TimmyC Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 (edited) This pedal is the cream of the crop when it comes to fat synth tones. Extremely versatile, true bypass and in great condition. The last two that have gone on ebay have been over £300 plus postage so I'm asking £295 including delivery.

TimmyC Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 I think that they were quite expensive then Akai lowered the price for a blow-out just before they were about to be discontinued. Not sure on the exact figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgie Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I believe they were around the £80 to £100 mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 ...why exactly did they stop making them ? Sorry for going off-tangent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 They site lack if demand, which is clever code for "they're not making enough profit". They're also very complicated inside - so mfring cost must have been high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.sibs Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 has the firmware on this pedal been updates at any point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-bitch Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 They were £169 when released IIRC - but this was nearly 10 years ago so with RPI (not Brown's CPI bullshit factor), this probably isn't much over the new rrp. £80-100 were the shop prices after said shops bought huge batches of surplus from Akai when they were dicontinued, in fact, I'd be amazed if there was ever more than one huge production run.

Plus after having spoken to you I knew the you were using the money was for a good cause. PS: You left the original receipt in the box so I knew what you had paid for it!!!
