I always wanted one and that looks like a nice example, but I got an MXR EQ.
I've been looking at an online Boss catalogue, the one with the 'Original 4' compact pedals - GE-6, PH-1, SP-1 and OD-1.
I was surprised to see that the GE-6 was the most expensive of the 4 when they were introduced.
I assume the reason they now sell for far less than the SP-1 is that more GE-6s were sold, and for a longer period?
There's another question on the forum about GE-7 plastic sliders, I didn't want to post my comment there as my idea is a bit silly, but maybe they could be made quite easily. If you could get some white powdered plastic, then dip a heated metal bar the same size as a GE-7 slider bar into the plastic it would form a 'button'. When it cools remove the button and put it on the slider proper. Thinking back to powdercoating a bottle-opener in my schooldays brought about that thought  |

| Yeah - I have a 70s AC powered Ross 10 band (probably a clone of your MXR, if it's vintage) and the thing makes no noise whatsoever. It makes even the Boss GE-10, which I thought was bloody quiet compared to the GE-7, sound noisy. The GE-6, whilst rare, is worth nothing really - maybe AUD$100 tops if you can find someone intrigued by it's rarity. Last one sold for AUD$54, so that doesn't happen often. I guess the average buyer assumes 7 bands are better than 6, and so a used GE-7 sells for more. There seems to be enough GE-6s floating around to satiate the collectors out there such that you can get them for next to nothing. |
