Here is a post worth $10,000,000,000.

You pay me the ten bil, I'll edit this post to say anything you want...anything.

yewtreemagic Bill is still hand-making klon pedals in the original style, custom auctions, worth thousands of dollars, one at a time, as an aid to benefit a woman he knows who needs help.

People think the magic is in bill's pedal. "THE ONE." But you are right: the magic is (not) in the diodes, most of them will do. Same as any tube screamer or big muff. Just without the hype (Totally with the hype.)

Oh no -- the Klon wars!

I need to update mine to reflect changes in what’s actually here now.   Some things were jettisoned and some others purchased.  

I don’t either, but often think about it. Why wouldn’t homeowners insurance cover it? I am not running a business out of my home.

Depends on your specific policy and perhaps even state.

It's not terribly expensive to add on a policy, and well worth it if you ever need it.

Ok step 1. Have someone actually do an estimate of what your gear is worth.

Step 2. If instruments and recording gear are valued above 10K you need a rider. If not be happy and go drinking if not get your agent to write an equipment rider. ( just got one the family library it hurt ).

Step 3 set an eBay watch for your instruments and gear watch see if you need to increase said rider.

Ouch but are they shipping.


just saw a tascam1516 on Craigslist for $20K.

I WISH it was only that across the board.  Certain micro controllers that we use went from about $18 to about $148.  And even if you wanted to buy them,  the parts suppliers are throttling the amount you can order during a time period

Har!! Those should be racked as "producer comps".
