Ramjet Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) hello all, Used to work in the music retail business and i was going through a sealed container of gear I have at home and came across a boxed / mint condition / never taken out the box / gigged or played Akai Deep Impact pedal. Photos show that the instructions are still sealed in the original wrapper as is the unit. Has been securely stored and is totally authentic. Happy to answer all questions potential buyers may have. Serious offers at c. £950- £1000.00 please; no interest and i'll stick it on ebay or stick it back in the time capsule for another 10 years I have an AKAI Uni-bass in exactly the same condition - again, serious offers considered. Collection only, cash on pick up. I'm West Midlands based. thanks.[attachment=159122:034.JPG][attachment=159123:035.JPG][attachment=159124:036.JPG][attachment=159125:037.JPG][attachment=159126:038.JPG][attachment=159127:039.JPG] Edited April 8, 2014 by Ramjet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topo morto Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 The OP has presumably paid his dues to BC to put up the listing... and who knows, there may be a hygiene-conscious effect lover out there for whom this is a dream come true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramjet Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 I can assure you all that April 1st is totally coincidental. Price is based on fact that a couple of these @ 2nd hand have gone on ebay for £1800. this is effectively brand new. as i said, if no-one's interested, ebay it will be!

molan Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) I've seen a few of these with knocks and scratches sell for around the £700 mark. An extra £250 - £300 for an absolutely immaculate one seems fair to me Edited April 1, 2014 by molan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Alas I don't need a synth pedal at the moment but if I did this is the only one I'd go for. I've tried pretty much every synth pedal out there and, to my ears (plus a lot of heavyweight pro players) nothing else delivers the tone of a Deep Impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edstraker123 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I think its value is as a collectable, rather than being based on the quality of the pedal itself. I'll never forget having spent ages tracking one down, taking it round to burno's to put it through its paces and the expression on his face said it all when he asked me how much I had paid for it and that was at 200 quid ! I did sell it on at a small profit so if this one is new old stock it would be worth quite a bit to a collector or the pro players who can justify the expense.
