The Auqa Puss got me thinking this could be a fun competition. For those of us who enjoy a bit of "I can't beleive someone paid that much for that pedal" conversation.

I'l make the first move with this one...

Ibanez TS-808 Tubescreamer only $1025

Well, hopefully I'll be in the running on the seller side soon. I've got a Kay Tremolo pedal (real one, not a clone) that I'm going to put on ebay soon.

On the "highest proce paid side": These things have some vintage-collector-voodoo now and a good write-up in Guitar Player, so hopefully some one will take it off my hands for good money.

On the "cheapest made" side, these things are unbelievably cheesy - ultra-light chrome and blue plastic, no shielding, and NO STOMPSWITCH! You have to reach down and slide a slide-switch by hand (or very carefully with your foot). They do sound way cool, though - kind of like a Diaz Tremodillo, but even better, IMHO.

could i hassle you to take a look and see what tranny's are in your kay? possibly some tranny voltages? not sure if you saw my kay trem thread below... i've been really struggling with that cicuit, and i have a feeling it's the tranny's... i would love to know what wasw in the originals... but only at your leisure tho...
