Analogman!
BTW, the above Chorus is Stereo. Never played a stereo chorus before and it's a totally different effect than running one in mono!

Re: Analogman!
Great collection!
I have really been interested in the MKIV. It seems to me like it would be a nice contrast with a Fuzz Face and MK1.5. I am still smitten with the Peppermint Fuzz. It really surprised me with how versatile it is. If I were headed out to jam and could only take one fuzzbox, I think it would be the one.

Re: Analogman!
I've been eyeing them up, too! After using Small Clones and my old Boss DC-2 for so long, all the options on his ordering page for the chorus made my head hurt I can't decide which controls I really NEED and which ones I WANT.mackerelmint wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 11:44 pmHis chorus pedal is awesome...

I've long had the Peppermint and the AstroTone but the MKIV is relatively new and I'm loving it so far. It could easily be my only fuzz for a gig. Oddly, the SunFace is the newest one and the one I've spent the least amount of time with so far, well, after the MK1.5 which I've barely had any time to plug into yet...
I mean, I'm kind of a fuzz junkie and I've picked up too many these past 2 years.

Re: Analogman!
That's a relatable problem... I figure as long as I have stereo, I'll be happy. It's suuuuuuch an amazing sounding chorus.i love sharin foo wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 5:45 pmI've been eyeing them up, too!

Re: Analogman!
This is true. The stereo is easily the best option out of everything else on that options page, everything else is subtlety. I have the mix knob as well which is nice but it would still be amazing without it.mackerelmint wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 3:50 pmThat's a relatable problem...

Re: Analogman!
I always miss the boat. 10 years ago clean early CBS Jazzmasters were $3k, by the time I could afford that they were $5k. 10 years ago an 80s 911 Carrera was $25k, then $50k by the time I could buy one, now nearing $100k. The original NSX is $100k now but was $25k not long ago. I had the opportunity to buy a 997 C2S with GT3 aero kit maybe 4 years ago but didn't as we wanted to buy a house, now that car is worth double. If I was 5 to 10 years older, I could have made a career of buying and selling cars. Now I finally have something cool, a Lotus, but with my luck that market will go down.i love sharin foo wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 5:27 pmIt's nuts! I started playing in '94 (I'm 38 now).

Re: Analogman!
Also would highly recommend. Was a Small Clone guy for 15 years or so and the Analogman Chorus does all that and more.i love sharin foo wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 5:45 pmI've been eyeing them up, too!

As far as features, I'd say Stereo is maybe the only crucial one that I wished I had. I have the three-way switch on mine but I honestly never use it. The original setting sounds just right.

With them moving away from ICE engines I don't see that in the short term. It won't appreciate as fast as a Porsche, but still...Pepe Silvia wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 3:40 amNow I finally have something cool, a Lotus, but with my luck that market will go down.

Re: Analogman!
Exactly why I bought it. I had a ton of equity in my car due to shortages, I have always liked Lotus and there is barely any Covid tax on Lotus compared to a Porsche. The numbers worked out for the most part, but I didn't want to risk not being able to buy a semi affordable manual ICE drivers car in the future since they are going away.Veitchy wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 2:11 pmWith them moving away from ICE engines I don't see that in the short term.

Re: Analogman!
This thread inspired me to start keeping an eye out for a Peppermint Fuzz.
To tag on to a common complaint lately: these are often listed (and apparently sold) at higher than new prices on that-common-online-used-equipment-site! While new ones are readily available from Analogman with just a 2 week time-to-ship.
Sigh.
The world is weird.
