But still $300.00 -- what would be the point...? A clone of an expensive device ought to be affordable to a musician who actually has a use for it, but doesn't want to pay an exhorbitant collector's price...
$300 must not have been a issue to the person who used BIN. I wish I had that kind of money to drop on $300 on one pedal, but then again the quest for that perfect sound or tone can be just as addicting as any drug for some, and with any addiction, thought processes don't always work as they should, and you can spend a lot of money before you know it...
