Then you are stupid. Kurt never used this.

[@joeyclemenza7339]

It’s not signed by him, it’s in horrible shape, I wouldn’t know if it’s his because there’s virtually no way to verify it’s legitimate ownership. At least you had pictures of cobain's fender... at most, I’d pay $30 for this thing. I'd think that someone like steve albini, butch vig or jack endino would probably know a little more about his gear.... though I'd doubt they could verify if THIS was the actual one. if not them, perhaps one of his guitar techs? it's hard to say... they made thousands of these things in the 90's... maybe even TENS of thousands...

[@daBEAGLE1017]

That look on Jessies face when the guy "disagreed" shows that he doesnt get told off very often. Priceless.

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

The Grunge was a fuzz high gain unit based on the FX70 Metal branded by DOD in summer 1993 to capitalise on the grunge scene. Cobain was reportedly to have tossed this into the crowd at MTV Live ‘N’ Loud in December 1993. Is doubtful he used it live or in the studio as he mainly used Boss DS-1 and Boss DS-2 Distortion units. He had a dark and sarcastic sense of humour so this doesn’t surprise me at all. Calling a pedal after a genre is a pretty corny thing but marketing loves that kind of stuff.

Kurt almost never used a DOD grunge it was just on his pedalboard essentially as a joke

[@sebastianrobinson1020]

Yeah during the In Utero tour for distortion he was using the Boss Ds2

[@crankystinkleton4284]

Yup. The only reason Cobain would own a DOD Grunge pedal would be as a joke. King Buzzo of Melvins once said sarcastically of the thing "Great. A pedal to make me sound like me." The company tried to make something called a 'Buzz Box' too, which was based on that Grunge pedal and some octave divider thing Buzz used on Eggnog. In Buzz's actual words from Guitar World (1994) "I have to admire DOD for putting out a thing that insane. Yes, the Buzz Box is totally worthless. It sounds like a vacuum cleaner."

Also does it seem odd that at MOST this guy is like, 35 years old yet was somehow at a nirvana gig with his wife in 1993. So he was married at 13-15 yrs old? gimme a fucking break. Also this is true, the grunge pedal was a pathetic attempt at cashing in on Nirvanas fame, no way kurt used a pedal designed to copy his sound lol Kurt used the nearly same pedal as mine, a boss ds-2 distortion. or ds-1. Orange stompbox, pedal is visible in the in utero album pictures of them playing live

[@haydenwegner2439]

I own a both of these pedals and tons more lol but wouldn't buy a "grunge" because it was a pedal that marketed off of the Seattle sound not a pedal that made it. Mudhoney was know for an EHX big muff pi and a super fuzz. Kurt used a ds1 a ds2 and a chorus. Krist used a pro co rat on bass and a ds1 for a short time.

Good job bro!👍

[@chadhero37]

if it was signed, notarized and had picture of Cobain giving it to his wife, he might could sell it.

[@mooknick242]

I have the exact same guitar pedal from early 90s..i am thinking of making up a story and seeing if I can get 500 for it damn. This guy has no real proof.

[@KaminoROBB]

I love how Cory says "died" at 27 and not "killed himself" at 27, true believer in the Coutney Love conspiracy

[@whiskerbiscuit6674]

No they just have to use less triggering words on cable.

[@Nick-rn6qp]

This same pedal was sold at Julien’s auctions for 16k

[@cristianosuarez2273]

this pedal was sold at auction for $16,000

[@thebossman80s]

How did mclovin end up with Kurts pedal

[@Pannemat]

Lol.

[@JUST0MUSICA]

same thought

[@SuperGoonch]

Kurt threw it at his girlfriend

[@andrewgilman7590]

Guy needs to sell it to a collector.

[@johnodgaard3103]

He would've paid way more for a pedal famously used by Mr. Brown

[@caedyncew7042]

John Odgaard SHHHHUT UP PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UPPPPPPPPPP AGAGAGSGAG THAT JOKE IS DRIVING ME INSNAE NSJSJSJSJSJSJSJXHDJJSS SHUT UPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MrParkerman6]

James Brown was a singer, not a instrument player.

[@johnodgaard3103]

MrParkerman6 a voice is certainly a type of instrument that got along with Mr. Brown famously.

[@donp11]

Apparently this went for $16k in 2021

[@cade_music]

Kurt actually never really used this pedal live, it just sat on his pedalboard.

[@monkeymonkeyson6743]

Why sell that

[@monkeymonkeyson6743]

deplore do you loser with nirvana. No didn't think so

[@JoshPillault]

“I know his guitars can sell for a small fortune” *sold for $6 MILLION*

[@arj7230]

6 million dabloons

[@lawlietsunboxings]

It was never actually used by him, he had it as a joke

"I know his guitar can sell for a small fortune" 1959 Martin D-18E - Hold My Strings

[@ManeeVaughn]

Kind of skeptical about this the moment I saw it on TV. Kurt always used a Boss Distortion on stage along with an Electro Harmonix Small Clone Chorus, and that's it. 2 distinct pedals in his arsenal.

[@MCM686]

Hard to believe!!

[@Maryonpark]

Just not enough proof. 15 grand, is he high? lol

[@smallclone]

@J27 proof enough that you dont do your research.

[@gmac55]

I just paid 2 grand for a rare large poster for a concert in Dublin same date his body was found plus a ticket for the show. Rarer than rare.

[@jeremytheoneofdestiny8691]

Why on earth would you pay $2k for a piece of paper advertising a concert that never happened?

[@gmac55]

@@jeremytheoneofdestiny8691 because it's rare and valuable

[@dusdincorleone]

Actually his girlfriend wrote Kurt smells like teen spirit on his wall.

[@jeremyciccone8213]

the battery covers missing forget it

[@genocanares1199]

such a lucky guy.

[@prometheusvenom7189]

I thought Cobain used primarily Boss DS Distortion pedals.

[@gamesincharacter5106]

Fun fact: that pedal is adigitech grunge distortion pedal. (DOD FX69 pedal)

[@onlyplayaseattacoswiththei9433]

"Did your wife fall in love w KC after he tossed her the pedal"?....not sure how to take that 😂

[@nayannbg6314]

FOLKS BELL If it was Kurt Cobain I wouldn't be upset with my wife for that

[@hydrin2002]

"You a big nirvana fan?" "Yeah, actually the only song i know is smells like team spirit" "It's actualy teen spirit" "Really? C'mon who's the nirvana fan here" (well clearly not you)

[@sargati_5022]

Nah fam thats an insult. That could've easily sold for more than 15,000$. Man their Highway robbers tbh.

2:06 " the most expensive Nirvana memorabilia ever sold is Cobain guitar,sold for $131.000" and boom, 4 years latter the guitar Cobain used in MTV unplugged sold for $6.000.000, crazy isn't?

[@koryhollis5995]

I bet they feel stupid now they didn’t buy that from him. Kurt’s guitar from 1993 mtv unplugged just sold for 6 million.

[@maxonmendel5757]

I need to watch more Cobain interviews. I’m so jealous of the people who got to see him and know him IRL before he died

[@GorGob]

Better not to mingle with a dope addict. It's rough and sad.

[@prodbyxanderjohan]

«Are you a big Nirvana fan?» «Oh yeah, I listened to Smells like teen spirit over and over»
