dannybuoy Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I’ve bought all my Tech21 stuff from US sellers in the past, and most of them ended up devaluing the package to avoid import fees... I work for a US company now though so would probably just get something sent to a colleague’s house and get it from them next time we meet up! It is a lot of money for a pedal, but looking at it in a relative way, it’s half the cost of the dUg amp (which is one of these with a power amp) and twice the cost of a regular Sansamp (and it has double the knobs/jacks/etc. If I can sell my BDDI and DP-3X and get the same tones + more out of this, I may be interested.

That's a fair point actually, but I feel it's still way too pricey. If it had dual inputs (which it doesn't) I'd probably agree with you. For a pedal to have an almost 50% markup from US to UK pricing is obscene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So US/Sweetwiter $500 preorder, Thomann £611 (or $775). Bonkers. If I do pull for one of these it'll be though my brother in law on a US trip.

Just to check though (as I know US sites can sometimes be a bit fiddly with their prices) - is that $500 including sales tax? *EDIT* I just checked sales tax rates, and most states aren't above 7%, so post tax it would be arount $535, so not hugely different Edited May 16 by Killerfridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
