Dudgeman Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Just in case anyone has missed it..there are currently 3 of these inbelievably rare pedals, so rare that you never see them for sale..well apart from on Ebay just about every week at the moment. 2 in Europe and one in the States..see if you can find them..one of the European ones looks brand new, mint box and instructions..nice..

crez5150 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 That's cheap..... at the moment. I wonder when these things are going to top out? I have two myself.... one for gigging and a spare... am always tempted to sell the spare but never do. Best synth pedal I've found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudgeman Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 I missed one 3 years ago from a dealer for £65.00. I saw it on his site..phoned and he had sold it 10 minutes earlier...Gutted. I wouldn't pay the sort of money they go for now no matter how good they are. Reason..I nearly bought a faulty one for £100 I spoke to Akai Pro in the UK and they said if there were any problems that needed parts then it would be almost impossible to fix..esp if it was the main chip. So you would need 2 if you gigged them...not at that money. I saw one in the States go for £750...they were $120 new if I remember right.

Dudgeman Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 I wouldn't rule that out..New album supposedly coming in a years time...He'll be searching for some new sounds from somewhere. Presumably the Mark bass unit can acurately reproduce all of the Impacts sounds if the Youtube demo is anything to go by...Isn't every wave and patch 100% programmable via PC?

The Akai unit is much better at producing more of an analogue type sound than the Markbass.... I know as I bought the Markbass unit also.... If you are after getting the Muse type sounds then the Markbass will do this fine.... I use mine for more authentic 70/80's dance/disco synth bass sounds which the Akai does much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
