It's really silly. I've seen them for $40,000.

Here's a deal on one. Not completely "original" but you get the idea:

Chump Change!.....aaaaaggggghhhhh. I had to go and ask.

So, I guess it's worth the 800 or so it costs to build one.

This is the one Robben Ford plays, yes?


Thanks

You'll have to find someone more knowledgeable than me to tell you Robben's exact/close enough schematic, but yes...it is the overdrive special. Worth $20K or more?...not to me. That's real money there. However, worth $800.00 to build you own? (mine was a lot less than $800.00) Absolutely, its a unique voice. You can buy a Two Rock or a Fuchs and get to the same place. I'd rather build my own.

No, Robbin's is 100 watts and is more like the 97 version. I think the closest I've come is the 50 watt HRM version I just completed. Check out the Dumble Files forum for the schematic.

Thanks guys. I'm in no way shopping for one...just curious about them on the market. Build one? It's on the list, but it's a poor mans list.

Thanks again for the quick responses.
