It's a different story if the pedal isn't available anymore and the company is not around or doesn't make it. But for stuff like the Ibanez TS9, Big muff, Proco rat, and others.

[@sisajtegabre]

​@@SteamvilleQuintet OK it have USB and FP..i have far more simpler only working with USB but that is what i need UMC404HD under 100$. Behringer IMHO got that bad reputation due to plastic enclosures for pedals also when people buy cheep and it is broken they are often angry but they overpay things they tend to find excuses ..for example there are tons of videos for let say guitars up to 500$ and they do bla bla how fret ends are sharp etc but when they do video for some Suhr or PRS that cost 3-4000$ and have sharp fret ends then they say ''it is normal thing and guitar have to be taken to pro for set up'' ☺..Fact is that all parts are made in Asia for pedals, all machines like CNC again Asian, pickups parts everything comes from there so it is a bit crazy to think they are not capable to make 1st class finished product..I don't have the problem to say that open no matter that i'm European, but some of my friends who try to make pedals, amps etc don't like that since the only thing they are left with to justify the high prices are lies more less. To make 1st class pedal in metal box if you make let say 100 of them- parts will cost you for each less then 5$, for pickups is the same situation only builder have less job to do. Then why some products cost 200$ when fer price should be under 50$? Simple human greed, take a look 99,99% of those small builders have no school usually they are musicians who couldn't do anything with musical career but they know very well that guitarists often tend to buy overpriced things due to marketing hype. If you buy some KIT pedal and solder it alone it will be equal with quality as any boutique out there 100%. cheers.

My 30 y/o wah has taken a lot of abuse and it still sounds wonderful. You get what you pay for with music equipment. firearms, and footwear.

[@guitarplayer2846]

For an extra $10, you can find plenty of high-quality "like-new" used pedals on the web from Boss, TC Electronics, MXR, and others. Remember that as soon as you take a pedal home, the value drops to "used". I bought a used faded Gibson LP with Burstbocker pros for $450 and it was in perfect condition. If somebody played it before I did, I sure can't tell. More than likely, some parents for their kid, he had no interest in playing it, and it was under the bad in the case for a couple years before they traded it in for a keyboard or a drum set for their next kid.

I've always been impressed by Behringer circuits. The only thing that sets them apart from other stomp boxes is that they are certainly not stomp boxes, more like gently tap with your big toe boxes. I was surprised to hear that tc electronics is part of the same conglomerate. I usually choose those because they give me the sound I'm looking for in a road ready package at a dirt cheap price point

I put it in the boost mode. Then run the gain low at maybe 9 o’clock and the volume high like you would a TS. Sounds crazy I know, but I do this to boost my cleans believe it or not. I know that probably seems strange, but honestly it fattens up my clean sound perfectly. I run my amp clean and play a lot of ethereal ambient stuff. So it works awesome for that, and doubles as an octave fuzz when I want to use it for that. Anyhow, I absolutely love that pedal!
