all are in GREAT SHAPE. Never seen a stage and pretty much sat on carpet. All have less than 4 hours of "on" time.
Original Boxes and most if not all documentation.

I really don't want to deal with e-bay, and I'll ship them for whatever they cost to ship. I'm guessing less than $5 each.

all have been owned by me for less than a year.
make an offer.
btw: the only real reason why i'm selling these is b/c i found something that suits my needs and they are just sitting in their boxes...sad for not having someone to play with them.

I've been using a Boss ME-50 that has all those padals built into it, it's quite a nice piece of equipment. I know this is irrevelant to your offers but I just thought I'd throw it out there.

I don't like heave disto, so I'm generally using a Boss DST+ (think MXR Distortion+) with about a quarter drive 3/4 to heave bottom end, 3/4 tone and a 50% level with a just a touch of noise suppression for heavier rhythm work, and for cleaner heavier lead I'm using a Modern DS with a loop to a little crunch, similar tone settings and about 70% level on the DS with only 20% on the crunch, a touch, and I mean only a touch of tremelo (10% depth, 10% rate) and about 100 ms on delay.
My two favorite tones for disto.

I want the O-S2, and I certainly cannot refuse a pedal that has a pi sumbol on it. Tell me the damage and I'll get a check in the mail this week.

Way better than what? There's like a billion different distortion pedals and settings???

All of them. No pedal can properly replicate the tone and feel of tubes being overdriven. I will admit, though, at times i like to use a TS808 clone (original Ibanez Tube Screamer) as a "boost". I leave the gain on zero and put the "level" on 7 or 8.

Did you make it? How hard is it? I have thought a little bit about trying one someday. I have built a pedal, and it wasn't too bad. The cost of a tube amp has hindered me from buying one.

Yes I did. I've built 3 different Marshall amps, the head cabinets, and (3) 4 x 12 speaker cabs.

Marshall HandWired 100W Plexi = $2800
Marshall KerryKIng signature = $1899
Marshall JVM 100W (which is crap) = $2199
You get the idea... this stuff is a ton of money and don't be fooled. The "re-issues" fall short. They went cheap on the transformers and components and are not the "same" as their original counterparts. You can buy a 100W kit for $1100 - $1500 and build something WAY better than anything that's being sold in stores.

It's much more complicated than building a pedal, but if you take the time to really research the circuit and some basic electronics theory, you can do it and you'll find it to be quite an enjoyable experience.

True... and my current and final build (which is a re-do of my first build) will do that! More gain than you'd know what to do with... all while peeling the paint off the wall.

Guilty.

I prefer "gain". Feel free to add "beer snob" to that list, as well. :lol:

I understand what you are saying...the best sound I ever had was a cheap Yamaha guitar going through a 30Watt Marshall Combo cranked up all the way...even with a Fender Strat and a Boss GT6, I was never able to get as good a sound as that Marshall...
