What is your rarest pedal?

Johnnyseven

I have 2 Boss FZ2s, a DD2 and a long chip DD3. Not sure how rare they are but they aren't cheap to get hold of. All are still going strong!

Yes I have a Pignose for learning bits on the guitar.

Ah, I thought you had a HT as well. I was going to make a joke about which one has the chips in ... the Pignose just has separate transistors .

Definitely my Boss TU-3  

ESBlonde

Aphex aural exciter Type E. Actually it's a half rack unit, but been on the board for a couple of decades.

Out of my 2 pedals, this one is probably the most rare... VL Jimi Fuzz Face

I thought you were thinking along those lines

The only pedal I started feeling iffy about having on my board in case it got nicked was my Boss DC-2. 

I've had pedals which were more expensive but at the time the DC-2 wasn't easy to replace.  Then I found the Behringer clone, and now they've Waza'd the DC-2. 

I've got a Boss FRV-1 and they are getting (slightly) harder to find.

As are FZ-2 s but I don't know why I haven't sold mine tbh.

And they ain't making no more Bad Monkeys.

Looking at some prices asked on ebay I guess my Zendrive 2 could fit the category.  Certainly not made any more (by Alf).

Is it my Digitech Bass Synth Wah?

It would have been the awesome home-made boost with two outputs I got off ebay years ago if I hadn't sold it like a twat.

It's even rarer now even I don't have one.

I've got a plastic arion distortion pedal I bought second hand in the 90's.  doesn't work on one of the two settings and the stereo output doesn't do anything so that probably affects its erm value....

I’ve got a Salon Pedal... It’s like a Boutique Pedal with the added bonus of ear piercing capabilities.



See what I did there.

Mine would probably be a Hermida Audio Zendrive 2.

It's a pretty uncommon pedal, but I know there's at least a pair of them in the UK because Alf accidentally sent me two (he charged me for both, don't panic) and I sold the spare one at cost - which was slightly less than a quarter of what people are asking for them now!

MattBanshee

Ezhi & Aka Flutter - not only are they incredibly rare anyway, but each one is individually acid-etched with a design. Mine has the god Neptune on it.

Greatape

I've got a Timmy and an SCH-1. That's kind of it. Not especially rare. I use them all the time. 

Bellycaster

U-Sound Yellow Q (Envelope Filter)

Had to have it imported from Russia, bought it in 2012. Took about 2-3 weeks and I think it was held for a few days I also bought their "Shaman" Buffer at the same time, although I have hardly used the Buffer.

Here's a Vid of Mr Kingman with the Yellow Q

Nice Innit?

I suppose it's only "rare" in this Country, probably every Guitarist in Russia has one

gjonesy

ibanez suzz wah - big aluminium thing in a box in the garage somewhere (probably broken)
EQD sound shank

do they count?

Same thing happened to me. Sold my other to a mate for what it cost me.
At the time they were selling for at least double because of the wait.

My MonkeyFX Valvesporker. Properly rare as
Sporky only made 30 odd (I think) of them and every one has a different finish/design.

Ooh, I’d forgotten I have one of those as well!

Haha, yes!
Same here. Mine's brown with an orange stripes. Very 70's! 
Also got a couple of Sporky's Monkey Fuzzles - don't know how rare they are though.

Which reminds me, I also have a couple of Hello Sailor fuzzes (including the big pink one made from an naval ship's emergency light).

Otherwise I guess my rarest ones must be my Boss PN-2s and maybe the Ibanez DC9. Nothing spectacular though

Fulltone Stereo Deja 'Vibe 2 - never seen another one - certainly not out in the wild. It has it's own postcode and is built in crackle finished metal casing. This should have it's own 'Univibe butler' to accompany it out.

used to own the PW-2 which I believe is one of the rarest pedals they made?

BossArea site suggests 19000 of these built.....rare nuh huh. It isn't going to be my pension......
